Recusa de regulamentos de lotação vs reprodução de superlotação: análise de práticas e percepções dos utentes do chapa 100 na Cidade de Maputo, 2009

Abstract

This study presents a reflection about the “chapa 100 reality”, based on perceptions and attitudes of the “chapa‟s users”. To take as starting point the perceptions of the chapa‟s users gives to this study a particularity regarding the other studies that analyze the chapa 100 in the perspective of the chapa‟s makers. In these, they are seen as being the main actors, in the sense that their actions are faced as the ones that structure, and of them depend the passengers‟s behaviors. In the present study we analyze the same phenomenon, in a perspective which shows that the practices of the chapa‟s users, before everything, constitute the reflex of their consciences, of their subjectivities, in the evaluation of the “chapa‟s reality. On it, we‟re trying to reach the social conditions of the reproduction of the overcrowding of the vehicles. So, we deduced that the overcrowding of the vehicles that is verified in the chapa, is not only resulting from the actions of the chapa‟s makers, but also for the subjective evaluation of the context in that grows that chapa 100, by the passengers. In that sense, the passengers also compete for the reproduction of the phenomenon that characterize the chapa 100 reality, in the case slope, the overcrowding.
