description This article analyzes the political practices of the residents of the favelas of Río de Janeiro through ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2010 and 2015 in the favela of Santa Marta. Politics is understood here in its broader sense as the way in which disagreements are managed and consensus is reached amongst the local population. To understand these practices means to uncover and illuminate the mechanisms that allow for the construction of the sense of what is legitimate and what is possible, as well as the channels and mechanisms for resolving local disputes. Specifically, this study examines how residents organize themselves to make demands on the State and how they interface with the State in a contemporary context marked by projects of urban renewal and the regularization of the favelas.

Este artículo analiza las prácticas políticas de los habitantes de las favelas de Río de Janeiro a partir de un trabajo de campo etnográfico realizado entre los años 2010 y 2015 en la favela Santa Marta. La política es comprendida aquí en su sentido más amplio, es decir, como el ámbito donde se gestionan los desacuerdos y se construyen los consensos por los cuales regirse colectivamente. Investigar las prácticas referidas a este espacio implica indagar los mecanismos que subyacen a la construcción del sentido de lo legítimo y lo posible, así como de los caminos para llevar adelante estas disputas. Específicamente este trabajo estudia cómo se organizan los habitantes de este territorio para llevar adelante sus reivindicaciones en un contexto marcado por los proyectos de urbanización de las favelas y qué características tiene la relación que entablan estas organizaciones con el Estado.
