This work is anchored in the case of a squat in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, which provides empirical data and engages it in dialogue with the right to the city. The paper proposes to analyze the experience of squatting in Brazil through three different dimensions of potential tactics for transformation: political, urban, and social. It draws from the authors’ years of active engagement with the squat and the accumulated research and teaching experience in the field of informal settlements in Rio de Janeiro. The paper aims to demonstrate that squats can be both seen and used as tactics for transformation which can lead to alternative forms of i...

The teachers’ dissatisfaction with results in classroom motivated the adoption of an approach aligned with the social-historical construction of knowledge, which deals with teaching based on teachers’ and students’ backgrounds, as well as on their relations with the surrounding environment. The adopted methodology aligns with the dialectic rationale of the teaching process – knowledge is a process of transforming reality that starts with the practice (syncretism), theorizes on this practice (theorization or analysis) and returns to the practice in order to transform it (synthesis). The evaluation considers that the final product must be the result of the teaching- learning process. The partial results indicate teachers’ and students’ understanding of the advantages of this approach and its proc...

This favela is specially interesting to this study because it turned into a quarter in 1986. We intend to point out the differences that characterizes the built space, showing the exclusion that are submitted the dwellers who do not live in spaces under building legislation. This work also allows an analysis of the discussion of space in favelas, its legal questions and limitations, that can be managed by initiatives like the "Balcão de Direitos" and the "Posto of Orientação Técnica" (POT). These agencies have activities directed to the confrontation of some questions related to built space in Rocinha.
