PUNK AND HIP HOP IN THE CITY

TERRITORIES AND BONDS OF SOCIABILITY

Abstract

This article tries to approach the process by which the punk and hip-hop movements are constituted in the city of Guarapuava-Pr in order to develop a  geographical examination of these social movements constituted by young people. first there is a brief introduction to the mode of constitution of the very place that, in a certain time, had the geo-historic conditions fit for the making of these youthful transterritorial movements. The study then elaborates a brief history of the rise and spread of the punk and hip hop culture all over the world. finally, attention is drawn to an interpretation on the way these movements took root in Guarapuava and emphasis is placed on both the making of located bonds of sociability and the territorialization of each movement in the city since they were responsible for the constitution of new political characters who were in dialogue and also in conflict with the ones already present. The central point of this work is the spread, the territorialization and the making of bonds of sociability in both these movements.
