Condiciones sociales de vida y autorreflexividad en el movimiento de okupación

Abstract

In this text we introduce several empirical answers to main problems in social movements theory. The squatter movement in Spain is analyzed from a qualitative approach (focused interviews, participant observation, documents and debates inside the movement...). Working class origins, light differences between genres, organization of domestic time and the self-critical discourses about the own self-management experienced by members of the movement, are studied here in order to understand the political sense of this urban actions and their limits and contradictions.
