Os sem-teto na trama da cidade contemporânea: movimento MSTS e trabalho na ocupação Atlantic Beach, em Salvador - Bahia

Abstract

The study points to the homeless phenomenon as something historically sedimented through the “plot” that surrounds it, located, within the scope of its problem, in the lack of access to land property and/or formally commodified housing, for poor people, since the beginnings of Brazil. At the same time, it is identified that Brazilian housing policies were unsatisfactory in terms of definitively overcoming the housing deficit and inequalities in housing and housing - despite advances. Faced with the unavoidable experience of homeless social movements like the one we present here, poor people are still impelled to resolve their adversities in the area of housing and housing through their own devices: they play with the laws and refuse to give up amidst the structures of access to housing orchestrated by capital and the State.
