CAVALLIN CALANCHE, Claudia. Imbrications between urban imagery and the city subject. Letras [online]. 2008, vol.50, n.77, pp.51-75. ISSN 0459-1283.

There is a wide scope of options for approaching the subject. When dealing with the subject of big cities, especially, this scope is widened.  City subjects create self-representations as well as representations of their space and surroundings; they create orienting senses for their everyday practices. Hence, the city subject rises on his representations and actualizes them in his environment. The interaction processes of social actors, in a context like the city, are defined by each subject’s representations of what it means to be a citizen within the urban. In this work, we attempt to elucidate that complex relationship between the subject and the city where he lives
