“(Semi)-hidden and Manifest Transcripts in Forms of Living and Residing: The ‘Social Housing’ Neighbourhood in Andorinhas, Braga-Portugal”, recente publicação internacional de coautoria de Manuel Carlos Silva

“This paper discusses the results of a research developed at Andorinhas neighbourhood, created in the early 1980’s in Braga. It is based on quantitative and qualitative data resulting from the application of a survey, semi-structured interviews and life narratives. This plural methodology allowed for the analyses of the objective living conditions, habits and ways of life, relationships and representations not only between various groups of the community, as well as the relations between the neighbourhood inhabitants and the surrounding society, including the institutions and public powers (police, court, social security, services, media and especially municipal housing company BragaHabit). The results suggest the presence not only of manifest but also (semi)hidden transcripts, both at family and community levels, but rarely in open collective actions for neighbourhood improvements”
