TAMAYO, Sergio. Espacios de ciudadanía, espacios de conflicto. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2006, vol.21, n.61, pp.11-40. ISSN 2007-8358.

The question the author asks in this article is: How do practices of citizenship transform and historically influence cultural ideas and forms of social organization? What is more: How do they do this through the action of strategic actors like the state, businessmen and social movements, in a semi-peripheral country like Mexico, which is entering swiftly and violently into a new model of development? The answer situates the organized citizenry as the new collective subjects who transform and influence society through the constitution of civic spaces. These are defined as a field of conflict that testifies, sometimes dramatically, to the resistance to domination, inequality and injustice. It is the real and metaphorical political space where social struggle is situated today.

Palavras-chave : citizenship; public space; appropriation of space; civic practices; social conflict.
