PETIT, Lucrecia  y  MUNTO, Alejandro. Housing access and territorial rights. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.261-268. ISSN 1851-1686.

This paper aims to studying the current conditions of access to housing in marginalized social sectors and some of the psychosocial effects on the affected population, through the analysis of two specific cases that the authors have investigated in depth: a self-managed housing cooperative in the city of Buenos Aires, and an aboriginal community in the province of Chubut. The problem is introduced through the consideration of two cases that gained mediatic notoriety in 2010, and some conceptual contributions around the notions of territory and community organization are discussed. From the analysis of these cases, it is concluded on the one hand the severity of the abuses committed against the housing rights of the lower classes and indigenous communities, as well as the resilience potential that they possess through their growing organization.

Palabras clave : Housing; Territory; Aboriginal communities; Organization; Self-management.
