Abstract

This research has as it object the formation of the concept of urban periphery in brazilian Geography along the 80\'s. For that aim, are valued as filters, the structural functionality assigned to the peripheric reality and the discussion about the centrality of the distance as a defining element of the urban periphery. This is tought as has been a reference with the movement of disciplinary review inside of Geography that happened in the 70\'s and, in the brazilian context, was followed by the improvement of marxist studies and by the concern in the production of a knowledge socially committed. Another valued aspect in our dissertation is the dialogue between urban Geography with another social sciences, in special with Economy, with Sociology and the Urbanism, in the formulation of your researches about urban periphery. These sciences started their studies about this realities in a moment before the Geography, been important references to the studies made by the geographers. In this pathway we search point the denial of the ecologic perspective of periphery and the ascention of explications supported in social totality, that are organised into two interpretative proposals. In one of they, are valorised the periphery as long the place of the reproduction of the workforce; in the other, the urban periphery is seen by the perspective of the consumption and the production of space. To reach this goal, we used as research sources theses and dissertation presented in Geography graduation programs in Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and in the University of São Paulo, choosen by the centrality of this universities in the nacional academic production. The potentiality of working with theses and dissertations is founded in the fact that these sources was empiric, that allow us to think about the application of models to understand the studied realities.
