LANNES-FERNANDES, Fernando. The youth from favela: Reflections on socio-spatial control and enclosure of the urban outcasts in Rio de Janeiro. Convergencia [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.59, pp.159-186. ISSN 2448-5799.

This article outlines a reflection on analytic tools which can contribute in studies about urban segregation and socio-spatial stigmatisation. The urban space production in Rio de Janeiro and the social representation of Favelas is utilized as an empiric reference for a theoretical discussion, in which two analytical notions are introduced: the "socio-spatial control and enclosure" and the "space of embarrassment".

Keywords : stigma and urban segregation.
