As Brasílias dos saraus das periferias: imagens além do cartão postal

Abstract

Even today, the representations of Brasilia that circulate as hegemonic and the Brazilians that appear in them all focus on the original project, even though many of them re-signify their bases linked to progress and capitalist ideals, contrasting reports that emphasize the affections, the feelings, the bodies that coexist between asphalt and concrete, aspects at first sight incompatible with the logic of the city (BEAL, 2015). However, in recent years, certain historically desolate and silenced narratives coming from the periphery of the Pilot Plan have begun to resonate, bringing in the city's imaginary other brasilias that are no longer thought of as an utopia, but as an heterotopia, a subversion of the established order that leads us to the creation of resignified and alternative places (FOUCAULT, 1982). The par excellence space of the creation and vociferation of these stories are the saraus of the peripheries. This article analyzes the images about Brasilia that are built in these literary spaces located in the Administrative Regions, composing, besides the analysis, a file with material that does not circulate beyond this independent and autonomous literary circuit.
