Abstract

The parameters of social interaction in cities, often to establish the influence of media products. This work aims to investigate how identities encouraged by the media constitute the urban space and influence in the ownership and the new uses that are charged to the space. Our approach is to unmask the events connected to black music, more specifically to the Quarteirão do Soul, a movement that happens on Saturday afternoons in the central region of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Among the peculiarities of our object of research is the fact that a movement led by poor people, coming from different regions of the city, in the range of 45-50 years, who meet every Saturday in the low-center Belo Horizonte, taking possession of the sidewalk and street dance to black music to rescue the ideals of social equality preached by soul music and realize that this space as a point of social interaction and affirmation of their identity.
