Abstract

Dynamic, pulsating and contradictory, the digital scope is increasingly important and
functional in contemporary times, being apprehended in the city and manifesting itself in
the specificities of the ways and styles of life in the city. The materiality of the city is
complemented by the digital in the daily life of urban actors, who produce ways of
shaping the city in the interconnections between the face-to-face and the digital. In this
article we propose a reflection on how a group of Pokémon Go players, located in a prime
area of the city of João Pessoa-PB, develop practices of space in relation to the practices
of the game, based on a fieldwork of monitoring this group between the years 2018-2019.
