Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of singularity, which emerges within the opposite binariesof formal/informal, legal/illegal, center/periphery, aiming to overcome this rationalityin order to promote theoretical alternatives that make possible to re-signify thesocio-spatial characteristics of the city in all its forms. It also suggests a methodologicaltool called the singularity mapping, from the idea of the composition plans developedby Deleuze & Guattari (1997), which interact and contribute to create strength lines oftime and space to make visible the social and spatial mobility. The informal sector Suba-Tibabuyes will provide the empirical case to discuss the potentials of this conceptualand methodological alternative.
