THE TRIPLICITY OF SPACE AND EVERYDAY MOBILITY FOR THE STUDY OF SOCIOSPATIAL FRAGMENTATION

This article aims to discuss the relevance of a broad concept of daily mobility by studying socio-spatial fragmentation processes in urban contexts. For this purpose, we applied the Lefebvrian idea regarding the triplicity of space. This concept allows us to propose a substantial vision of daily mobility from structures, infrastructures, and models. Additionally, it also provides an understanding of individual practices who articulate themselves with the analysis of socio-spatial fragmentation. The mobility can be interpreted as an instrument of fragmentation, alienation, and exclusion; however, it could also reveal its potential for resistance against hegemonic powers. Based on a compilation of data on the mobility question, from previous research and experiences collected through ten years, the current article is based on the Brazilian context to support our main argument.
