Abstract (EN): Urban commons in Lisbon: forms of non-commodified work in alternative spaces u Returning to the principles that work is not inherently a commodity and that common resources are also the consequence of political practice, this article analyzes four communitarian spaces in the city of Lisbon with the aim of understanding the commons in an urban context. Based on semi-structured interviews with participants and activists of these projects and, complementarily, participant observation, we analyzed their motivations and the conditions in which they carried out their work. The results highlight the centrality of the idea of community and the individual and social fulfilment of the participants in the spaces studied. © 2023, Centro em Rede de Investigacao em Antropologia.
