Summary: The usage of social networks was significantly expanded in 2020, making it is
also necessary to analyze the geographical experience of networking and
displacement in the pandemic. By increasing the use of digital technologies in
our daily lives, due to the impossibility of fully enjoying the city, we have
profoundly modified our physical, cultural and bodily relations with the city. The
overlaps between the networks that were formed in the pandemic, with impact
on the territory, and the virtual networks make up hybrid spaces. In the body-
city-place cut, we are interested in the intersections between mapping and
mobile devices, mediated by the pre-existing networks and new networks that
were formed during the year 2020. This research analyses the experience of
mapping the networks of five women who work with in community activities in
Centro, Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, and who symbolically and materially
build another city. The premise is a knowledge process under construction, not
necessarily linear or explicitly academic about the relationship between
extensive and intensive mapping. Complementary issues such as
contemporary art, feminism and cyberspace are present. The general structure
of the research is divided into five parts. The introduction presents a conceptual
approach to the main research questions, the justification, the methodology
and context of the research. The second part deals with the relationship
between body and city. The following chapters, three and four, are specific
about mapping, displacement records and analysis tools for understanding
these hybrid spaces. In conclusion, we rescued the extensive and intensive
map relationship, the route built on the thesis and reflections on other possible
paths for mapping.
