ABSTRACT
This paper argues for the occupation of public space as a prefigurative proposal of the commons opposed to urban neoliberalism. It articulates urban and political theories, based on the global cycle of protests after the 2008 crisis. The sections are: i) relations between the urban, capitalism and sociopolitical practices; ii) urban, political, and social fragmentations; iii) occupation of public space, prefiguration, and construction of the common.
