This research embodies the occupation that birthed the Morro da Vitoria community, near the Farol Novo do Mucuripe, Fortaleza-Ce. It studies the political and social-spacial context of what happened, the practices, strategies and actions from individual and collective agents amidst the strife. It analyses the constitution of Morro da Vitoria's “political community”, in addition to its social-spacial creation, the creation of the “Comissão" and the "Barracão" and its confronting and mediating agencies alongside the State, the organization of the community and its articulation with its allies, the constitution of the association’s founding “group" (and other organizational types) and the institution of the “community leadership”. Its about a series of happenings that began early 2001, which resulted in a great land-based conflict, after the occupation of blocks in the “hill" which were destined for the construction of a housing complex, in the center of an “urbanization" project that would cause the removal of families in the nearby beach areas to the hilltop, around the lighthouse. With that, there’s an intense process of transformations and spacial creation, of social relations and political legitimacies. In the context of social-spacial conflicts in the in the researched region, there’s a peculiarity: why is it that in the case of the Morro da Vitoria, besides occupying, did people decide to resist the eviction attempts? Keeping in mind that the occupations in the region characterized themselves much more as discreet resistance practices and that when there’s a repressive reaction the occupants come out without much resistance or see it fail, why did they decide to resist and how did they manage to win? To understand such a phenomenon, the research mobilizes sociological theories about the practices and strategies, individual agency and collective action, in addition to analyzing the emergency of the strife’s moral dimension by acknowledgement. Such theoretical collections speak to narratives taken through a relational and affective research where, besides the testimonies, looks for impressions, analysis and notions of the agents involved from years of coexistence and the making of the in-depth interviews, in an anthropological approach of the politics in which the “natives”, besides informing, participate in the theorizing process when it comes to the happenings, the agents and the involved institutions.
