Abstract

This thesis proposes to analyze the use of public spaces in the contemporary city, discussed from socio-spatial unfoldings processes of production and transformation of the city. This study has as its object the capital of the state of Tocantins, Palmas, a planned city, effectively occupied in the context of brazilian 1990`s. This context leads to investigate a planned capital - considering the inherent nuances to this condition -, from the project with modernist features, but embodied in a transformed social, political, economic and cultural context, influenced by the paradigms of contemporary life in its various forms, in an environment of convergence of people and cultures from all Brazil. For this, the dissertation sought to discuss contemporary subjectivities in the critical perspective that such dimensions have undergone important transformations in the forms of use and appropriation of public space, and thus of urban life. Such urban context transformed on behalf of consumption, fear and intolerant forms of affection, have supported the improvement of private and segregating ways of life. In this sense, in order to explore the Palmas case, the socio-spatial formation trajectory of the capital was investigated, of an unequal and fragmented space, and, moreover, observing the configurational and spatial transformations (especially the privatization of space) of the planned space. The approach of the uses and appropriations of the public space (stricto sensu) emerges in the field work as an empirical-analytical dimension revealing the weight of the social interactions that take place in some Palmas spaces. The construction of such research contributions made it possible to analyze broadly the socio-spatial dynamics, including perspectives of historical, subjective, spatial and social processes. (AU)
