Abstract

The following dissertation seeks to comprehend the dynamics which involves the urbanistic interventions embraced by the Porto Maravilha project, especially the discourses focused on embellishment. The process of implantation of this project was initiated in 2009 at the port area of Rio de Janeiro, target of discourses focused on the lexicon of decadence. The methodological approach was given by a systematization of press material, public management and tourist guides, as well as field work, analyzing from the situational perspective and performed at official events, amongst street vendors at the Pedra do Sal samba gatherings and by participating on spectacles which deals with a complex relation amongst the project and local artistic groups. The current period in this scenery is comprehended as a possibility to access questions about the transformations on the contemporary context of Rio de Janeiro, when urbanistic changes allowed the analysis of a moment which makes latent certain conflicts and perceptions of the city, such as the promotion of touristic activities and the discourse of \"return\" to the city center and its patrimonies.
