| local.description.resumo | This paper discusses the possibility of building a planning theory from the Global South through an anthropophagic association between Actor Network Theory (ANT) and Historical Materialism (HM). It draws from Oswald de Andrade’s early attempt to question Brazilian’s cultural dependency proposing an anthropophagic process that creates a recursive feedback between both cultures and theories. ANT provides an effective tool to quickly map a locality without any pre-judgement of value in the relationships of eventual conflictive parties; while HM allows for an in-depth critical analysis of co-existing conflicts found on site. Though considered as opposing theories, we argue that such an association is valuable as an agonistic approach to planning. This approach is essential if we want to overcome the heteronomy inherent in the profession towards a project of radical democracy. We have been experimenting the intertwining of such theories in rurban spaces since 2013. This paper presents the benefits of such an approach, discussing the way students dealt with it in the undergraduate course “Socio-spatial practices and ICTs in rurban communities” taught at the School of Architecture at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil. | |
