ESTEVENS, Ana; COCOLA-GANT, Agustín; CALVO, Daniel Malet  and  MATOS, Filipe. The arts and culture in hegemonic and alternative practices in the city of Lisbon. The case of Largo do Intendente. Forum Sociológico [online]. 2019, n.35, pp.9-17.  Epub July 28, 2021. ISSN 0872-8380.  https://doi.org/10.4000/sociologico.7826.

Arts, culture and creativity are currently sold as a symbol of status and have become part of hegemonic narratives and practices related to regeneration processes. In this article, we examine the contradictions and tensions between the implementation of urban regeneration public policies and the emergence of cultural and artistic alternative spaces, using as case study the Intendente Square. Using a critical perspective and cross methods (interviews, observation and ethnographic record), we analyzed the role of arts and culture in the gentrification process promoted by public policies. In a time of rapid change, where the same models are used in several cities around the world, it is important to follow and understand the way these processes manifest themselves in Lisbon.

Keywords : arts; culture; urban regeneration; Lisbon.
