| Resumo: | [eng] In the last years we have witnessed an ever-increasing politicization of urban tourism. The questioning of the tourist industry, which has become part of the actions of several groups of citizens, has proved to be as articulated as diversified. Often, many of these protests share the proliferation of creative tactics that highlight the relation between the symbolic mediation and the resignification of public space. Through an ethnographic work, which runs between the urban centres of Barcelona and Venice, the research fits inside the increasing dynamicity of the present critique to the touristification of the city. Moreover, it analyses different forms of protest, which directly emerge from grassroot projects and aim to a socio-political change. The purpose is to contribute and problematize in a complex way to the debate on contemporary forms of claim within the touristified city. On the whole, the thesis wants to be an incursion by social sciences in the debate on overtourism. The aim is to integrate spatial, cultural and reflexive focus both on the urban collectives and the researcher that approaches such practices. |
