Abstract
The right to the city, a concept previously associated with the struggle of social movements in the search of radical changes in the relations in the city, has recently been accepted and redefined by new actors, from governments or NGOs to UN agencies. It has entered a process of institutionalization in some international, national and local arenas. However, a new discourse around the concept, that has lost its original radicality, has become dominant in these spaces, concealing alternative and more transformative visions. The paper aims to understand the contents as well as the processes of production and institutionalization of this new discourse. For this purpose, we inspire in critical discourse analysis to approach three key texts at international, national (Brazil) and local (Salvador da Bahia) level. Moreover, we will study the local case of the Movimento dos Sem Teto da Bahia, to analyse how this process poses significant constraints (but also new potential) for resistance and for the production of an alternative and more transformative discourse. / Le droit à la ville, un concept antérieurement associé aux mouvements sociaux qui luttaient pour des changements radicaux des relations dans les villes, a été récemment accepté et redéfini par de nouveaux acteurs, tels que des gouvernements, des ONG ou des agences des Nations Unies. Le droit à la ville a commencé un processus d’institutionnalisation dans quelques espaces aux niveaux international, national et local. Cependant, le nouveau discours tenu, devenú dominant dans ces espaces, a perdu sa radicalité initiale, et oculte des visions alternatives et plus progressives. L’article se concentre sur les contenus, les processus de production et d’institutionnalisation de ce nouveau discours. Pour cela, nous nous inspirons de l’annalyse critique du discours pour nous rapprocher de 3 textes clefs au niveau mondial, national (Brésil) et local (Salvador da Bahia). De plus, nous étudions le cas local du Movimento dos Sem Teto de Bahia, pour annalyser comment ce processus présente de limites importantes (même s’il présente aussi un nouveau potentiel) pour la résistance et la production d’un discours alternatif et plus progressif.
