Resumo(s)
Retail gentrification is gaining relevance to study the
transformation of several urban districts. In this article we explore
the connections between this process and the appropriation and
use of the elements of authenticity of a given urban district.
Drawing upon the production standpoint, we based our research
on the objective, constructivist and existential perspective of the
concept of authenticity. We developed fieldwork on Mouraria, a
traditional neighbourhood of Lisbon city centre, affected by
gentrification as a consequence of a strong growth of tourism in
the last decade. Information was collected about the size and
evolution of the commercial fabric and business owners were
interviewed. Its treatment allows to gather three set of elements
that were considered as representative of the authenticity of
Mouraria: community values, multiculturality and urban features.
The way retail spaces use these elements is diverse and
intertwined with the different perspectives of authenticity and,
on the part of business owners, arises as a management practice.
Although Mouraria can be currently placed within an early stage
of retail gentrification, the current pace of retail change and
gentrification occurring in the neighbourhood may led to a wider
replacement of the commercial fabric with detrimental
consequences for local residents.
