RESUMO

What can we (also) get from our slums, if they are not respected in their singularities? They had been contemplated under only one aspect: poor classes territory of agglomeration. This hegemonic approach about the slums emerges classifying their people as dangerous classes, which bring a risk to our world that is an illusory way to possess a coherent reality. In the academical universe, our specialized speeches use to focus our actions on the risk situation of the helped people instead of doing so on their capacities and their potential. The aim of this work is to understand - by the whole city point of view - the slum inhabitant as someone who can be part of the construction of a collective proposal of living in a single society and who can develop for himself, in a creative way, his own experience of taking part of it. The methodology applied here was the research-action approach (field trip). From the central categories that were taken as relevant in the previous bibliography reading material and from which the empirical material was collected, we proceeded into a qualitative examination of the speeches and information we got from a campfield diary work. The ECO/adolescents Group, composed of young inhabitants from Santa Marta slum, in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, was chosen as this field for our investigation. This work analyses how the mentioned group contributes to make real the ideal of the darned city and to rescue the identity of the actors involved on this.
