ABSTRACT
The article aims to present the ‘Marielle Franco’ Favelas Dictionary from a broader debate on memory as a right to the city. Therefore, we begin by mapping out the literature that deals with the right to the city and the informal city as marked by the logic of forgetting. Later, we analyze the history of favelas in Rio de Janeiro to reflect on how the meanings of memory have been disputed in these territories. We present a brief inventory of projects on memory in favelas. And, finally, we present a Dictionary as part of this trajectory of positive subjectivation of favela populations.
