It focuses on the eviction methods used against low-income sectors living in these houses and the various illegal activities attributed to them. To shed light on these issues, I will draw upon my decade-long ethnographic research conducted with house squatters in the Abasto neighborhood between 1993 and 2003. Throughout this period I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the process of socio-urban renewal taking place in that area. I will argue that the stigmatization of different urban low-income sectors coincides with prevailing sentiments during a specific historical period. En este artículo interesa explorar algunas características significativas de las ocupaciones de inmuebles durante los años 90 en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, centralizándome en las modalidades de expulsión de los sectores populares que allí habitaban y el set de ilegalidades que les era atribuido. Retomaré además, para ese fin, una etnografía realizada con ocupantes de casas del barrio del Abasto durante una década (1993-2003), a lo largo de la cual fui testigo privilegiada del proceso de renovación sociourbano acontecido en ese territorio. He de argumentar que la estigmatización de distintos sectores populares urbanos corre en paralelo a las sensibilidades predominantes en una determinada coyuntura histórica.
