URIARTE, Urpi Montoya. With and without neighbors: ways of inhabiting alleys and courtyards in the centers of Salvador and Lisbon. Etnográfica [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.3, pp.603-628. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.8004.

This article aims to reflect on the relationship between constructed space and living practices, based on the ethnographic material produced in two micro-locations: the Camponesa alley and the pátio do Broas, located in downtown Salvador and Lisbon, respectively. Although these spaces share a similar history, are places of residence of popular segments and exhibit very similar physical forms, they present different ways of living. The empirical data produced in the alley and courtyard analyzed allow us to affirm that neither the places generate ways of inhabiting nor the constructed space engenders a specific content. The practices of living with neighbors derive from other factors, among which we highlight the free time resulting from the work regime of its inhabitants, the property ownership and the conception of house.

Keywords : dwelling; alleys; courtyard; center; Salvador; Lisbon.
