This thesis proposition is to open a debate, that is, to raise questions about the meaning of otherness (differentness) in its wide sense of the other than me , which has many diverse synonyms, such as: distinct, peculiar, variant and strange. More specifically this debate is articulated to the historical changes that happened in Rio de Janeiro, which was chosen by us for its political significance as it had been the seat of Brazilian government from the end of XVIII century to 1960. During that period of time all the government policies were driven from Rio de Janeiro to all others Brazilian states and capitals. So this thesis is a historical research that is not concerned with the linear perspective of events, which could lead us to think that the past determine our lives in an inexorable way. In our perspective the history of the strategies which attached the labels to otherness (differentness) the others indians, black slaves, half breeds, had their source in the colonial, imperial and republican periods, and jumping to our days, it leads us to question our reality and the way we deal with otherness (diferentness) concerning the others, the strangers and the city itself. Finally the story we want to tell apllies its own history as a way to question our own identity and to force us to think and to create original ways to deal with the urban spaces and the others/ strangers .
