Danos colaterais nas cidades neoliberais: reflexões a partir do rompimento da barragem do Córrego do Feijão em Brumadinho/MG/Brasil

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the collateral demage resulting from a neoliberal city model, using as an example the rupture of the Córrego do Feijão dam in Brumadinho/MG/Brazil. The article seeks to relate the recent socio-spatial processes guided by neoliberal ideas, wich have been inducing territorial reordering, privatization and withdrawal of the State from is regulatory functions, with the ideas of development and collateral damage. In this context, the importance of reaffirming the idea of the right to the city, linked to citizenship and autonomy, is discussed and it is inferred that there would be no alternatives to the imposed neoliberal model that not pass through conflicts and colletive manifestations, understanding that citizenship is conflict and that it is necessay to give visibility to those who are predestined to be collateral victims. The ideas are illustrated with case of the rupture of the Córrego do Feijão dam in Brumadinho/MG/Brazil.
