They want to take me away from my home! Forced evictions, popular and insurgent resistances in a contemporary city.
This research project aims to analyze how the resistance strategies of those affected by forced evictions occur, seeking to understand how these actors mobilize tools that use insurgent practices of planning in the struggle for permanence. With that said, the research aims to investigate through the analysis of three cases that occur in the city of São Paulo, motivated by different justifications and in different contexts, seeking to understand the limits and possibilities of these strategies. It is hypothesized that, by mobilizing these tools or other tactics and strategies of resistance, the actors involved, especially those affected, undergo a collective learning process that strengthens the struggle for permanence in their homes, thus focusing on in the unfolding of the process. It is hoped that the work can contribute to the strengthening of communities threatened with evictions, from the analysis and reflection of experiences that occur in the struggle for permanence and the construction of autonomy, through the democratization of territorial planning tools.
