Abstract

CARVALHO, Maria João Leote de. The other side of city: children, urbanization and violence in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2013, n.72, pp.79-101. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2013722619.

How children represent the neighbourhoods where they live? This was the starting point of the first phase of a wider research focused on the analysis of children’s lives and socialization in six public housing neighbourhoods in the Lisbon Metropolitan Area, in particular about their involvement in violence and delinquency, which main results are presented in this article. In conjunction with qualitative methodologies, including visual techniques, disorders, violence and crime emerged as structural axes in children’s socialization in this context. The normalization of violence, here briefly discussed from the children’s points of view, serves to build their skills, structuring their present relations with peers and adults, and simultaneously helps and (re)constructs a permanent social dissatisfaction and reinforces stigmatization.

Keywords : children; violence; social ecology; visual methodologies.
