INTRODUCTION: This article looks at how we conceive of and pursue an alternative approach to university teaching that can acknowledge the way contemporary symbolic production is changing. METHOD: The article examines the history, from 2014 to the present day, of the university course Interdisciplinary Intervention in Urban Space, which is taught at the Universidad de la República in Montevideo. The course seeks to create common ground for people across the university, exploring the question of institutional belonging and identities associated with different disciplines and professions. RESULTS: The article reflects on the diverse use of the digital technologies from the everyday availability of diverse artefacts. It also explores a methodology that draws on what have been called “obstructions”, understood and used as a means to prompt certain kinds of actions and existing as part of the pedagogical format that structures classroom practices. DISCUSSION: The article discusses a project in teaching that addresses the idea of cultural pedagogies and allows students, collectively, to engage in symbolic production in university spaces. This engagement, which makes a critical use of current practices in artistic creation, is both collaborative and interdisciplinary.References
