It is focused in the way in which the destroyed architectural environment can influence and modify collective experiences of belonging. It begins by reviewing the recent approaches with which geographers have conceptualized architecture: the Actor- Network Theory and the theory of affects, from which buildings are not viewed as inert objects but as objects that “do things''. It is recognized that both approaches have not sufficiently explored embodied experience, the role of human subjectivity, or of memories and reminiscences in the mediation of affects in contact with architectures and non-humans of the present. Through the case study of a demolished Mexican manufacturing area, it is shown how effects of material remains (atmospheres of destruction) are intersected by another type of affect that brings together the embodiment of past encounters: haunting. Co-inhabiting post-demolition has meant demarcating affective borders as mental-bodily limits that enable the inhabitants to continue their emotional-affective work in the face of the fading of memories and feelings of belonging. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la relación entre la destrucción arquitectónica y la memoria corporal de quienes habitaron el lugar antes de ser destruido. Se puntualiza en la manera como el entorno arquitectónico destruido puede influenciar y modificar experiencias colectivas de pertenencia. Se inicia revisando las aproximaciones recientes con las cuales los geógrafos han conceptualizado lo arquitectónico: la Teoría del Actor-Red y la teoría de los afectos, desde las cuales los edificios no son visualizados como objetos inertes sino como objetos que “hacen cosas”. Se reconoce que ambas aproximaciones no han explorado lo suficiente la experiencia corporeizada, el papel de la subjetividad humana ni de los recuerdos y memorias en la mediación de los afectos al contacto con arquitecturas y nohumanos del presente. Mediante el caso de estudio de un área fabril mexicana demolida, se muestra cómo los afectos de los restos materiales (atmósferas de destrucción) son intersectados por otro tipo de afecto que reúne la corporeización de encuentros pasados: el acecho. Co-habitar la post-demolición ha significado demarcar fronteras afectivas como límites mentales-corporales que les posibilita a los habitantes continuar su trabajo emocional afectivo ante el desvanecimiento de memorias y sentimientos de pertenencia.

This paper analyzes the relationship between architectural destruction and the body memory of those who inhabited the place before it was destroyed. It is focused in the way in which the destroyed architectural environment can influence and modify collective experiences of belonging. It begins by reviewing the recent approaches with which geographers have conceptualized architecture: the Actor- Network Theory and the theory of affects, from which buildings are not viewed as inert objects but as objects that “do things''.
