Abstract

This essay focuses on the construction of citizenship from the perspective of globalization as a theoretical model that does not exhaust the visions that the inhabitants of Latin America may build on the citizen exercise. Assuming the city like the space of the liberal project of Modernity, the article raises the incidence of globalization and multiculturalism, like its co-narration, in contemporary cities. For this, it describes the differences that the concept of "desterritorialización", produced by show business and market, operate between the large cities of the First World and those of Latin America. The essay proposes the construction of a new perspective of the city in Latin Ameri ca, from a conception of culture that does not legitimizes the precarious urban daily life and restores the notion of territorial colectivity. Thus, we will be able to assume our cities
