Descrizione:The aim of this work is to comprehend the political sense of neighborhood narratives that are defined as epic stories, in the context of struggles for urban space and public services. The set of cases displayed include a metropolitan region (Buenos Aires) and a middle range city (in the center of the province of Buenos Aires) over a period of time ranging from the 1960s to the present. The methodological basis of the approach is the ethnography of social processes of mobilization, participation and construction of neighborhood identities. From the theory of social movements and the significational-structural urban phenomena, we study the relationship between conceptions of public and citizenship.  We do so with a critical point of view of the classical bourgeois idealistic prism and the culturalist vecinalismo. The interpretive analysis is positioned in the dialectics of the public –according to the theoretical frame of Karl Marx- and the discussion of the classical idealist position. We define this dialectics as the political alive.
