Modos de vida urbanos. reflexões sobre: consumo, território,memória e história no cotidiano subalterno das cidades (caso Lemos Torres)

Abstract

The present work was the result of two years of investigative research PIBIC, 2017 to 2019, developed in the community Lemos Torres, located in the North Zone of the Metropolitan Region of Recife, in the neighborhood of Casa Forte with central axis in the discussion of housing. This material discusses the problem of the right to housing in favor of the less favored class, aiming to analyze and identify the place and impact of consumption practices on the different ways of life in the daily life of urban subaltern classes. We identified the perceptions of these subjects about their daily lives in cities, their trajectory (with emphasis onthe “determinants” related to issues of class, ethnicity, gender and generation), as well as the right to housing. The research is characterized by being exploratory and qualitative, through observation and interviews conducted during visits to the community. The results point to the complexity of the urbanization process of cities, with very different interests and demands and interaction. The access to housing refers to a path of struggle and resistance of the subjects of this history that has been goingon for several decades and culminated with the current moment captured by these different interventions with these families related to housing policy in the city of Recife.
