BUENOS AIRES NODE
https://gecu.com.ar/
We are a team of sociologists who, since 2012, have been conducting research in the Cultural Studies Department of the Gino Germani Research Institute at the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires, within the framework of research projects funded by the UBA Secretariat of Science and Technology and CONICET. The GECU is made up of trained researchers, graduates and undergraduate students, CONICET and UBACyT research fellows, and postgraduate thesis students. Our lines of work are oriented towards the analysis of the differential uses of the city from a perspective that articulates Urban Studies with the Sociology of Culture, emphasising three main areas: modes of production of urban space, modes of inhabiting, and modes of circulating through the city.
The purpose of the Cultural and Urban Studies Group (GECU) is to contribute to the training of young researchers in the fields of sociology, anthropology and urban planning, to develop a space for theoretical and methodological debate on issues of urban conflict, to promote exchange with research teams and projects both at the IIGG and at other research institutions addressing similar topics, and to develop dissemination, outreach and transfer activities that have an impact both in the academic sphere and on public opinion.
