- Title
La ciudad de los senderos que se bifurcan (y se entrelazan): centralidades conflictivas y circuitos segregados en una ciudad intermedia de la Argentina.

- Abstract
The article analyzes the daily mobility practices of the inhabitants of three unequal residential spaces in the city of La Plata: a traditional neighborhood of middle and upper classes in the center of the city; closed upper class neighborhoods located on the Buenos Aires-La Plata axis; and an informal settlement located in the southern periphery of the city. Then, mobility is the "methodological place" to explore the city and its meanings. The article seeks to problematize the ways of understanding the processes of social and spatial fragmentation by means of the identification of "conflicting centralities" where unequal social actors converge and interact, as well as "segregated circuits" in the specific ways of connecting residence, neighborhood, work, education, and leisure. In this regard, we argue that fragmentation refers not only to separation and distance between social groups but also to the ways in which interactions are established and encounters between them are processed.
