For several years, gaming halls have been a fundamental part of our cities. Lives roam from all social sectors and from all the urban nooks and crannies.
The bingos, the capital institution of our time, are not only explained by the economic aspects: in times of prosperity or in times of crisis, the gaming halls continue to gather crowds. One of the hypotheses in this book is that bingos operate as a highly productive therapeutic machine. The rooms are effective in regulating the moods of the bodies that suffer from the precarious city. The bingos, then, as social, existential and political devices. Strategic territories to think about the time, the political and vital junctures, the modes of integration and contemporary inclusion. Ambivalent territories -this is another of the central hypotheses of this research-, because in them it is not only possible to map the command devices over our lives, but also the unique appropriatio hat occur within them.
