Sažetak
This chapter presents the results of an ethnographic case study of squatting in Zagreb, which is centred on the example of the BEK social centre. BEK was founded in early 2018 as a platform for various social, cultural, and artistic content, with the purpose of generating an innovative socio- cultural climate that could holistically develop the local community. We focused our research on analysing forms of organisation, activities and motivations of actors within squats. There are several different aspects to our ethnographic work, starting with the phenomenon of squatting. This chapter will discuss different types of squats and patterns of motivation for this type of housing. We also consider specific perceptions of culture, interculturality and the attitudes of respondents towards “others”. A further focus of the research was related to the term “urban struggle”, in the context of the occupation of a certain urban locality and different types of activities that take place in newly constructed spaces. Through such an approach, our goal is to investigate the practices of young people regarding activism and participatory models in urban space, and also contribute to the theoretical research discussion of various forms of organising squats or social centres. We also aim to explore cultural patterns contained within the constit-uent elements of young people’s identities. This ethnographic case study is based on eight months of fieldwork, research diaries, and interviews with 13 respondents.
