Abstract

From articles published in the newspapers O Globo and Extra, which have as character the soccer player Adriano, this paper is dedicated to mapping the relationship between journalistic discourses about the city, the perception of violence in these spaces for their inhabitants and the possibilities of emergence of other- routes in this scenario. It is a proposal for thinking about the role of media discourses about the many ways in which individuals construct their symbolic concerns about the city. To this end, the work uses, among others, the theoretical perspectives proposed by Jeudy (2005), Sarlo (2009) and Certeau (1990) - about the relationship between speech and spatiality - and takes as its background the confusing and controversial career of soccer player Adriano by clusters of exclusion (Haesbaert, 2004) of Rio de Janeiro.
