description Within the field of urban social theory, debates still persist around the definition of two key concepts for the discipline: the city and the urban. Although this has not been a problem for the development of empirical research on cities, it is interesting to recover these divergences in order to problematize the way in which urban phenomena are defined and, consequently, interpreted. Thus, in this article I propose to deepen the epistemological debates on the city and the urban, based on the dialogue between critical urbanism and urbanism of assemblages. For this purpose, the exchanges carried out between Neil Brenner, Colin McFarlane and Ignacio Farías during 2009 and 2011 in different academic journals are recovered. The contribution of this article is to continue introducing to the debate on the city and the urban the proposal of urbanism of assemblages, which poses a challenge to the foundations of conventional urban criticism, introducing a conceptual framework that brings with it a significant epistemological shift for urban studies. The urbanism of urban assemblages proposed by Farias (2011b) is distinguished by its attention to the city as a continuous process of composition and recomposition, where multiple human and non-human actors interact and intertwine to shape complex and dynamic urban environments. While critical urban theory also refers to the city as product and production, and not as a finished object, assemblage urbanism radicalizes this reading by including the notion of composition, which opens up the range of actors and agencies involved in urban formations.

Dentro del campo de la teoría social urbana, aún persisten los debates en torno a la definición de dos conceptos claves para la disciplina: la ciudad y lo urbano. Por más que ello no ha significado un problema para el desarrollo de investigaciones empíricas sobre las ciudades, resulta interesante recuperar estas divergencias para problematizar el modo en que se definen y, en consecuencia, se interpretan los fenómenos urbanos. Siendo así, en este artículo me propongo profundizar en los debates epistemológicos sobre la ciudad y lo urbano, a partir del diálogo entre el urbanismo crítico y el urbanismo de ensamblajes. Para ello se recuperan los intercambios llevados a cabo entre Neil Brenner, Colin McFarlane e Ignacio Farías durante 2009 y 2011 en diferentes revistas académicas. El aporte del presente artículo consiste en continuar introduciendo al debate sobre la ciudad y lo urbano la propuesta del urbanismo de ensamblajes, el cual plantea un desafío a las bases de la crítica urbana convencional, introduciendo un marco conceptual que trae consigo un giro epistemológico significativo para los estudios urbanos. El urbanismo de los ensamblajes urbanos propuesto por Farías (2011b) se distingue por su atención a la ciudad como un proceso continuo de composición y recomposición, donde múltiples actores humanos y no humanos interactúan y se entrelazan para dar forma a entornos urbanos complejos y dinámicos. Si bien la teoría urbana crítica también refiere a la ciudad cómo producto y producción, y no como un objeto acabado, el urbanismo de ensamblajes radicaliza esa lectura al incluir la noción de composición, la cual abre el abanico de actores y agencias involucradas en las formaciones urbanas. No campo da teoria social urbana, ainda persistem debates sobre a definição de dois conceitos-chave para a disciplina: a cidade e o urbano. Embora isso não tenha sido um problema para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa empírica sobre as cidades, é interessante recuperar essas divergências para problematizar a maneira como os fenômenos urbanos são definidos e, consequentemente, interpretados. Assim, neste artigo, proponho-me a explorar os debates epistemológicos sobre a cidade e o urbano, com base no diálogo entre o urbanismo crítico e o urbanismo de conjuntos. Para isso, recupero os intercâmbios realizados entre Neil Brenner, Colin McFarlane e Ignacio Farías durante 2009 e 2011 em diferentes revistas acadêmicas. A contribuição deste artigo é apresentar a proposta do urbanismo de assemblage, que desafia os fundamentos da crítica urbana convencional, introduzindo uma estrutura conceitual que traz consigo uma mudança epistemológica significativa para os estudos urbanos. Essa abordagem desafia as concepções estáticas da cidade e propõe uma visão relacional da coformação ativa da vida urbana que tem importantes implicações teóricas, práticas e políticas para a compreensão e o enfrentamento da complexidade urbana atual.
