Abstract:
The Abasto is an exemplary case of dispute over the centrality in Buenos Aires, in which the projects of urban renewal aimed at the consumption of middle class and at the tourism overlap the occupation of houses by poor immigrants. This situation invites us to examine the different concepts of socio-spatial justice in conflict, using the concept of moral economy by H. P. Thompson and James Scott and the conception of social space popularized by Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey. The presentation of the case is based on the combination of a contextualization of urban and social processes developed in the sector with an ethnography that follows the case of a building occupied by immigrants. The paper concludes by warning of the risk of depoliticisation of an uncritical exaltation of daily resistance when they lack a public dimension.
