The study investigated the notorious construction of a block of connected
apartments and kitchenettes, located in the neighborhood of Botafogo in the south
of Rio de Janeiro, to understand the stigma that surrounds said
construction.Through a methodological approach was used participant
observation, semi-structured interviews and an analysis of newspaper articles to
creat a mosaic of narratives regarding the day-to-day life of the Building and to
depict a style of housing that has been present in the urban landscape of the city
since the mid-1950 s.It should also be noted that the narrative surrounding the
building, present both in extracts from interviews and comments on social
networks (such as Facebook) can be considered a result of the constant production
of journalistic content that tended to use derogatory terms and names about the
building and so corroborated in the elaboration of a myth about the place.This
thesis is divided into four chapters. The first presents a brief history of the
Botafogo neighborhood and the lavish (verticalization) construction of the
southern zone that created (mainly due to radio, soap operas telenovelas and
newspapers, an idealist image about this part of the city and what good living
looked like, by directly linking the value of the ground and upward development
and construction that was required to house the large influx of residents that
would make this region of the city a project of growth and personal
achievement.The second chapter is an ethnography of the building, where the
thesis endeavored to demonstrate an image of everyday life through notebooks
and participant recollections. The third chapter draws together interviews
conducted with current residents and former residents, and largely discusses the
paths adopted to complete the research in the midst of a turbulent moment in
history of the world – the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this chapter is to
demonstrate how the characters that make up this style of living in twenty
square meters, relate to the space, its stories and trajectories.Based on comments
about the building found in newspaper clippings, obtained through the
Hemeroteca Digital (an online collection of newspapers, magazines and
periodicals), the fourth chapter depicts the social construction of the narrative
about what the building is. The work is centered on the field of urban
anthropology and employs as its starting point the works of anthropologist
Gilberto Velho, as well as texts from the Chicago School.Lastly, the intention of
this thesis from the construction of the chapters was to analyze within the area of
urban anthropology, a building that undergoes a path of a symbol of modernity
and social ascension as a stronghold for people of disrepute. The thesis presents a
glimpse from within via the residents and people who pass through it as well as an
impression from outside via newspapers and neighbors, and highlights how the
two intersect and are intertwined, constituting a mosaic that can only be
understood when all parts are analyzed.
