Les condominios brésiliens : des territoires politiques sans peuple
Changes in contemporary society, and globalization in particular, have led to cultural homogenization and the weakening of membership groups. The reaction to these phenomena is an increase in various forms of communities (ethnic, religious, residential, etc.) where individuals seek new identities. If socio-spatial segregation in the form of common-interest housing is a response to this desire for withdrawal and to a need to assert identity, these homogeneous urban spaces could be seen to be part of a process of ‘communalization’, as defined by Weber, and a form of territorialization of social relationships, at a time when it is more often phenomena of deterritorialization that are evoked. To some extent at least, the Brazilian condominios seem to correspond to this notion of withdrawal, and it is interesting to study the relationships which develop both within their walls and with society as a whole, looking also at whether they constitute political territories and hence represent a form of secession from the state.
