A revolta da vacina: autoritarismo político na produção do espaço moderno

Abstract

From the association of space-time adjustment and fictitious capital with Pereira Passos's Urban Reform (1902 – 1906), the mechanisms that leveraged the socio-spatial transformations in the city of Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century were explained. In this process, the export of surplus capital and labor from Europe to Brazil was predominant. And, in the transformations of the then Brazilian capital, the keynote was popular housing. Through the authoritarianism undertaken by the government, in the removals and demolitions of popular housing, the city center is transformed in terms of its form and content. The concept of habitat and the racial component contribute by mediating the transformations. Space-time adjustment, Passos Urban Reform and Vaccine Revolt are revealed as transverse phenomena by the authoritarianism of the transforming actions of the State on popular housing. In this way, a segregated urban space is produced, along the lines of modernity, in Rio de Janeiro.
