MICHELAZZO, Cecilia  and  SALGUERO MYERS, Katrina. Capitalism, Refoundation and Conflict. The Dispute for Urban Space-time in Cordoba, Argentina. Territ. [online]. 2017, n.37, pp.17-40. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.4833.

In this article we will analyze the dynamics of the dispute that takes place for urban spacetime, in the city of Cordoba, Argentina. For such a goal we will study the case of two neighborhoods that border the downtown area of the city: Alberdi and San Vicente. Tied to each other for having a similar history, holding antique buildings, and for their ethnic, social and economic diversity; these territories are currently in dispute regarding the definitions of the ways and actors that can live in them.

In the vast field of urban studies, we have placed our interest and interrogations in the ways that Cordoba has been modified by the convergence of public policies and private actions that commands space in a class separation direction.

We will analyze the processes of time and space refoundation in these neighborhoods, started by "urban developers" and corporate actors, in convergence with public policies, carrying conflicts with the inhabitants that try to defend a certain way of life in the territory.

We examine the logics of capital in peripheral cities, and the material, signifying and sensible dimensions that structure possible social experiences.

Keywords : Segregation; social class; conflict; urban order; social experiences.
