Percursos entre centralidades, periferias, ocupações e vilas: as representações do espaço de jovens do Guajuviras-Canoas/RS

The Guajuviras neighborhood, located in the municipality of Canoas-RS is represented as of the occupation processes and in the differentiation among Sectors and Villages. The young prominent actors in the imaginary of the contemporary city appropriate themselves with the existing representations reproducing them and/or recreating them. Thus this analysis starts from the practices and representations of young residents in Guajuviras, in readings that highlight the permanence and ruptures of senses in the Neighborhood Life of these young people.
