Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical characterization of deterioration, which can be applied to anthropological analysis of urban spaces. Although the application of this characterization contains a degree of arbitrariness when choosing which guidelines should a space meet to be considered in deterioration, it is oriented towards the analysis of the configuration potential that spaces in deterioration present in relation with conventional spaces in the city. In this sense, for the definition of deterioration, the presence of a knowledgeable person who creates representations of space from underlying processes, this is to say cognitive processes, becomes important. Thus, starting from a theoretical characterization, a framework of inquiry is exposed in this paper to analyze the configuration of the urban space within a transactional system, reassessing the positive nature of deterioration from the city in general and the role that cognition has in the definition of deterioration and its representations.
