Epifanias Literárias – Poéticas de Acontecimentos na Cidade

Abstract

The space in the city is an extremely revealing place of a city´s way of life, in its cultural, social and political aspects. Everything that happens reveals issues and or tensions that leave marks and echo feelings about the city we live in, and the city that we want. Thus, this article proposes to analyze some manifestations of writing on the city walls, designated by this researcher as Literary Graffiti (GL). GLs are phrases, poems generally short, developed in different printing techniques, full of meanings and discourses, whether they are political, poetical and or literary, a true epiphany in the city. It aims to identify possible relations, transgressions and or conflicts of these writings on the skin of the walls, in its most varied forms of expression, addressing concepts of urban art, art and activism, poetry and the relations with states of consciousness by the metropolitan man, seeking an transdisciplinary and epistemological view of the most recent events, in the public areas of Rio de Janeiro city, by the strong socio-economic and political pressures.
