No PerĆodo Moderno o conceito de cidadania era caracterizado por dois aspectos distintivos: i) era definido Ć escala e imagem do Estado-nação; e ii) era entendido como um estatuto legal, composto por um conjunto de direitos e deveres. Esta definição nacional e legal Ć© ainda hoje a base da cidadania contemporĆ¢nea. No entanto, a forma como nos percepcionamos enquanto cidadĆ£os e as prĆ”ticas da nossa participação jĆ” nĆ£o se limitam exclusivamente Ć s fronteiras nacionais, nem aos direitos e deveres previstos pela Lei. Hoje, a cidadania Ć© cada vez mais experienciada em diferentes espaƧos, entre os quais a cidade assume um lugar de destaque, e Ć© exercida de diferentes formas, muitas vezes atravĆ©s de caminhos e ferramentas de participação que, apesar de nĆ£o serem de natureza marcadamente polĆtica, tĆŖm consequĆŖncias polĆticas (cf. Clark e Silva, 2009). Estas diferentes formas de participar, reflexo das novas relaƧƵes globalizadas, apontam para um novo entendimento do mundo assente na sua organização cultural. Trata-se de um novo paradigma: Ā«o paradigma culturalĀ», nas palavras de Alain Touraine (2005), onde a cultura se evidencia como uma forma colectiva de dar sentido, participar e negociar a realidade. Para uma melhor compreensĆ£o destes processos alternativos de participação nas cidades contemporĆ¢neas, a presente dissertação propƵe desenvolver uma metodologia transdisciplinar e reflexiva, aliando a uma reflexĆ£o teórica, uma reflexĆ£o empĆrica localizada no bairro do Castelo, em Lisboa: um bairro que vive diariamente a tensĆ£o entre o local e o global ā quer em relação Ć cidade de Lisboa, quer em relação ao mundo ā e que atravĆ©s de iniciativas cidadĆ£s e locais tem procurado preservar e recriar a sua identidade. No seu todo, estas iniciativas, ao nĆvel dos espaƧos, das prĆ”ticas e dos sujeitos, recordam ainda o Ā«direito Ć cidadeĀ» de Henri Lefebvre (2012 [1968]), entendido como o direito a participar e decidir sobre os espaƧos que habitamos colectivamente.
In the Modern Period, two distinctive aspects defined the citizenship status: i) its scope was based on the nation-state and ii) it was a legal status, with rights and duties. This definition, national and legal, is still at the basis of contemporary citizenship. However, the way we see ourselves as citizens, and the practices of our own participation in society are no longer confined to these national limits, or to the repertoire of formal rights and obligations. Today, participation is performed in various ways reaching new political, social, cultural or economical outcomes, through political or non-political paths and tools (cf. Clark and Silva, 2009). These different forms of participation, mirror of new global relations, point to a new understanding of the world based on its cultural organization. It is a new paradigm: Ā«the cultural paradigmĀ», in Alain Touraineās words (2005), where culture is a collective way of meaning, participating and negotiating the reality. To better understand these new processes of civic and cultural engagement in contemporary cities, this research project relies on a transdisciplinary approach that combines theoretical reflection together with the empirical experience in the Castle neighbourhood ā a highly historical and touristic small district of Lisbon which has been trying, through several civic, communal, cultural and local initiatives, to preserve and recreate its own local identity and its Ā«right to the cityĀ» (Lefebvre, 2012 [1968]): the right to participate and decide about the spaces where we live collectively.
