VIEGAS, Sílvia Leiria. Access to housing by all and for all? Today's paradigms and paradoxes in Portugal. Forum Sociológico [online]. 2019, n.34, pp.71-80.  Epub 04-Ago-2021. ISSN 0872-8380.  https://doi.org/10.4000/sociologico.4864.

The article deals with the access to adequate housing in Portugal at the present time, by middle and low income populations, of diverse cultural and/or ethnic origins, taking into account the ongoing transformation of the urban society. I aim to systematise the dominant housing paradigms and their excluding impacts, together with local resistances and, at the same time, to recognise inclusion-exclusion paradoxes intrinsic to the forging of new governmental socio-spatial and housing experiments. To that end, I turn to the structuring thoughts of theoretical authors such as Foucault, Žižek, Lefebvre and Harvey, and their key ideas of governamentality, multicultural tolerance, and the right to the city. To conclude, I point out the contradictions of the dominant neo-liberal system, simultaneously forming exclusion and hope.

Palabras clave : access to housing; governamentality; multicultural tolerance; right to the City.
