Abstract
The present research is guided by two core concerns, on the one hand, the questions about how a certain space that appears a vacant/abandoned is reconstructed through occupation into a particular community setting, a space of political action, of territorial resistance, and a space of politicization of everyday activities. On the other hand, the concern about how the audiovisual records become a device that participates in the reconstruction of what has been observed in the fieldwork. Hence, the present thesis describes and explores the modes of making homes in the “Centro Social Okupado Can Masdeu” in Barcelona from 2002 to 2009 from a perspective that integrates three interrelated dimensions, to wit; 1) ethnographic exploration film productions, 2) reflections based on the fieldwork observations, and 3) the political potential of the images (photographic records). Considering the context of political activism in which this mode of action is developed, there are diverse mechanisms that are deployed by the political power and the hegemonic media to delegitimate and criminalize these practices. The process of stigmatization of the Can Masdeu inhabitants (in public discourse) has led them to develop forms of social activism to make visible, resist and defend their territory-home. Within this framework, audiovisual anthropology, reflective/collaborative work between the researcher and the inhabitants-activists in this space, and the image of their political potential, are considered in this thesis as the object/device of a three-pronged analysis, focusing on the forms in which we can restore the legitimacy of practices of territorial resistance, and they intend to make visible a political action that cements social transformations in the direction of new ways of inhabiting urban spaces. Furthermore, the visibilization of these processes consolidates bonds between new social movements and civil society for the denunciation of the policies implemented to grant access to housing.
In the present thesis, I intend to establish connections between audiovisual theory and methodology as a vital source of political action in the processes of social emancipation, and at the same time, to demonstrate how the methodology of anthropological exploration cinema consolidates the production process as a scientific practice.
