Abstract

We raise the question of the multitude as a social subject from the practices of resistance that are happening during the occupations of public spaces, more specifically we want to analyze how the occupation model has been transformed in relation to the centrality of the city. We take as reference the camping in the squares by global movements as #occupy. We deal with conflicts generated by these spaces, in its definition of public, and its relationship with the emotions that inhabit these everyday and resistance scenarios.
