Abstract

The article addresses the study of urban conflicts from the perspective of the neighborhood as a depository space for shared meanings. It provides a qualitative analyses of the spaces looking at their triple dimension: material, symbolic and imaginary. Specifically, the discussion develops the importance of identity as a preconstitutive element for the deployment of “barrionalismo” as an emerging political practice in neighborhoods with vulnerable socio-economic characteristics. The neighborhood space becomes relevant as a product of globalizing tensions, a space for community re-construction, and at the same time it is the result of international geopolitics change, making it a fundamental new global agent for cities. With this approach we qualitatively analyze 3 neighborhoods in Madrid Region.
