Mobiliza estação saracura vai-vai: análise das potencialidades das ações de um coletivo e suas redes urbano-comunicacionais

Resumo (EN)

This research investigates the disputes over power, memory, and territory surrounding the Quilombo Saracura, located in the Bixiga neighborhood (São Paulo), through the actions of the collective “Mobiliza Estação Saracura Vai-Vai” in its urban-communicational networks on Instagram. The study aims to understand how urban narratives about Afro-Brazilian memory, identity, and cultural heritage are produced, contested, and re-signified in the digital environment, particularly on the Collective’s Instagram profile. The central research question reflects on how urban and communicational activism contributes to resisting historical erasure and the tensions between urbanization and cultural preservation. The main conceptuais frameworks include urban communication (Reguillo, 1996; Caiafa, 2017, 2002), the right to the city (Lefebvre, 2001; Harvey, 2005, 2012), controversies and networks (Latour, 2012), and cyberquilombism (Franco, 2022). The methodology was based on data collection and qualitative analysis of posts from the @estacaosaracuravaivai profile (2022–2025), considering engagement, hashtags, and narratives. The study demonstrates that networked communicational practices operate as social technologies of resistance, reaffirming the role of digital communication in democratizing urban space.
