| Abstract | |
We seek to interpret the urban poverty from the electricity consumption in the periphery of the metropolis. We present two ideas anchor, one of which lies in the metamorphoses of the work of small traders of the Heliópolis- SP slum, and the other issue is related forms of theft of electricity tariffs on such labor intensive activities. In this research it argues that the recent commercialization of electricity is one of the expressions of appropriation of income of the poor and the financialization of the Brazilian territory. The consumption of electric energy and the generation of employment and income reveal links between the electric circuit space and the urban economy of cities. Generally, the power supply reaches opaque spaces of the territory by introducing new paradoxes, because it generates constraints to places. This is because small businesses need to fit the power tariff, which is a strict standard among the trading banks that have no profit motivation for exchanges. In the other words, the socially necessary market so important to poor families in Heliopolis is hit by the energy price system and the social control carried out by the distribution utility. Defaults as service and fraud are brand new product that secretes an urbanization and fragmentation, due to forms of deprivation and alienation of space (AU) | |
