Ocupações urbanas e territorialidade como insurgência do comum: estudo exploratório em Araguaína, Tocantins

Abstract

Urban occupations for housing purposes emerge as reactions to the model of socio-spatial segregation imposed by the real estate market and state urban rules. Our field of study is located in two of these occupations, Jardim Deus é Fiel andAlto Bonito, both in Araguaína, Tocantins. Under the action-research methodology, we investigate self-management and the autonomy of communities as an experience of the common, an alternative to the State and the market. Animated by the work of Dardot andLaval and Hardt and Negri, we think about the common between the political and the biopolitical. We conclude by discussing occupations as territories and seeking theoretical relationships between the urban commons and territoriality.
