RESUMO

This dissertation proposes a reflection about the low-income housing in the city of São Paulo, considering two experiences located in the Belenzinho neighborhood: the Vila Maria Zélia (a workers village from the beginning of the 20th century) and the Mutirão do Casarão (collaborative self building village constructed in the 1990´s by tenement house inhabitants participating in the housing movement). If, on the one hand, these are similar experiences located in the most run-down areas of the same neighborhood, spatially confined, aiming at guaranteeing control over their territory, fighting for the preservation and restoration of their memory spaces ? on the other hand, they present several differences the spaces were produced by actors on opposing sides of the productive chain (the industrialist and the workers), the images built upon the space are different, as well as their relations to the neighborhood. In order to visualize the mechanisms that maintain the two social groups apart in space, we took advantage of the understanding of the urban segregation concept, and also of the processes that triggered this separation in the neighborhood, by means of the recomposition of the inhabitant?s memories. The individual and the collective histories were then woven together, making it possible for us to see that neighborhood from multiple points of view. The comprehension of the places each group belonged in was fundamental in the analysis of the separation between the social classes, as was the visualizing of how the relationships that developed there got organized around the concept of established-outsiders, although these were not fixed roles.
