Abstract
This article aims to explore urban interventions in the city of Porto Alegre and its effects on the ways of life in the city. Such interventions may be in tune with urban art, activism ar, ephemeral, urbanistic, architectural and occupational movements of public spaces. The methodology is traced through cartography and wandering, making the researcher’s body surface to events. Thus, a narrative about the forces that compose the city is constructed from the effects of such interventions in the urban environment. In the face of the homogenizing imperatives of cities - linked to the premises of biopower and capitalist production, pause effects are found in an accelerated routine that allow encounters and dissipates urban fear. Urban interventions promote the opening of thresholds that make it possible to create and defend the potency of life, intertwining with the production of the new in emerging subjectivities.
