“…These users are usually employed as white-collar workers in the service and knowledge economy (Cameron and Coaffee, 2005). For them, choosing a neighborhood to live in permanently, to consume during a weekend escapade or to go out at night is a key feature of identity construction (in the context of contemporary urban lifestyles (Costa and Lopes, 2015 1 ;Malet Calvo, 2018). There is a close connection between demand for urban land and subjective experiences, between socio-spatial capitalization and the joyfulness of consumers that feel comfortable and self-identified in a place.…”

“…Limited research is available on the process of studentification beyond the UK, albeit there is growing recognition of this phenomenon elsewhere (Smith & Holt, 2007;Nakazawa, 2017). Over the past decade there have been studies across Europe (Garmendia et al, 2012;Boersma et al, 2013;Grabkowska & Frankowski, 2016;Fubula et al, 2017;Malet-Calvo, 2017), Australia (Davison, 2009;Fincher & Shaw, 2009) and the United States of America (Pickren, 2012;Laidley, 2014;Foote, 2017). The process of studentification has received very little attention in the global South, with exceptions of studies in China (He, 2015), Kenya (Fedha, et al, 2017) and growing research interest in South Africa (Donaldson et al, 2014;Ackermann & Visser, 2016).…”

The process of studentification has emerged as a new form of neighbourhood change in the global North over the past 16 years and often situated within broader debates on gentrification. The growth of private student housing across cities globally has been linked to the increased neoliberalisation and massification of higher education and the lack of universities to keep up with the supply of student housing. Limited scholarship, however, exists on studentification in the global South. Notwithstanding that, in South Africa there has been growing recognition of the impact of studentification on urban environments. Despite some recognition in smaller cities, studentification has been neglected in large urban contexts. Using interviews with key informants and focus groups with students, this paper explores the impact of studentification in the urban neighbourhood of Braamfontein in Johannesburg. Over the past decade and a half there has been evidence of the concentration of student geographies and the commodification of student lifestyle in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

“…Isto resultou na formação de um cluster cultural e artístico "underground" que oferece uma intensa agenda cultural dirigida para o que categorizámos de "consumidores alternativos". Em segundo lugar, é importante realçar que i) Lisboa está a experienciar um boom turístico, particularmente forte desde 2014; e que ii) este boom é crescentemente liderado por jovens visitantes, incluindo alunos do programa Erasmus, atraídos pela imagem da cidade enquanto lugar de diversão barata (Malet Calvo, 2018). Consequentemente, desde 2014, a agenda cultural alternativa produzida por estas organizações tem sido crescentemente apropriada por jovens visitantes que preferem evitar a vida noturna mainstream de Lisboa, optando por experiências e espaços de lazer mais "autênticos".…”

As artes e a cultura nas práticas hegemónicas e alternativas na cidade de Lisboa. O caso do Largo do IntendenteThe arts and culture in hegemonic and alternative practices in the city of Lisbon. ResumoA arte, a cultura e a criatividade são, atualmente, vendidas como um símbolo de status e passaram a fazer parte de narrativas e práticas hegemónicas relacionadas com processos de regeneração. Neste artigo, examinamos as contradições e as tensões entre a implementação de políticas públicas de regeneração urbana e a emergência de espaços alternativos culturais e artísticos, utilizando como estudo de caso o Largo do Intendente. Utilizando uma perspetiva crítica e métodos cruzados (entrevistas, observação e registo etnográfico), analisámos o papel das artes e da cultura no processo de gentrificação promovido pelas políticas públicas. Num momento de rápidas mudanças, onde os mesmos modelos são usados em diversas cidades por todo o mundo, importa continuar a acompanhar e a perceber o modo como na cidade de Lisboa estes processos se manifestam. AbstractArts, culture and creativity are currently sold as a symbol of status and have become part of hegemonic narratives and practices related to regeneration processes. In this article, we examine the contradictions and tensions between the implementation of urban regeneration public policies and the emergence of cultural and artistic alternative spaces, using as case study the Intendente Square. Using a critical perspective and cross methods (interviews, observation and ethnographic record), we analyzed the role of arts and culture in the gentrification process promoted by public policies. In a time of rapid change, where the same models are used in several cities around the world, it is important to follow and understand the way these processes manifest themselves in Lisbon.Os agentes do poder local têm utilizado a arte e a cultura como motores de regeneração urbana. Este não é um tópico novo e tem sido bastante explorado na literatura nacional e internacional. Apesar de este processo incutir uma nova dinâmica (económica, social e cultural) às cidades, tem, também, inerentes diversas consequências negativas que fomentam a promoção imobiliária
