“Bixiga”: dinâmicas comunicacionais e urbanas e seus sentidos políticos

Resumo (EN)

In this research, we analyzed the neighborhood of Bixiga (São Paulo / Brazil) under the notions of interculturality and the communication dynamics between the neighborhood and its multiple agents, focusing on the actions of a group / collective: the Bela Vista Social Network. Combining forms of action in negotiation with institutional, formal and community logics, the Network shows itself as a microcosm or an important point of observation of broader and global logics and dynamics that have been occurring in the neighborhood of Bixiga nowadays, between entrepreneurship, creativity , economies and alternative and collaborative cultural practices, within their limits and possibilities. The research begins with a historical understanding of the neighborhood of Bixiga; then we present the use of a methodology of urban derivas with ethnographic inspiration; ending we focus on the analysis of the Bela Vista Social Network. As conclusions, we present that the practices of the Network give us clues about elements that make up aspects of urban communicability, in the form of information flows, people and senses that cross the city in networks and nodes that articulate activism for the right to the city, uses and appropriations of territories, production and cultural consumption logics, cosmopolitanism forms, identities, socialities and ways of being together.
