Cars are in the center of urban and environmental issues around the world. Cars entangle global economies, from the mainstream to the margins. Social research paid scarce attention to them. Our project departs from describing informal, illegal and criminal activities related to the second-hand car economies (street mechanics, trade and theft of parts, car theft and trafficking, resale of …
Illegal markets are an emerging theme in socio-anthropological literature. The relevance of these economies to the Brazilian urban conflict has been highlighted, as well as the nationalization of southeastern criminal factions to other regions of the country, especially the national borders, ports and airports. The arrival at borders expands the scale of drugs, weapons, smuggling and vehi…
The Center for Metropolitan Studies (CEM) intends to be a world-class center which is also committed to knowledge diffusion and technology transfer. Hosted at CEBRAP and composed by associated university departments, the center is composed by a multi-disciplinary group - demographers, political scientists, sociologists, geographers, and anthropologists -, whose research agenda aims at stu…
The purpose of this study is fourfold: 1) to build collaborative research links between British and Brazilian researchers; 2) to facilitate knowledge transfer and exchange between researchers in Brazil and the UK; 3) to conduct pilot/background research in order to apply for long-term, collaborative research funding in the future (e.g., Economic and Social Research Council Leverhulme Trus…
This project contains four parts: i) participation in activities of NaMargem and CEM, as visitor of CEPID Project; ii) an interdisciplinary course for graduate and post-graduate students (UFSCar); iii) a fieldwork-based research study in São Paulo city; iv)lectures in UFSCar, CEM, UNICAMP and possibly in USP.

Since the early 2000s, ethnographic literature on the "world of crime" in Brazil has announced the hegemony of the PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital, or First Command of the Capital) in the state of São Paulo, the cradle of the faction. This literature suggested the direct implication of this hegemony, in the context of expanding incarceration, in reducing homicide rates in the state. In M…
Brazilian social stratification structure and income inequality has undergone important changes in recent years. Between the second half of the last decade and the middle 2010's, Brazilian working poor went through an upward social mobility period with a promise of integration through consumption. However, the scenario today presents an economic crisis, with increasing unemployment and in…
During the year of postdoctoral research, I want to analyse the several violences that affect young women's bodies, living in militarized territories, taking into consideration the multiplicity of male agents of these violences. Those are drug traffickers, members of military police, and even family. I intend: 1) to analyse how these violences concretely affected women bodies and how they…
The studies about inequality have been, for years, playing a prominent role in the literature and in the interest of the social sciences. The dimension of the interfaces between legal and illegal markets, the circulation of money, and the reproduction of inequalities and violence have been insufficiently researched. Inscribed in a project that maps the stolen vehicle markets from São Paul…
The present scientific initiation research will integrate CEPID/CEM in line of research (Il) legal markets, inequalities and violence: urban production mechanisms in Brazil, from São Paulo, whose objective is to map the legal and illegal markets of vehicles and their mechanisms of production of inequalities and violence, from the city of São Paulo. Demanding objective, given the scarcity …
The bibliography about the body and the categories of difference is, since the 1980s, a central theme in the Social Sciences. Although in the Racial and Gender Studies the interlocution between these categories is a relevant subject, Sociology and Urban Anthropology do not concentrate much bibliography on the subject. The general objective of this project is to investigate the relationshi…

In the position of Visiting Fellow (one-year position) at the Department of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University, I aim to write two original articles. In the first, I seek to discuss gender and intergenerational relations between residents of areas characterized, control and constrained by constant armed conflict. In the second, I will analyze the physical violence(s) suffered by wom…
This project is a proposal for the Foreign Research Stage Grant (BEPE/FAPESP), to be carried out under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Finn Stepputat (DIIS, Danish Institute of International Studies). Through the Urban Studies, the project's goal is to understand and to analyze the connections between the social markers of difference and the urban conflict, reflecting both body and the locat…
The illegal markets - such as drug and guns trade, smuggling or auto parts issued from car theft - not always produce violence and homicide. Anyway, in Latin America and especially in Brazil, different criminal and violent actors dispute those markets. The international literature on illegal markets, although it has developed in recent years, is marked by normative approaches with fragile…
This project presents a proposition to an Abroad Research Internship Scolarship (Bolsa de estágio de Pesquisa no Exterior - BEPE) under orientation of professor Marie Morelle, from Paris University I. The objective is to undertake a more careful and systematic reflection about the relationship between the public security policies and the forms of urban management and city production, espe…
