In this context of favela as brand and product, in the turn of the millennium, some favelas were performed as tourist attractions and incorporated among the things to see in Rio (Freire-Medeiros, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0016718508001747\">2009<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.co.uk\/books\/about\/Touring_Poverty.html?id=U_Kw11JQrR4C&amp;redir_esc=y\">2013<\/a>). Considering that, nowadays, more and more favelas are &#8216;on the move&#8217; (Sheller and Urry, <a href=\"http:\/\/epn.sagepub.com\/content\/38\/2\/207.short?rss=1&amp;ssource=mfc\">2004<\/a>), in my thesis, I am looking into the process of making and remaking favelas as tourist attractions, unfolding the main actors involved, the networks that are built around favela tourism in Rio and the limits and extents of this process. In doing this, I intend to show how different favelas are mobilized going inside and outside the tourism system, identifying the inputs, outputs, nodes and locks of this process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>This presentation was given during the event \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/fass\/centres\/cemore\/event\/5507\">CeMoRe Showcase and Lunch<\/a>\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/fass\/centres\/cemore\/stories\/2692\/\">Camila Moraes<\/a> is a visiting student in the PhD Sociology Program at ¶¶ÒõAPPµ¼º½.
