Observação experiencial da enseada de Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

Embodied Observation of the Enseada de Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. This article was inspired by the depletion of the rationality paradigm which has minted all the path of the science in the last three centuries as well as in authors that try to redeem the presence of human values in the science. I decided to write it as provocation after my impressions and analysis developed during a decade as a resident of the enseada de Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro. Base on the presupposition of Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela – “to live is to know” – supported by the arguments of Boaventura Santos, Fritjof Capra e Illia Prigogine & Isabelle Stengers in which the scientific knowledge should get closer again to the common sense, using as an analysis tool, the embodied observation, I describe the observed urban context with the aim of questioning the prevailed logic of the constructed environment and I describe a film set proper of a science fiction film if it was not for its causes and acts so real and feasible.
