Urban spaces that speak: Discursive construction of ideology and aesthetics in the political field

This article proposes an aesthetic-political approach to public space as a central site for the ideological configuration within the political field. Through a theoretical review, it explores how professional elites translate their values into interventions that shape regimes of visibility, exclusion, and appearance. In this framework, aesthetics operates as a dispositive of sensible structuring that conditions citizen experience and delimits the possibilities of political action. Public space is understood as both a physical setting and a communicative form in which meanings, bodies, and positions are contested.
