Resumo(s)
A presente dissertação propõe estudar o processo de recriação e ressignificação social, simbólica e memorial do Bairro do Relógio, em Lisboa, analisando as estratégias utilizadas pelos antigos moradores para manter viva a memória desse bairro, demolido há quase trinta anos. O bairro foi construído na segunda metade década de 1960 de forma provisória com o objetivo inicial de realojar parte da população oriunda do vale de Alcântara na sequência da construção da Ponte sobre o Tejo e respetivas acessibilidades rodoviárias. Em 2011, o Bairro do Relógio reapareceu online e, desde então, um manancial de memórias começou a emergir e a ser partilhado, dando lugar a eventos como piqueniques e excursões até aos dias de hoje. Alicerçado em pesquisas de arquivo, etnografia online, trabalho de campo e realização de entrevistas, procurou-se escavar as memórias partilhadas e conectadas dos antigos moradores do Bairro do Relógio, compreendendo o modo como essas memórias, individuais e coletivas, se foram entrelaçando, atualizando e reorganizando no presente. Como é que um bairro sobrevive na memória dos antigos moradores após a sua demolição? Esta é a pergunta central que percorre toda a dissertação. Um dos contributos deste estudo consiste em demonstrar que as sociabilidades estabelecidas no Bairro do Relógio e, posteriormente, nas plataformas online e nos eventos presenciais, permitiram construir mecanismos de resiliência face ao processo de destruição simbólica do bairro. Tais mecanismos têm-se mostrado preponderantes numa resistência ao apagamento da memória daquele lugar. Em consequência, este trabalho permite igualmente situar um conjunto de discussões sobre o lugar dos bairros demolidos na memória oficial da cidade de Lisboa, e transportar para outras áreas metropolitanas, no âmbito de uma possível política reparadora para com os territórios e pessoas que foram deslocadas ao longo das últimas décadas.
The aim of this dissertation is to study the process of social, symbolic and memorial re-creation and re-signification of the Bairro do Relógio in Lisbon, analysing the strategies used by former residents to keep alive the memory of this neighbourhood, which was demolished almost thirty years ago. The neighbourhood was built provisionally in the second half of the 1960s, with the initial aim of rehousing part of the population of the Alcântara Valley following the construction of the Tagus Bridge and its access roads. In 2011, the Bairro do Relógio reappeared online and since then a wealth of memories have been created and shared, leading to events such as picnics and excursions that continue to this day. Through archival research, online ethnography, fieldwork and interview analysis, we sought to unearth the shared and connected memories of the former residents of Bairro do Relógio, and to understand how these memories, both individual and collective, have been intertwined, updated and reorganised in the present. How does a neighbourhood survive in the memory of its former inhabitants after its demolition? This is the central question that runs throughout this master's thesis. One of the contributions of this study is to show that the sociabilities established in Bairro do Relógio, and subsequently on online platforms and at face-to-face events, have made it possible to build mechanisms of resilience in the face of the symbolic destruction of the neighbourhood. These mechanisms have proved effective in resisting the erasure of the neighbourhood's memory. As a result, this work also makes it possible to situate a series of discussions on the place of demolished neighbourhoods in the official memory of the city of Lisbon, and to transport them to other metropolitan areas, as part of a possible reparation policy for the territories and people who have been displaced over the last few decades.
