Zusammenfassung:Walter Benjamin (1882-1940) was an unparalleled thinker in the history of critical thinking of modern culture in the first half of the 20th Century. His vast work branched across many diverse fields of knowledge, such as Philosophy, History, Literature and the arts. Plural and often perceived as marginal, criticised for his lack of commitment to academic rigour, his thought still resonates strongly in many fields of knowledge and contemporary practices. This paper attempts to establish the connections between Walter Benjamin and the practice of graffiti, which would thrive in great metropolises following the premature demise of the German author, still echoing central aspects of his thought with respect to construction and presentation processes.Keywords: grafitti; Benjamin; postmodernity; memory studies.Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) foi um pensador impar na historia do pensamento critico da cultura moderna da primeira metade do seculo XX. Sua vasta obra abriu tentaculos nos mais diversos campos do conhecimento (filosofia, historia, literatura e artes). Plural e muitas vezes visto como marginal, recebendo criticas pelo seu descompromisso com o rigor cientifico da academia, o pensamento deste autor ressoa com muita potencia em muitos campos de conhecimento e praticas contemporaneas. A tentativa deste trabalho e de estabelecer a relacao entre Benjamin e a pratica grafiteira, que conheceria seu boom nas grandes metropoles decadas apos a prematura morte de Benjamin, mas que nao deixaria de carregar aspectos centrais tanto do pensamento benjaminiano quanto de seu processo de construcao e apresentacao.Palavras-chave: grafite; Benjamin; pos-modernidade; memoria social.
