Inhabiting Body-territories in the Datafied City: a Zine about embodiment

"This is a fanzine. A fanzine, or zine, is a self-published 
material inspired by the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) idea. I have 
produced this fanzine to disseminate what I learned and 
found from my two-month research stay at Instituto Mora, 
located in Mexico City, thanks to the support of the 
PRODIGEES project. 

I was in Mexico from July to September 2024 to exchange 
with researchers, social movements, and activists so that I 
could elaborate further on the concept of body-territory as 
a tool to understand how data-driven urbanism enacts 
different bodies in the cities.

Inspired by workshops I attended during my research stay, 
I make this fanzine a digital collage of notes, references, 
ideas, insights, and, why not, affections and memories. 
Those pieces put together a collective learning process 
around the topics I was dedicated to. 

This is a summary of reflections on the possibilities 
brought by the increasing datafication of cities. In this 
sense, this work claims that departing from the body as the 
first scale of territoriality is an essential starting point 
for thinking about urban data.

As a Latin American researcher in diaspora, I hope this 
humble work also crosses borders and boundaries, breaking 
walls to foster a dialogue about other ways of living in the 
big data era."
