description This article aims to discuss and explore new activisms in slums, focusing on the history, culture, and identity of such territories. We argue that, unlike the traditional urban activism commonly addressed in the literature (which focuses on demands of a material nature), the new activisms seek to add to such struggles a dispute over the narrative about the territory. We explore these manifestations in the light of debates about the conceptual transition of citizenship and intersectional identities. More specifically, we question the existence of a supposed slum-dweller identity in which hegemonic discourses and narratives about the city can be reproduced or subverted and used in the construction of insurgent urban struggles and activisms.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo debater e explorar os novos ativismos em favelas, cujo foco se posiciona na história, na cultura e na identidade desses territórios. Argumentamos aqui que, diferentemente do tradicional ativismo urbano comumente abordado na literatura (focado em demandas de natureza material), os novos ativismos buscam adicionar, a essas lutas, uma disputa pela narrativa sobre o território. Exploramos essas manifestações à luz de debates sobre a transição conceitual da cidadania e sobre identidades interseccionais. Especialmente, questionamos a existência de uma suposta identidade de favelado na qual os discursos e narrativas hegemônicas sobre a cidade, ora podem ser reproduzidos, ora podem ser subvertidos e utilizados na construção de lutas e ativismos urbanos insurgentes. 2021-05-20 2022-03-17T19:06:03Z 2022-03-17T19:06:03Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/2236-9996.2021-5110 10.1590/2236-9996.2021-5110 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53731 por eng https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/2236-9996.2021-5110/35343 https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/2236-9996.2021-5110/35344 Copyright (c) 2021 Cadernos Metrópole. application/pdf application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 23 Núm. 51 (2021): geografia do ressentimento; 677-695 Cadernos Metrópole; v. 23 n. 51 (2021): geografia do ressentimento; 677-695 2236-9996 1517-2422
