SUMMARY:

In the face of neoliberalism, the outbreak of new conflicts and disputes of forces in the midst of privatizations, destruction and spoliations of goods and resources, the commons reappear as a tactical political instrument against private property and its appropriations, while maintaining its potentiality as an element of survival of the popular classes amid the coercions made by capitalism. São João del-Rei, a large city in the micro-region of which it is a part, presents in its historical process of urbanization the capitalist logic of production of urban space which, in the context of neoliberalism, expands socio-spatial segregation, accumulation by dispossession and the enclosure of urban commons. The production of an urban space focused on capitalist economic development has been increasing since the end of the 19th century due to the arrival of the railway, the first industries and the development of trade. However, in the last decades, the neoliberal urbanization has potentialized the process towards the accumulation of capital at the expense of the working-class living conditions. In the meantime, water, as an urban common goes through enclosures and appropriations at the local level, in addition to being under the regulation of the new legislation for sanitation approved in Brazil in 2020, which presents instruments for the privatization of water in the country. Therefore, this dissertation proposes to understand the historical geography of socio-spatial productions, conflicts, appropriations and enclosures on common urban waters in São João del-Rei, from the Critical Urban Geography perspective, the Marxist-Leninist point of view and the Lefebvre theory on urban space.
