| Sumario: | In a context of increasing platformization of the city where mobile phones configure a kind of prosthesis-body-territory, we seek to recover traces of the cultural history of public telephones and recompose elements of the process of social resignification of these artifacts. From this investigation, we will reflect on the emotional links that a society establishes with its spaces and its technologies as identity keys. We employ a qualitative methodological strategy of critical-interpretive analysis of a heterogeneous corpus composed of newspaper and documentary material, photographic archive, current photographic record and sustained observation in different locations where telephones were identified. These tasks were carried out mainly during 2022-2023. Finally, in May 2024 we implemented a qualitative survey to survey uses, meanings and emotions around these artifacts. In the case of the public telephones in the city of Rosario we notice a social imaginary composed of three meanings: public telephones as a place, as a ruin and as heritage. |
