description | In Lisbon, during the covid-19 pandemic period, the action of urban social movements was intensified, capitalizing on the visibility of the right to housing as a basic human right and an unconditional public health imperative to fulfill the duties of quarantine and social isolation imposed by the State of Exception. Describing the process of urban struggles, participation and contestation, as well as gains from the moratorium on evictions and rent payments, we conclude that the actors in this urban struggle have limited power over the changes they initiate, or make an effort to inflict, if they are not involved in a concerted and politically integrated action, not least because the achievements they obtain are temporary and exceptional, similar to the state of emergency imposed by covid-19. |

Describing the process of urban struggles, participation and contestation, as well as gains from the moratorium on evictions and rent payments, we conclude that the actors in this urban struggle have limited power over the changes they initiate, or make an effort to inflict, if they are not involved in a concerted and politically integrated action, not least because the achievements they obtain are temporary and exceptional, similar to the state of emergency imposed by covid-19. Em Lisboa, durante o período de pandemia covid19, a ação dos movimentos sociais urbanos acirrou-se, capitalizando a visibilidade para o direito à habitação, como direito humano básico e imperativo incondicional de saúde pública, para cumprir os deveres de quarentena e isolamento social, impostos pelo Estado de Excepção. Descrevendo o processo de lutas urbanas, participação e contestação, e ganhos na moratória contra os despejos e pagamento dos alugueres, concluímos que os atores nessa luta urbana têm poder limitado sobre as mudanças que iniciam ou fazem um esforço para infligir, se não estiverem envolvidos em uma ação concertada e politicamente integrada, até porque as conquistas que obtêm são temporárias e excepcionais, à semelhança do próprio estado de emergência imposto pela covid19. 2020-12-03 2022-03-17T19:06:09Z 2022-03-17T19:06:09Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/2236-9996.2021-5008 10.1590/2236-9996.2021-5008 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53790 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/metropole/article/view/2236-9996.2021-5008/33799 Copyright (c) 2020 Luís Mendes application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Cadernos Metrópole; Vol. 23 Núm. 50 (2021): narrativas pós-neoliberais: interseções entre o extrativismo urbano e o movimento social; 203-232 Cadernos Metrópole; v. 23 n. 50 (2021): narrativas pós-neoliberais: interseções entre o extrativismo urbano e o movimento social; 203-232 2236-9996 1517-2422 |
