Abstract

Abstract Resulting from the master's thesis entitled "Without ‘eiras’ and on the city's borders: the urban metamorphosis as an obstacle to the emancipatory metamorphosis", this article discusses the social-environmental conditions to the construction of identity in areas of concentration of poverty. For that, it portrays aspects of a study developed in the Sertão da Sesmaria, Ubatuba-SP, highlighting feminine views on the images of the dwelling, the neighborhood, the city and themselves as citizens. Participants were women of different age groups whose criteria of insertion were the type and length of residence in that neighborhood. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and, for discourse analysis, categories were constructed through units of meaning that responded as they see / perceive / feel in the house, in the neighborhood and in the city. Thus, it was possible to understand how the identity of these dwellers emerge in this space-time of urban living and affirm that, in degraded spaces, degraded identities are constructed. (AU)
