Abstract

On the borders of discourse analysis field, history of linguistic ideas and urban knowledge and language, this thesis seeks to understand the ways knowledge is inscribed in the discourse about the city. we are based on the assumption that knowledge is legitimated institutionally and also by quotidian and that space, as well as language and subjects, assumes historical-forms materially determined. By searching the history of cities' construction for vestiges of knowledge construction in national space, we will show, firstly, how the identification of subjects to the urban occurs through the poetry inscribed in language; secondly, we will define the specificities of this identification related to the parallelism among the processes of grammaticalization, urbanization and the construction of urban monuments as cultural heritage. city is, thus, together with national language and historiography, a unifying imaginary place of a nation by the creation and affirmation of a national us. By searching for the quotidian support to that unity, we will examine, finally, the imbrication between proper name and image in the spatialisation of the urban in fragments of brazilian history. analysis show that name and image bring to existence a unified space inside history which establishes itself. through the observation of the city from its european origins to its colonial unfoldings, we understand the formation of brazilian space by the process of transposition, which resignifies the objects of knowledge according to the place of production. this is its resistance. Knowledge is understood, therefore, as a historical-form of what is known which specifies in space a temporality effect. the brazilian city situates a knowledge where urbanity and nationality conflate and is also located in the silence which spatializes the senses (AU)
