Abstract

This article analyses the process of gentrification and the practices of preservation of cultural heritage in the old Bairro do Recife (Recife Quarter), in Pernambuco, Brazil. The central argument of the article is that the uses and the counter- uses of the gentrification spaces create fissures and socio- spatial demarcations in urban landscape and as they make these spaces centers of practical and symbolic disputes for political acknowledgment and for the public visibility of differences.
