Summary
Processes for the collective re-appropriation of spaces, times and the material needs which
enable the reproduction of life, such as the ones involved in the sustainable production of
food, have been developed in the cities of the southern European periphery as
neoliberalisation within these spaces is strenghthening. In this paper we aim to analyze
these processes and the “everyday life struggles for the reconstruction of urban food
autonomy”, in the city of Athens. This research takes as starting point the 2008 “December”
revolts in Athens, and embrace agroecology and radical geography as analysis frameworks.
To conclude, that these struggles not only got to transform Athens socio-spatiality
integrating ruralities, but also have created new forms of social reproduction and have
recovered autonomy as forms of doing politics in the everday life.
Resumen
Introducción
En los últimos años, principalmente desde los espacios urbanos, y debido a la severa
neoliberalización del día a día en estos territorios [1, 2, 3], han surgido diversas luchas
en torno a la reproducción social. Agua, vivienda, educación, o alimentación, son
espacios de confrontación, desde los que se experimentan nuevos modelos de
organización, nuevas luchas.

Conclusiones.
El análisis de estos procesos, luchas, por la autonomía alimentaria permite hacer visible
como los movimientos sociales en la ciudad de Atenas se han re-apropriado del ámbito
de la reproducción y del cotidiano para abrir espacios de autonomía y enfrentar las
necesidades emergentes en tiempos de austeridad.
