Abstract

This study part of the analysis of the multiple meanings attributed to the practice of street skateboarding in São Paulo. Through ethnography aims to highlight not only issues surrounding the practice of a sport, but mainly the implications of the uses and appropriations of urban space; and how the city can be read symbolically and ordered through a olhar skatista. From the fieldwork was intended to describe, analyze and follow as far as possible what was passed overt the networks created through an event called Circuito Sampa Skate. In this sense, to research the various lugares skatáveis of the city and their respective picos, the reference is not an ethnographic single space or clumps of people, but rather a multiplicity of spaces and actor that are articulated through wider networks of relations. Thus, there is a chance to relate the different cuttings of the universe of street skateboarding in São Paulo, this is not defined a priori, but constructed out of discourses, practices and representations heterogeneous, and in the middle of a dynamic relational manifested situationally.
