Izidora in 3 acts: the land conflict, the popular struggle, the symbolic imaginary of the promised land

Abstract

The objective of this article is to constitute a plot that narrates different dimensions of Izidora’s struggle, showing the dystopia of a hegemonic city production from the land conflict, the heterotopias that emerge from the popular struggle and the utopia of the promised land. Based on the understanding of its various representations, we sought to build three acts that tie the land conflict in the Izidora region: it begins with the historical context and the presentation of the conflict itself; then, the popular struggle and its revolutionary subjects stand out; finally, it points to the reverie of the imaginary of the promised land. The research was built from bibliographic research, field research and interviews with occupation residents. It is evident that these territories only exist and are transformed due to the many hands, bodies and dreams of revolutionary subjects, who from their relations of cooperation and conflict, produce their houses, their neighborhoods, their cities, their utopias.
