Right to the city in play territory

narrating beginnings, articulating pieces of ground

Abstract

This article begins with an encounter: one that arises between a university campus comprised mostly of women researchers from the Urban Disutilities Research Group (UFF-VR), who address the problematic of urban policies as policies of subjectivation from an intersectional perspective, and the ground of the Dom Waldyr Calheiros occupation, sustained by the knowledge and courage of women-leaders-mothers alongside the dreams and playful energy of artistic and crafty children, creators of culture. An encounter that arises from the daily reality and urgency of the struggle for housing and dignity in the city. Based on a policy of narrative writing by diverse voices that sometimes distinguish themselves, sometimes blend, and guided by the aesthetics of the fragment in Benjaminian montage as a method, we propose to highlight the density of the production of a common minimum as a condition of possibility for a psychology that thinks WITH territories. What can be gathered from the production of this research and extension path is the presence of an ethical-political-epistemological call for sharing the margin and decentering places of knowledge production.
