The thesis then presented to IESP/UERJ as a prerequisite for obtaining a Ph.D. in Sociology, demonstrates how the pictorial style graffiti had its social perception subverted since its aesthetic assimilation by institutions called "official" from world of the visual arts in Brazil, basically the market and places of worship to works of art (galleries and museums, respectively), at the beginning of the XXI century. From the category "art world" in Becker (1982), the work seeks to outline the "world of graffiti in Rio de Janeiro" and their points of contact with institutions and individuals own the "official world of the arts . The research hypothesis - investigated through microsociological fieldwork according to qualitative social research paradigm inherent Chicago School (Coulon, 1995) - is from this intercession or these contact points, narrowed in the past two decades, there emerged a subjective process of legitimization of graffiti as artistic activity in Brazil, promoting the displacement of its broad social perception, located primarily in an atmosphere classed as a pollutant (Douglas , 1976) and deviant (Becker, 2009), to an atmosphere of appreciation and consequent assimilation of its aesthetic by niches like fashion, advertising, home decoration and public policies to combat juvenile delinquency and idleness.
