The objective of this article is to investigate the crisis of center-periphery dichotomy associated with the emergence of cultural initiatives in the Brazilian urban periphery. The center-periphery dichotomy that has been developed in Latin America as an attempt to explain the accelerated growth / disorganized and the place of the working classes away from the possibility of housing near the core of the metropolis, has undergone several changes over the past 50 years. The investigation of these changes and the renewed consideration of the social actors, leads us to notice the emergence of a youth cultural production and consequent decompression of peripheral imagery legacy to those regions, linked exclusively to the poor in its various dimensions. What changes, also the political scene, with questions and demands different from the traditional. The intention here is to analyze the effectiveness of these policies in the social reproduction of youth peripheral Brazil, taking case specific sociological analysis conducted through contact with young people from Nova Iguaçu / RJ. The central focus is the production of analyzes that advance the understanding of what changes and / or remains in relation to the urban periphery / youth in the conceptual and contextual levels, in your face progressive and perverse, given the multiplication of different expressions in these urban and sociocultural spaces of the metropolis.
