Abstract The objective of the research is to investigate the graffiti assimilation mechanisms in the field of legitimate art through the speech of the paulista's press. When it comes to assimilation, we have considered a passage that takes place between a space (symbolic or physical) and other space. Characteristically, this passage takes place in two ways: we can talk about graffiti legitimation, ie we assume the co-option of this practice by the recognized art world, or we can talk about artfication, mechanism that describes the flexibility of boundaries that limited the art world. It follows that the configuration of contemporary artistic field is the product of a symbolic struggle that mobilizes different actors, with different interests, and positioned at asymmetric places in the social space (BOURDIEU, 2014), that is, what matters here is to understand which individuals and institutions have the symbolic power to transmute an simple object in a recognized artistic work. To investigate the graffiti assimilation mechanisms, we will use the reports, opinion articles, criticism, and chronicles that are published daily in the newspapers "O Estado de São Paulo" and "Folha de São Paulo". We opted for a methodological research design that raises both quantitative and qualitative data, in what the literature has called mixed methods. For the quantitative part, we will have a sample design: we select a random sample and then we estimate the values of the population from that selection. Data analysis and statistics descriptions will be made from SPSS. For the qualitative part of the research we will do an in-depth analysis of the texts, so that we can identify argumentative patterns that evoke the graffiti assimilation mechanisms. | |
