Inhabiting the Revolution: Perspectives on social transformations and spatial production from the squatted houses of Amendoeiras neighbourhood, in Lisbon
Description

The Amendoeiras neighbourhood in Lisbon, also known as Chelas Zone I, was subject to extensive squatting in the wake of the 1974 revolution, whose occupants completed its construction. This territory thus provides a unique lens to analyse personal and collective agency and citizen participation in the revolution context, including the specific role played by women. Understanding the economic, political and social dynamics of these 50 years of life in democracy from the perspective of homes and their squatters is doubly significant: i) as a target of collective action that illustrates the spirit of the revolution, homes are a privileged material, historical and symbolic archive to analyse the socioeconomic changes that took place in society; ii) as elements of connection to the neighbourhood and the urban territory, homes are also key elements to frame the political, societal, generational and gender participation of individuals.
