This article discusses the connection between urban poverty and social inequality, based on ethnographical studies in the city of São Paulo. We start from the statement that there are actual improvements in the material conditions among the population considered poor, but the reproduction of social distances stay untouched. Based on a comparison of three different cases, we try to discuss a few social mechanisms that are in the origins of this variation between relief of poverty and reproduction of inequalities.
Este artigo discute a articulação entre pobreza urbana e desigualdade social com base em estudos etnográficos realizados na cidade de São Paulo. Partimos da constatação de que estão em curso melhorias materiais entre a população considerada pobre, mas isso não afeta a reprodução das distâncias sociais. Por meio da comparação de três pesquisas etnográficas, propomos sistematizar e discutir alguns mecanismos sociais comuns que geram essa oscilação entre atenuação da pobreza e reprodução da desigualdade.
