La lucha por la urbanización y el rol de la judicialización en una villa de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires

Abstract

This article discusses the process of judiciary of a shanty town located in a privileged area of the City of Buenos Aires currently in instance of redevelopment. It is the "Rodrigo Bueno", as it has been called by its inhabitants, one of the four shantu town crossed by the policy of Social and Urban Integration carried out by the Government of the City. Although the current GCBA has been promoting the redevelopment of this neighborhood in light of major urban transformations and dynamics of valorization of the area, the inhabitants' demand for the establishment and permanence in the place precede such intervention through strategies diverse as the judiciary has been. In these pages, I propose to analyze the role of judiciary in Rodrigo Bueno, during the period 2005-2015,  taking into account the network of actors deployed in the “legal field” of a situation declared conflictive, and its effects social and territorial in a disputed area of ​​the city. In this framework and from a perspective of the social sciences, we understand judiciary as one more arena in which a pre-existing social conflict is crystallized -in this case referring to territorial registration and the permanence of a (popular) social sector in the urban space- in which different actors deploy different positions (arguments and construction of the problem), according to the instances and contexts in which they are found.
