BATISTA, Lázaro; GUIMARAES, Marina Luiza P.  and  BAU, Aline Cristina. Open-air markets, thresholds and frontiers: between biopolitics regulations and everyday life astuteness. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2018, vol.13, n.4, pp. 1-12. ISSN 1809-8908.

Following the everyday life of an open-air market, this work searches for discussing the effects resulting from the current process of sanitizing and ordainment of Boa Vista's urban space, capital from Roraima's state. For this, it pursues theoretical and methodological marks from the philosophy of difference, post-structuralism and human and social sciences. By this guidance, it was performed participant and unsystematic observations, with cartography and ethnography inspirations, over 15 months, at the "Rural Producer Market". First, they were sporadic observations, knowing and rambling on the field. Then, weekly, the attention was focused on the routine and activities of some marketers, in specific. From this research route, it is enunciated the actuality of biopolitics devices which regulates life, bodies and routines of marketers and frequenters, whereas, in the interstice and thresholds of these practices, it points to practices of resistance and astuteness that are put into operation daily at the open-air market. Experiences-limits that are believed to attempt to other forms of living and experimenting the city.

Keywords : Open-air market; City; Threshold; Biopolitics; Everyday life.
