From multiple representations that are reproduced about the city of Duque de Caxias over the years, imageries and social identities are strengthened and transformed. Although, self-representations, made by cultural agents of the city organized as a network, which much is driven by the use of the internet, seek to deconstruct stereotypes and claim the city they want and believe they have right. In this context, the first part of this research is dedicated to an investigation about how the city of Duque de Caxias was and is represented by several actors, including its own residents. The links between the cultural production of this network and the construction and redefinition of symbols and imagery of the city are highlighted. This dissertation also includes cases of study related to Mate com Angu film club, Lurdinha blog and the group of cartoonists Capa Comics. The second part of this work approaches the affective relationships between the Duque de Caxias dwellers and the inhabited territories, transformed many times by the cultural productions that emphasize the belonging perceptions to the city. The encouragement of the best use of the public spaces and the creation of leisure equipment are presented as essential in this process. The results of this research show a reflection about the Internet potential to strengthen network relations, to create opportunities for self-representations and to improve mobility. The changes occurring around the perceptions of the city, the understanding of belonging to it and the appropriation of the spaces are also highlighted in this paper.
