Rabiscos, traços, imagens: produções gráficas contemporâneas em Belém do Pará

Abstract

With the chronological expansion of Archeology, mainly through the studies of the field of Archeology of the Recent Past, new archaeological approaches have emerged, among them Archeology of Contemporaneity, where from the present time we seek to create an archaeological methodology to study the materiality of the present time. Contemporary graphic productions are part of the everyday life of city dwellers, whether it be a graffiti wall with a song lyric, a declaration of love, a landscape riverain, or even a "pixo" charging housing or expressing protest words. In this sense, Belém presents itself with several activities of Contemporary graphic interventions developed by isolated people or street collectives that seek to express their ideas, feelings, or indignation, spilling over into the parietal supports starting from graffiti and "pixações". Based on these reflections, this dissertation seeks toidentify with the authors of contemporary graphic productions and part of Belém society the identity of this activity in the urban environment, trying to understand the consequences with this type of activity, and the social tensions in these spaces. For this, we sought elements of Archeology of the Contemporaneity and the landscape for the methodological development of this research.
