Abstract

This project is inserted into the contemporary debate on urban periphery and crime. According to the literature that sees the "criminal world", the metropolitan periphery as an arena of power struggle for legitimacy with other normative devices of these territories (the state law, morals, work, religious dogma etc..). This project aims to: i ) to characterize the ways in which this "criminal world" territorialize itself ii) the impacts of the territorialization in the local sociability. In order to accomplish these goals, I will investigate the different forms of territorialization of"criminal world" in a particular neighborhood - here called Vila Operária - so that, it will enable to ethnography how the sociability (modes of everyday interaction, attribution of meanings and forms of space perception by the locals) was built around this mapping.
