| Abstract | |
The dissertation deals with the phenomenon of urban segregation in Brazilian cities with reference to the daily life of a group of children, from 07 to 11 years of age, living in a gated community located in Campinas-SP. The text aims to present the specifics of a childhood between walls, exploring the richness and singularity of their forms of appropriation of the condominium and insertion into the city. Thus, on one hand, it explores the relationship of children with the gated community's spaces and how their ties of sociability take place, especially in moments of leisure. The research shows how children rewrite the spaces of the gated community perceiving an existence other than that formed by the planned route, the daily security, the scheduled time and their regulated every day practices. On the other hand, the text describes the major shifts of children to the city outside the walls and also examines the perception of the city for this group of children. It shows how through its displacement by urban space and other ways the images of the city come to such agents and are significant elements to their perceptions about urban space. Thus, the research reflects a unique urban experience, from the different ways of facing the city. In short, the thesis presents a childhood in the city and shows the extent to which ownership of childhood as a sociological object may contribute to an important reflection on new forms of subjectivity in the contemporary city (AU) | |
