This article intends to explore the social reproduction of the city of Porto Alegre in the column A Cidade, signed by the chronicler Roque Callage, in the newspaper Diário de Notícias. To this explore this factor, texts such as Roger Chartier, Pierre Bourdieu and Émile Durkheim are used as theoretical contributions, as well as some Callage chronicles. The research presents and discusses topics such as Habitus and Social Fields, as well as Symbolic Production Fields, which help to understand the relations and social representations of Porto Alegre in Callage’s conception. It is possible to perceive in A Cidade not only the various points of view that the chronicler has of the Rio Grande do Sul capital, but also also the configuration of a multiple society and the result of tensions between groups with distinct social capitals. The diverse ambiences through which the chronicler Roque Callage transits allow to legitimize his role as an observer of urban changes, relations, approximations and disputes between the distinct groups that form the social fields of Porto Alegre.
