CITY AND URBAN HISTORY: NOTES

Abstract

This article aims to present a theoretical debate about the approach, from a historical point of view, to the peripheral spaces of a city that, throughout its four centuries, has been marked by a history of valuing its founding nucleus, the “Praia Grande” neighborhood. Throughout the 20th century, books, magazines, guides, albums and audiovisual productions sought to reproduce representations of the city through its historic center. In order to overcome this limitation, through the contributions of Certeau, Bresciani, Bodei and Reis, we sought to develop an itinerary in which we considered all the social actors involved in the construction of urban trajectory, through the convergence of relations between objects and the links between the public and the private are essential for reading everyday life in urban space.
