Medo na cidade: um estudo de caso no bairro da Terra Firme em Belém/PA

Abstract

The debate about fear in the city imposes the necessity of anchoring a theory capable of explaining the contradictions intertwined in the urbanization process in the capitalist logic. The analysis developed in this dissertation were instigated by comments on manifestations of this phenomenon in the neighborhood of the Mainland in Bethlehem, PA, trying to grasp changes in the social dynamics of its inhabitants, but also to understand the phenomenon of urban violence and the feeling of fear in city, established from the perverse logic of capitalism, which are played with varying intensities in Brazilian cities and Amazon.
