| Abstract | |
Ethnographic research on the formation of new political subjects in the peripheries of Sao Paulo in a context of progressive governments and intense economic and social change suggests that cultural groups and especially poetry recitals play a fundamental role in a cultural struggle to articulate the valuation of a more communal way of life and a peripheral identity. In addition to contributing to the emergence of new public issues in the outskirts of Sao Paulo, the recitals have become known as venues for political formation in opposition to or in addition to more established spaces such as nongovernmental organizations, political parties, and the state itself. Pesquisas etnograficas sobre a formacao de novos sujeitos politicos nas periferias de Sao Paulo, em um contexto de governos progressistas e intensa mudanca economica e social, sugerem que grupos culturais e, especialmente, saraus de poesia desempenham papel fundamental na luta cultural para articular a valorizacao de uma sociedade com mais estilo de vida comunitaria e uma identidade periferica. Alem de contribuir para o surgimento de novas questoes publicas nos arredores de Sao Paulo, os saraus ficaram conhecidos como locais de formacao politica de oposicao contra, ou alem de, espacos mais estabelecidos, como organizacoes nao-governamentais, partidos politicos e o proprio Estado.
