This article was collaboratively written by individuals who lived alongside and followed the paths of Marina Harkot, a researcher whose life was brutally taken away on November 8, 2020, in a hit-and-run incident as she was returning home on her bicycle in São Paulo. Throughout her 28 years of life, Marina assumed various roles and contributed to urban planning research as a sociologist, cyclist, and activist. She was engaged in topics such as gender and mobility throughout her journey. In this article, we revisit her research trajectories through three central axes: (1) from mobility to subjectivity; (2) intersectionality as an approach; and (3) entwined territorialities with affections. These three axes point to Marina's perspective and her recognition that subjectivities matter in urban thinking, as well as the expression of identities and bodily experiences. This expands the conventional view of fear associated with cities, opening space for the consideration of the multiplicity of emotions that enable the (re)existence of territories marked by discrimination and oppression in the metropolis.
