Biograficidade: a arte urbana na formação de si e do espaço

Abstract

This thesis aims to investigate how urban art can act in the formation of oneself and of spaces. I develop a study with five urban artists from the city of Fortaleza - Narcélio Grud, Emerson Tubarão, Gleison Luz, Leandro Alves and Rafael Limaverde - in order to understand how the production of graffiti on the streets of the city appears as a biographical element in their narratives and as its productions can transform the spaces to be incorporated into the urban landscape, composing the idea of \"biograficidade\", developed in this thesis as a form of writing that we leave in the city and that it incorporates in its narrative. I use the foundations and procedures of (biographical) research from authors such as Josso (2004), Delory-Momberger (2012a), Pineau (2006) and Ferrarotti (1988) as the methodological and epistemological basis of the thesis. For the construction of data for the analysis, I use the narrative interview from the contributions of Jovchelovitch and Bauer (2005). I divided the interview analysis process into two stages, the first one being the \"cloud of words\" methodology, in which I developed a theoretical articulation from the emerging categories of the subjects\' speeches. In the second stage, I use Marinas\' \"scenic comprehension\" (2007) to analyze the context of the interview, to articulate the daily scenes of the interviewees and, finally, to analyze the implied, forgotten or even avoided images. After analyzing the interviews individually, I make a discussion about graffiti from the \"space between\", category in which I develop based on authors such as Deleuze (2006) and Samain (2012). When I realized that graffiti was a recurring element in all the speeches and that there was a differentiation of the way it was seen by the research subjects, I decided to analyze how there is a production from the difference, a multiplicity that does not allow a stable definition of graffiti and also a conversation between the narratives, both in their approaches and in the distance. To make a discussion of \"biograficidade\", I use mainly Jacques (2012), Certeau (1998) and Delory-Momberger (2012a), the authors and the field provides an understanding that our experience has a strong relation with space, since we are changed and transformed by him. In addition, it was possible to arrive at the understanding that there is a narrative of space itself, since the marks that we left in space can be articulated and form an urban narrative.
