• Resumen

  • This doctoral thesis studies class-based social movements as a response to the collapse of the Spanish mode of capital accumulation, based on the financialization of housing and the extraction of rents. It argues that the organization of experiences of exploitation and struggle versus the dominant classes, together with the experience of those forms of organization are the key to class subjectivation and emancipatory politics. The thesis treats finance capital and its relation with state power as fundamental in laying out the conditions for the formation of the real-estate bubble, understood as the first installment of a state-backed class struggle process launched by the hegemonic fractions of the political and economic elites. This systemic extension of exploitative dynamics to the housing sector set in motion the organization of the subaltern classes’ resistance, mainly through the PAH1 and the PAHC2. The evolution of their conflict, and the changes in the movement’s context, organization and composition, fostered (and later hindered) the kind of class subjectivation processes which are deemed essential for the formation of a hegemonic challenge to capital.
