FURTADO, Janaina Rocha  and  ZANELLA, Andréa Vieira. Graffiti e cidade: sentidos da intervenção urbana e o processo de constituição dos sujeitos. Rev. Mal-Estar Subj. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.4, pp. 1279-1302. ISSN 1518-6148.

The graffiti present itself as a form of urban intervention and aesthetics expression very that appears frequently in cities of the whole world. This article objected, from six interviews with graffitists of Florianópolis' city, to investigate the senses attributed to the graffiti and the life courses that took the graffitists to the urban graffiti activity. To analyze the interviews, was used the speech analysis, from Bakhtin´s and Vigotski´s as theoretical referential. It was observed that, of the graffiti-amusement in the youth, in which they glimpsed another ways of live in the urban, the young people got closer to the graffiti. For them, graffiti is also leisure and a way to communicate with the city and with the transients; they look for social recognition and they protest about the conditions of life of the population with an activity identified, for many graffitists, as art. We can observed that the activity that the graffitists accomplishes have singulars senses, denoting individuals that have a significant relation with the world, being constituted possible individuals in the urban for middle those senses revisited. Senses that are built in the peculiar histories of the investigated graffitists.

Keywords : city; graffiti; urban art; senses; subject constitution.
