This thesis will make a critical reading of the most important theories of the urban poor action in Santiago of Chile and Rio de Janeiro during the XX century. I intend to answer the question: how the social sciences contribute for the favelados and pobladores Movements construction? First, I will analyse the Marginality Theory, that I understand as the first to consider (negatively) the political potential of the marginalized. Then, I will show how Santiago and Rio de Janeiro provide a series of urban popular experiences that elicited two opposing schools of thought: the urban social movements and the utilitarian perspective of participation. Finally, I will stress how the social sciences in these countries assimilated the reaction of these sectors to each country s military dictatorship, showing how these interpretations oscillates between the requiem, the rediscovery and the denial of these movements. Urban popular struggle must be rethought in order to move beyond this theoretical ambivalence.
