Resumo: | Taking as reference the approaches adopted by Bourdieu (2010) and Jacobs (2011), the focus of this article is to present the findings of a research effort designed to investigate the relationships between the constructs Space and Social Dynamics. In this sense, it seeks to investigate in which manner did the relationships among different social agents – emphasizing the roles played by local entrepreneurs – which, upon mobilizing different capitals – economic, social, cultural and symbolic (BOURDIEU, 2010) – shape and are shaped by specific spatial configurations, creators of socio-spatial dynamics that are diversity-enablers to a greater or lesser extent (JACOBS, 2011). For this purpose, an investigation inspired on the Grounded Theory was undertaken, involving documentary analysis, direct observation and 41 semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs, dwellers, passers-by and opinion leaders inserted into the dynamics of an important peripheral street in the city of Sete Lagoas/MG. Notable findings include the relevance of studies that draw more systematic considerations, extrapolating economic, social, cultural and symbolic capitals (BOURDIEU, 2010), allocating a greater importance to “spatial capital”, usually relegated to a secondary plane not only in Bourdieu’s “Theory of Practical Action” as well as in classical studies into Economics and Geography (SANTOS, 2012). Another of this study’s significant findings is that the subjects personified in the different types of entrepreneurs identified – Traditional, Modern and Bricoleurs – do not emerge nor act in a socio-spatial void, nor are independent from each other. Quite the opposite, they are a part of a community social ecology (HANNAN; FREEMAN, 1984), rife with dispute, collaboration and intentional and unconscious synergies, in which space, in addition to technological-economical forces, plays a relevant role. |

Neste sentido, visa investigar de que maneira as relações entre diferentes agentes sociais – com ênfase nos papeis desempenhados por empreendedores locais – que, ao mobilizar diferentes capitais – econômicos, sociais, culturais e simbólicos (BOURDIEU, 2010) – condicionam e são condicionados por configurações espaciais específicas, criadores de dinâmicas socioespaciais que são facilitadores da diversidade em maior ou menor grau (JACOBS, 2011). Para tal, foi conduzida pesquisa inspirada na Grounded Theory, envolvendo análise documental, observação direta e 41 entrevistas semiestruturadas com empreendedores, moradores, transeuntes e formadores de opinião inseridos na dinâmica de importante rua da periferia da cidade de Sete Lagoas (MG). Resultados notáveis incluem a relevância de estudos que traçam considerações mais sistemáticas, extrapolando os capitais econômico, social, cultural e simbólico (BOURDIEU, 2010), atribuindo maior importância ao “capital espacial”, comumente relegado a segundo plano não somente na “Teoria da Ação Prática”, de Bourdieu como também em estudos clássicos em Economia e Geografia (SANTOS, 2012). Outro resultado significativo deste estudo é que os sujeitos personificados nos diferentes tipos de empreendedores identificados – Tradicionais, Modernos e Bricoleurs – não emergem, nem atuam em um vácuo socioespacial, nem são independentes uns dos outros. Ao contrário, fazem parte de uma ecologia social comunitária (HANNAN; FREEMAN, 1984), repleta de disputa, colaboração e sinergias intencionais e inconscientes, em que o espaço, além das forças tecnológico-econômicas, desempenha um papel relevante.FUCAPE Business Shool2017-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/6710.15728/bbr.2017.14.5.6Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 14 No. 5 (2017): September to Octomber 2017; 544-558Brazilian Business Review; v. 14 n. 5 (2017): Setembro a Outubro de 2017; 544-5581808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
