DIZ REBOREDO, Carlos  and  FERNANDEZ DE ROTA, Antón. AMBIENT-FEAR: ON DISCIPLINARY URBANISM, THE CONTROL SOCIETY AND ITS INDIGNANTS. Revista San Gregorio [online]. 2017, vol.1, n.17, pp.6-15. ISSN 2528-7907.

This paper explores the concept of ambient-fear, which we define as the historical product generated by the material and discursive conditioning of urban space. In historiographical perspective and with a qualitative methodology we will attend to the conditions of his governance and to the forms of his resistance. First, we will track the origin of urban fear, expanded around European capitals during the 19th century to the rhythm of a developing disciplinary urbanism. Next, we will describe contemporary ambient-fear, settled in the control society and reflected in government, design and urban planning. Finally, approaching the pole of resistances and regarding the new global movements we will interpret the 15M or Indignados Movement as an attempt of reconditioning urban scape, that both in its material aspect as in its discursive side faced fear to rethink democracy.

Keywords : City; control society; disciplinary urbanism; indignants; fear.
