Resumen

Acceda a Google Maps y busque Manhattan. Hacia el sudeste descubrirá un entramado de jardines salpicando la retícula neoyorquina. Desde los años sesenta, distintos agentes ciudadanos, vecinos, artistas y arquitec- tos, como Matta-Clark o Fuller, co-crean estos jardines reinventando, desde la marginalidad, una ciudad cuyos espacios verdes se pensaron concentrados en Central Park. Numerosos autores revisitan, desde enton- ces, la historia de estos solares tomados para el uso común. El artículo plantea cómo los más de cincuenta jardines comunitarios existentes hoy, constituyen una red informal que combina ‘afecto’ y ‘disidencia’, crean- do unos espacios tecnificados, codificados, y conectados que se llamarán espacios ‘afecdentes’. Estas construcciones, alejadas de las hegemonías de poder, reconfiguran el espacio público. Oponiéndose a la administra- ción, al mercado inmobiliario, a la invasión mediática y a la apropiación de lo público por parte de lo privado los espacios ‘afecdentes’, aparecen como referencia en la arquitectura contemporánea común
