ST 2 MUSEUM OF THE MARE: NEW REPERTOIRES OF CONSTETATION IN THE FAVELAS OF RIO DE JANEIRO

Resumo

Identities are constructed by culturally produced images through which different individuals identify themselves and are identified by others. While the resistance background of slum dwellers offers significant sources for their self-identification, favelas are usually seen by other citizens as pockets of poverty and violence lacking any positive contribution to the city. The stigma of “favelado” is so deeply-rooted that even the residents of areas that had been subject of regularization programs remain stigmatized as second-class citizens long after the settlement have been upgraded (Fernandes and Smolka, 2004).
