Resumo

This article offers an anthropological critique of Brasilia, examining the modernist vision of the planned city as a utopian project aimed at transforming Brazilian society. Fuller and Holston analyze the disjunction between the idealized representation of Brasilia and the lived experiences of its inhabitants. They argue that the city's design, while aesthetically striking, failed to account for the social and cultural dynamics of urban life, resulting in a disconnect between the planned and the lived city. The authors explore how residents adapted to and subverted the modernist plan, creating alternative spaces and practices that challenged the official vision. They draw on ethnographic research and urban theory to demonstrate how Brasilia became a site of contestation and negotiation between the modernist ideal and the realities of everyday life.
