Abstract

The work for now presented builds an interpretation of the geography of the contemporary movie theaters of the municipal district of São Paulo. From the establishment of the movie theaters while leisure equipment and culture, this element played fundamental part in the production and reproduction of the São Paulo urban space, engendering, in different moments, different social meanings and several forms of sociabilities. In recent years, especially in elapsing of the decades of 1990 and 2000, the market cinematographic from São Paulo exhibitor was modeled for at least two equipments, really different amongst themselves: the multiplex movie theaters, commonly located in shopping centers, belonging to great business nets, and the movie theaters especialized in alternative programming or of art, rule installed in public roads or in galleries, fomenting an appropriation of the space that we can name of territoriality. Considering such a social product, the primordial objective went to analyze the meaning of the movie theaters, the actions and appropriations developed by their visitors, in the and for the (re)production of the from São Paulo urban space starting from the decade of 1990, elaborating, for so much, a theoretical-conceptual understanding based in the conceptions of geographical nets and in the current territories and space appropriations. The theoretical proposal went to create one amalgamates complex, that it didn\'t mitigate nor the relevance of the factors cultural, interpretative and of appropriation, it causes and consequence of the movie theaters, either disrespected the structuring and the agents\' economical motivations that coordinate the organization of these equipments. It is believed, in that sense, that the work, presenting and contemplating concerning one of the most important leisure elements and existent culture in the municipal district of São Paulo, it can subsidize a dense critic of phenomena and responsible processes, in great measure, for the production of the contemporary urban space and their social meanings.
