Paulo Granjo (ICS, ULisboa)
Study of the various political, social, economic, cultural, and symbolic interactions, as well as the tensions and negotiations, between Cova da Moura and its surrounding metropolitan area in order to learn how do they contribute for the neighborhood's assumed closure, and how do they contribute to the representations held by those who inhabit it as by outsiders.
