Abstract

The purpose of this project is to portray through narratives, expressions of resistence identified in the community of Coque in Recife, Pernambuco. The community confronts different types of threats from local government, ranging from physical removal of their houses to imposition of payment to receive public services that the State do not provide to the neighborhood. Using oral history as a research methodology, we intend to introduce the complexity of resistances through the voice of residents and by constructing theories based on our field experiece at Coque. Resistances to the denial of the right to the city of those who live in this community is a complex issue. There are groups arising out of the community to provide legal and human support. On the other hand, there are individual resistances, disarticulated and lived in isolation from those who refuses to leave the territory.
