Abstract

This dissertation offers an analysis on activist groups and seeks to understand how they act in public spaces of the city of São Paulo and how the authorities are engaging with these new social actors. For this, the research traces the emergence and development of these groups and analyzes two current activist groups: the \"Ocupe & Abrace\" (occupy and embrace), who fights for the preservation of the Nascente Square, and the \"Organismo Parque Augusta\" (Park Augusta Organism), who defends the full recognition of the Augusta Park. Hence, the essay reflects over the urban activist movement and how it can contribute to the debate on contemporary cities. (AU)
