This article introduces reflections on the urban and socio-cultural changes happened in the city of Rio de Janeiro, capital of the Brazilian First Republic. The research objects and sources were the plays A Capital Federal and Guanabarina, written by Arthur Azevedo. In the last decades of the 19th century the city was taken by a modernizing wave that included not only the public spaces, but also the population’s sociability and cultural expressions. The analyses introduced here are derived from the master’s research entitled "The Arthur Azevedo’s Rio de Janeiro. A reading of the urban space in A Capital Federal and Guanabarina (1897-1906)”, carried out under the supervision of professor Jaime de Almeida (ppghis-UnB/ Brazil) and funded by CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior.
