Abstract
This paper has as its object of study the process of individualization and identification of the gifted urban subject concerning the arts. It aims to understand how this subject individualizes himself, analyzing productions of self-portraits by Pedro, a talented student from Paranoá City in the Federal District -DF. We will work on three paintings. Given certain production conditions, we could observe a repetition, which does not mean the same, and a shifting resistance in which an individual and collective memory is shown in the game of paraphrase and polysemy. By artistically constructing and formulating an identity discourse that is his and that also belongs to all Pedros – men, young, black, poor, excluded – he makes work an imaginary constructed in a peripheral capitalist social formation, forged in memory of a colonized, sexist, slave-owning country, and, at the same time, one of struggle and resistance.
