The proliferation of segregated areas in the city makes us questioning about possible citizenship in the prevailing social relations of production that materialize in the daily lives of favela dwellers. The analysis of the favela as social-economic process of capitalism, the way the State acts in the conformation of the territory and the reflections on some aspects of everyday life in Favela da Maré constituted the main goal of the thesis.
