Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon: from the production of space to urban engagements
The presentation focuses on the relation between the production of urban precariousness and forms of local engagements in the Palestinian refugee camps of #Beirut. Local urban conflicts have been previously studied, mostly one taking place in Shatila camp in 2004-2005 and another in Nahr el Bared after the camp’s destruction in 2007, and the aim of the study was to investigate these conflicts more systematically. The actors observed were mostly local networks of dwellers as well as NGOs and associations which engage in actions of self-help as well as some forms of contention. The presentation relies on a framework which posits a continuity between the social and the spatial, and is inscribed in social movement studies.
