Resumo: After being practiced for nearly three decades in the city of São Paulo for privately-owned venues such as cinemas, theaters and, more recently, sports stadiums, the sale of naming rights is being applied to state-owned spaces: in April 2020, the Companhia do Metropolitano de São Paulo (Cia. do Metrô) announced a plan to grant to private exploitation the right to name its stations. This article analyzes this plan, its premises and expectations. It concludes that, while a series of conflicts related to the memory of the city and its spatial landmarks have been identified by recent studies on toponymic commodification and suggested by the city’s antecedents on this matter, such conflicts do not seem to be considered in the plan’s agenda.

Este artigo analisa esse projeto, suas premissas e expectativas. Conclui que uma série de conflitos relacionados à memória da cidade e a seus marcos espaciais, embora apontados em estudos recentes sobre comodificação toponímica e também sugeridos pelos próprios antecedentes paulistanos no tema, não parecem fazer parte da agenda de preocupações do projeto.PP/UFU2021-03-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/5705010.14393/DL46-v15n2a2021-4Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 15 No. 2 (2021): The quest for interdisciplinarity in the Brazilian Onomastics; 347-370Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 15 Núm. 2 (2021): A busca pela interdisciplinaridade na Onomástica brasileira; 347-370Domínios de Lingu@gem; v. 15 n. 2 (2021): A busca pela interdisciplinaridade na Onomástica brasileira; 347-3701980-5799reponame:Domínios de Lingu@geminstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUengporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/57050/31079https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/57050/31080https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/57050/34641Copyright (c) 2021 Martin Jayo, Adriana Tavares Limahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJayo, MartinTavares Lima, Adriana2022-09-16T18:37:15Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/57050Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagemPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/oairevistadominios@ileel.ufu.br||1980-57991980-5799opendoar:2022-09-16T18:37:15Domínios de Lingu@gem - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
