Nightlife Consumption and Youth Sociability

This paper aims to demonstrate the relationship between economic logic and spatial practices in the field of nightlife in the city of São José do Rio Preto São Paulo. To this end we will present a discussion that addresses the concept of Youth Sociability in the context of Nightlife. Thus we seek to identify social subjects and their spatial practices their routes and the establishments they frequent. We conducted surveys and mapped commercial establishments that offer nightlife identifying their locational logic in order to identify areas where nightlife is present in the city. With this we were able to identify processes such as fragmentation and socio-spatial segregation as part of a market logic that permeates nightlife practices.
