Okupar, resistir, insistir : uma etnografia das práticas de ocupação urbana Fortaleza / Ceará

The objective of this dissertation is understand the relationships built between subjects who occupy buildings in a state of abandonment to revitalize them - called okupas, noting which individuals construct such meanings on the practice of occupation and how to organize the construction and maintenance of a collective life project. Having the Okupa Squat Torém, located in the neighborhood of Fatima in the southern city of Fortaleza-CE, as locus and observed through the ethnographic method, followed the social practices of urban segment. I invested in a data collection revealed that the custom of okupas and their domestic habits, inside and outside of okupa, emphasizing the interaction situations, like most appropriate occasions to observe the constant negotiation and refinement of his cunning to intervene in the city . Among the objectives of this research, the main thing is to observe which senses are assigned to the practice of the occupation by okupas. For this, reflecting from the specifics of this urban phenomenon and talking mostly with the tradition of research in the field of anthropology, I tried to address some issues regarding the practice of okupação and organization of the group, which the principles and movements that make these contacts with city etc. The appropriation made by the subjects on the urban space here means understanding them as a cultural expression of a number of collective values, resulting from experience and perception of okupas like themselves. The intention is to show how this practice intervention and collective action has appeared in contemporary times and how my ethnography can contribute to a dialogue on the practices of mobilization and update of the city, considering the Theory of Recognition Axel Honneth (2003) as an analytical category useful to describe the forms of reciprocity experienced by okupas

Entre o pavilhão e o inferno: trajetória dos meninos infratores no CEDUC Pitimbu

Cet étude est une recherche sur les significations imaginaires de la violence pratiquée par des jeunes délinquants ou à laquelle ils sont soumis, dans la condition de confinés chez le Centre Éducationnel CEDUC/PITIMBU, lieu où l investigation a été faite. Dans la mésure où le sujet de la violence se présente plein de manifestations, nous proposons ici une réflexion sur l imaginaire de la production théorique sur la question et en même temps nous nous proposons identifier jusqu à quel point les diverses visions scientifiques établient un savoir qui finit par limiter une conception plus complexe et profonde des réseaux de la violence. Le parcours théorique et méthodologique realisé nous a permis concluire que certaines interventions finissent par renforcer des situations limites vécues à l intèrieur du Centre par les jeunes déliquants. Parmi d autres aspects, nous traitons de l espace de l institution, leurs objectifs, routines, aussi bien que sur les principaux expressions de la violence qu apparaissent dans les récits des jeunes. Nous traitons de leurs origines socioculturelles, en signalant les milieux d oú ils viennent et leur vie quotidienne. Ainsi, nous traitons d analyser les éléments de la culture constituée, les valeurs, la « loi de plus fort », le pouvoir, le courage, la peur, l astuce, la sagesse et les rêves. Nous remarquons aussi la notion de « destin » qui renvoie à l idée que le crime et la mort sont inéluctables. Nous nous occupons de réfléchir sur le rôle de l institution dans le renforcement de la violence et dans la reproduction de valeurs sociales. Dans cet étude, nous utilisons l analyse des trajectoires de vie des jeunes délinquants pour comprendre la réalité de la violence à laquelle ils sont soumis
