【 摘 要 】

This article analyzes the public art event “Lisboa Capital do Nada” [Lisbon Capital of Nothing], which involved a series of projects of public intervention that took place in Lisbon in 2001. This project raises questions about the social role of art in the preservation of “authentic” ways of life, as well as about the role of the artist as witness of daily life in his/her attempt to regenerate urban spaces considered to be problematic and in helping to construct a social identity that identifies the people with the place. However, the mobility of artists, intellectuals, politicians and experts contrasts with the stationary condition of others, who are thus subjected to a local identity and are objectified by a touristic gaze. This form of cultural tourism maintains the asymmetries of mobility, reinforcing the power of those that have control over their own mobility and over the circulation of meanings. In attempting to substitute the fragmented and subjective experience of space by a disciplining and unifying, or coherent, representation, the concept of place as process is disregarded.
