Resumo
This research aims to understand how graffiti places itself as a radical medium in
communication with the city, on a small scale and in different ways. It understands that
graffiti has hybrid components flirting with a series of artistic doings of the visual arts
(such as painting, urban interventions and the graffiti itself) and also literary, as with
subversion, criminal, cultural and political resistance. The subject of this study belongs
to the field of spatial imagination based on the thoughts from the geographer Doreen
Massey, which states that the implicit assumptions we make in relation to the space are
significant. In this sense, it understands the imagination as a mechanism for production
of images, as it creates ways of conceiving the space within all its implications, in social
and political effects. The documents reviewed for this study are the recent research on
the graffiti interventions over the city and it serves as the basis for the notions on the
city that are endowed in their discourses. The goal is to set urban space and the images
in order to establish how the urban graphical interventions - Tags and Graffiti - blur the
established boundaries in the city's territory. Therefore, it seeks to comprehend how the
territories are the result of interactions between social relations and space control, a
powerful relationship in a broad sense, at the same time more concretely (domination)
and symbolic (a type of appropriation as in those cases where we will analyze).
Controlling the space is traditionally done by demarcation, through limits and
boundaries, and also the discourses insert on the elements that make up the urban
spatiality, which means to diminish or weaken the control over it. Thus, increasing the
dynamic fluidity mobility of other aesthetic, information and alternative discourses to
the public policies, priorities and hegemonic perspectives. The work of intervening is
not to manipulate the pictorial elements, but to be appropriate from the material
elements of cities and from their inhabitants movements that make the territory to
communicate or to sensitize their audience. It is in this sense that the political,
economic, and social issues are aspects passing through the understanding of urban
graphical intervention.
