Do bairro Malanga à Tchumene II: vivência do espaço e dinâmica das relações sociais

Abstract

In this work, I analyzed the meanings attributed to the spaces between people who moved from the Malanga neighborhood, city of Maputo to Tchumene II. I adopted approaches that emphasize social relationships, where people's practices and actions introduce other points of view on the dynamics of the city, such as the way people use and appropriate each of the modalities of spatial relationships. I adopted the hypothesis that, the people who went to build their houses in Tchumene II try to get information and learn the habits, rules and customs through the interactions that they establish in their daily lives in a process of redefining their role in society To this end, I described the characterization of the neighborhood Malanga and Tchumene II; I traced the trajectory of people; I described the social relations established between displaced people and those who already live in Tchumene to understand the representations built about resettlement. Semi-structured interviews and informal conversations were taken as basic techniques for data collection. The data allow to affirm that, the social relations of the resettled people demonstrate the continuity of a way of life in constant articulation with the city of Maputo, it becomes distinguishable due to the combination of different activities that are part of their lives, thus making continuous history of social identity.
