Ruas de Eventos: Práticas de lazer em três momentos históricos na cidade de São Paulo

ON THIS ESSAY WE ARE GOING TO describe and analyze some aspects of urban cultural dynamics from the leisure practices, which aims to rebuilt by historiography the living about intercession between the streets the uses of built.The research is composed by three texts about leisure arrangements and meeting places, accompanying the development and urban expansion of the city of São Paulo and, therefore, in three different momments, with the intentions of looking for the way that people handled with the places that they used to entertained and how it used to be appropriated and what changes. The adopted strategy consists on the dyad of the term "events". On the one hand, the deregulation of rules originally proposed, in a reflection that proposes changes, especially immaterial, in this case, urban culture. The other, expresses the playful act itself, which is also the leisure empiricism manifested in the celebration of moments of scheduled or spontaneous meetings. The goal is to identify the places where the effect of these practices get along with greater intensity and recurrence, electing thus an urban piece (a street) emblematic of its time and thus describe the practice and peculiarities occurrences in it, "How was it, what they used to do, what has changed and what has remained about the urban culture?". Reflect on the "amusements" of society, from past to contemporary times, it is the " enchantment " of this research.The method applied on this research, that we belive to give way support for its development, consists on bibliographic and iconographic review, with some special attention and selection in journalistic material because their daily publications. Indeed, the conceptual theoretical framework engenders some interpretative keys that are incisive look at the production of the São Paulo metropolis, especially for civil relations.If the appropriations for leisure are state of awakening products latency of a particular environment with a view to its possibilities, the volume of production in other sectors could not pass unscathed through this process. In light of these considerations, each chapter discusses a systemic approach to the housing sector, trade and services, corporate and leisure, which requires its own spatiality.Finally, what we want to offer from this study, in addition to contextualize some facets of diversity, productions and cultural practices, is to reflect on the exhaustion of the places. In São Paulo as a large urban center, prestigious locations that occurred relapses of leisure activities, are the same as those of yesteryears? Therefore, it is a reflection on the city that since the times of its "black gold" own, the coffee, the city was designed to work and thought by the action of the Money, and then, to the uses of the cars, thus, conveys a message that anything as the same time everything seems to have to bind with the cultural development of leisure.Keywords: urban culture, urban atmosphere, leisure practices, daily life, street uses.
