SHARING AND MICRO-TERRITORIALITY OF THE METROPOLITAN SOCIAL SPACE

Abstract

The object of this explanation is to reflect upon the social space and the metropolitan micro-territorialities. One attempts to analyze this space, considered by Henri Lefebvre as medium and mediation, in which two sets of conditioning are important: one lives both the everyday life of wide social-spatial integration with the significant propensity of the technical mediation in the conduct of life – in a global articulation –, and that of ordinary life, of social-spatial practices of strong local bonds. It is a geography that has become too complex, impregnated with different levels destined to the avoidance of conflict, with dynamics of usage and denial, occupation and containment, besides the space shared through common cultural and political experience. One ends this discussion dealing with some situations in the city of Porto Alegre, relative to the attributes of micro - territorialities to reflect this complexity.
