Resumo

The goal of this research is to analyze urban groups called motor clubs, from Goiânia, capital of the State of Goiás, considering the time perspective between 1980 and 2008, choosing as the beginning, the decade of 1980s, because this period was the formation of the motor clubs in Goiânia. These groups are composed, mainly, by males, and they have the motorcycle as the common good, not as a vehicle itself, but as a symbol of ideology of the group, which refers to the lovers of freedom, adventure, brotherhood, fraternity and extension of youth. In order to broaden the view to this subject, this research was based on the theory of the current individualism and tribalism as well as the underground culture and the current urban tribe issues. This work related the motor clubs to other young urban gangs and the power of the moving pictures media, being the provider of this lifestyle. The main objective of this research, and focusing on the Geographic view, is to indicate, survey, locate, characterize and to show the boundaries of the spaces formed by these groups formed in the urban, during the period of research, as well as, we could even dare to differentiate them and create a new category of fixed, casual and micro territories. And analyzing the vast and complex symbolic field, it is shown a discussion about urban territorialities by these social agents, members of the motor clubs. They can create physical, material barriers, frontiers within a symbolic base, and are able to modify the accesses to people with the people who don t belong to that area. The methodology of this research consists of 60 (sixty) questionnaires, 20 (twenty) informal interviews semi-structured and visits to motor club places, motor bars, video arcades and motorcycle events.
