Escritas marginais urbanas nas ruas de Salvador: cartografias e reescritas do direito à cidade.

Abstract

This conversation privileges the margins - this interstice, sometimes a place of meetings, sometimes a place of tensions - that leads to thinking about Salvador, a black city, and its unauthorized writings, which fill walls and surfaces despite the laws. It starts with a dialogue between urban marginal writings and the Right to the City, understood here as the daily making of the streets, a horizon of emancipation and ways of existing. It faces the conflicts based on the invention of (i)legalities for control and homogenization of urban spaces. Therefore, there's an interest to investigate how power structures, more precisely the urban-legal system, operate processes of marginalization and invisibility of outlaw expressions, persecution and erasure read as a face for necropolitics and the ongoing epistemicide. As a methodological support, it is guided by the cartography incorporated in the "Rolês", which starts from the analysis of the Flagrant Occurrences of graffiti, made by the Police and the Municipal Guard, and goes towards the walls, observing and provoking the multiple narratives of the streets, accessing different layers of perception of the city. In a constant state of crossing, it also bets on the experience of listening and memory, for the construction of mediative imaginary, glimpsing possible spaces for negotiation in socio-spatial disputes for visibility and participation in urban life.
