Locais de cidadania, experiências de cidadanização: pesquisa etnográfica em relação ao direito à moradia na cidade de Buenos Aires

Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze of rights creation processes that are recorded in two urban and resi­dential areas of the City of Buenos Aires distinguishable, among other aspects, by their historical contexts of emergence and forms of construction, by their building typologies and types of settlement: on the one hand, a housing set resulting from a state production process of social hou­sing (Conjunto Urbano Soldati, located in the neighborhood of Villa Soldati); on the other hand, a settlement that is the product of a social or popular process of habitat production (Settlement La Carbonilla, in the neighborhood of La Paternal in Bue­nos Aires). Our purpose is to advance in a comparative analysis of citizen formation processes related to the acquisition of the right to housing, through the study of the native practices and experiences of mate­rialities and concrete meanings that invol­ve localized subjects. For this, we resort to an ethnographic fieldwork built around observation/participation activities and in­-depth interviews with residents of the two mentioned areas and to the systematiza­tion of secondary documentary sources.
