Résumé:
Think the city, implies think in spatiality and temporality. Therefore, we have to keep in
mind that cities are produced in certain spaces and times historical in that the dynamics
of men in society model their contours. The city thought in this context is Campina
Grande. The present paper has the concern to make possible another look of how was
the construction process of Cachoeira slums in Campina Grande - while a
building living space, from the year 1959, construction while place meaning by its
residents and other citizens. We'll strolled through the experiences of some popular in
the city. We will tell a story of residents of Cachoeira slums, especially the way became
possible experiences in the slums and how they experienced these experiences are not
always so harmonious. We will discuss how everyday social agents of Cachoeira
claimed and fought for improving their quality of life, movement that eventually
resulted in the removal in 2006 of about 670 families of the slum into a space designed
to receive them: the Allotment Gloria, or, as it is known, Gloria District.We will discuss
how everyday social agents from Cachoeira claimed and fought for improving their
quality of life, movement that eventually resulted in the removal in 2006 of about 670
families of the slum into a space designed to receive them: the Allotment Gloria, or, as
it is known, Gloria District. To conduct our work, we used interviews with former
residents of the slums, and we used official documents and works of
historiographical imprint. I believe that as we raise questions about how think the city,
the historicity of the subject, the daily practices of the slum dwellers Cachoeira, living
conditions, social aspects of community residents, forces and interests which were
related to drafting process transition to the Gloria district, about the role or place of this
popular achievement as producers of culture and agents that militated in favor of
effective measures to improve the living conditions of the community, we contributing
to the discussions that have been held in the academic that deal with relations and social
conflict, about the everyday, on reforms urban plots and political and economic
structures are linked.
