Pereira: between veiled memory, blurred history and postmodernity misunderstood - a reading of his current being from the example of the sitm-Megabus

Abstract

The following text tries to approach the thematic one of the Memory from the interpretation of progress demonstrated in the urban renovation in Pereira -and special in the construction of the Integrated System of Massive Transport SITM-Megabús -. Raises that Pereira lives between the Memory, History and the Posmodernity, but no of them really reflects the being City; the Memory because it is guarded by a story of the history framed in the frenetic speeches of the consumption through the Average Mass; History, because -in equality with the previous thing he is partial, "a history" is only counted and the past it is stumped more and more in a single version; and, the Posmodernity, because although it is certain we lived in the society of the means -as it suggests Vattimo-, of the mediatic speeches, which has occurred in Pereira is not indeed the plurality of the speeches -that impels the posmodernity-, but the to silence of the diverse thing, to differ, the Citizen and its relations, in a phrase: "a silence of the being of the City to favor the beauty of the cement". We have one more a "prettier city", but we must be asked: what City?
