Based on conceptions about language, urban technologies and narratives consummated within everyday life interactions, we problematize the cultural practice of narration in the urban context. We present the analysis of the data gathered during a research developed in the city of Santa Maria, Brazil, involving the collection and analysis of images and conversations with car drivers, as well as readers of car stickers, popularly known as "happy family" stickers. Among other findings, we observed that "happy family" stickers, strategically applied on the bumpers of cars, instigate several enlightening meaning processes of individual and collective forms of self and hetero identitarian narrative in the urban context.
Neste texto problematizamos a prática cultural do ato do próprio sujeito se narrar no contexto urbano, partindo de conceções sobre a linguagem, as tecnologias urbanas e as narrativas realizadas nas interações da vida quotidiana. Apresentamos uma análise das observações recolhidas numa investigação realizada na cidade de Santa Maria – RS – BR, envolvendo recolha e análise de imagens e conversas com condutores de veículos e leitores dos autocolantes de carros, popularmente conhecidos como ‘stickers da família feliz’. Entre outras conclusões, verificamos que os autocolantes da “família feliz”, colocados estrategicamente nos para-choques dos carros, instigam vários processos de significação elucidativos de formas individuais e coletivas de narrativa auto e hétero identitária, em contexto urbano.
