| Summary: | The political climate experienced at the beginning of the XXI century has been tumultuous and the denotation of material space and symbolic space has suffered the most accentuated epistemological and phenomenological dislocations in memory. Urbanism is stands for territorial organization and public space planning, an area of knowledge whose research component ends up adding a spectrum of interdisciplinary contributions in languages, sometimes of contextual allusion, sometimes of theoretical denotation, of spatial policies. The urban languages provide guidelines for the concrete, urbanism is characterized by a very linked practical function. Where political ideolog y finds means for social representation in space, something specific to the human condition emerges, conflict. Today, much of the uncertainty inherited by urbanism is being attributed to an explosion that affected everything that concerns society, culture, economy, science, politics, etc. and which is conceptualized in a polysemy of meanings attributed to the term (post)modernism. The greater the uncertainty surrounding the subject's field of interest, the more he is left to himself. It is in this spirit that the present thesis points the reflection less towards the contact with what is concrete about urbanism and more towards the sense from which urban languages are constituted. The type of knowledge that constitutes the moment of action on the territory, with its instruments of assessment, operationalization and strategy, is preceded by methodologies for interpreting the social space and assumptions about values, ideas, truths, etc. The objective of the thesis will be to explore the contours of what constitutes an autonomous attitude as an educational ideal, in a time where the denominations of autonomy are contested within the very intellectual traditions that conceived them. The exercise of cognitive mapping will be the strongest theme of this exploration. The nature of the task does not allow for the adoption of a unitary or constant methodology, since the interpretive method itself is a source of tension and will be being transformed as new ideas are approached and new knowledge is acquired. The modes of social production and reproduction are fed by constructions of meaning, understanding what we know and what we can know about society in space is to understand the collective imaginaries that we shape, that partially shape us and for which we are responsible.
