| Gaia: | The rhythms of the postmodern era have marked the existence of fast and functional cities that operate in unstoppable flows of movement. In this context, public flow spaces such as transport stations, airports, and others have been classified as a kind of non-place. This article presents the case of the Quinta Normal subway station, which went from being a non-place to a meaningful and appropriate place through dance. By observing, capturing photographic images, and conducting seven focus groups, the information regarding the existence of attachment to the station, its significance, and the socio-spatial aspects relevant to a group of young people who dance in its interior. The results show that there is an attachment to the station and that joy and happiness are the most representative emotions related to it, which is closely influenced by the community dynamics that arise from the practice of dance in this public space. Likewise, it is revealed that the station's spatial characteristics generate an adequate locus for the practice of dance, even when this function was not planned. |
