ABSTRACT

Several non-profit cultural organisations opened up public spaces during the financial crisis in Lisbon with a particular concentration in the Anjos neighbourhood. These organisations promote different activities, ranging from debates, exibitions, traditional dancing, activist cinema to bars. This article aims to convey the transformative role they played for individuals, the neighbourhood and the city. Although facing challenges over organisational sustainability as they are not publicly funded, these organisations do seem to have reinvented the mission of the century-old recreational societies through their convivial and transdisciplinary activities. Based on documental analysis and interviews with different actors, we map this vibrant neighbourhood and show that these hybrid organisations represent what cultural democracy may today look like, while providing resilient responses to the contextual challenges.

摘要

在里斯本发生金融危机期间，一些非营利性文化组织开放了公共场所，尤其集中在安霍斯（Anjos）社区。这些组织提倡各种活动，从辩论，展览，传统舞蹈，激进主义电影到酒吧。本文旨在传达他们在个人，社区和城市中所扮演的变革性角色。尽管由于没有公共资金而面临着组织可持续性方面的挑战，但这些组织似乎确实通过其令人愉悦的和跨学科的活动重塑了有着百年历史的娱乐社会的使命。根据文献分析和对不同参与者的采访，我们绘制了这个充满活力的社区，并表明这些混合组织代表着今天的文化民主，
