Abstract

Establishing similarities between popular-urban cultural phenomena emerging in a world metropolis (New York), and a peripheral Brazilian metropolis (Salvador), which establishes from similar relations with the city, with the cultural industry, and with political and economic data, aims to understand cultural dynamics present in current stage production of capitalism, characterized by the guidance of culture for the production of goods. Therefore, it proposes a comparative study, in which the aesthetic content is left in parentheses, in favor of analysis of material, social and economic effects, as well as an attempt of understanding existing logic in other cultural contemporary events, in addition to performing as a contribution to reflections on possible links between Art, Culture and City.
