In order to have a better understanding concerning the subject, in the first chapter we try to show the transformations which have occurred in Natal and, consequently, within Natal sociability during the first half of the twentieth century. The bohemia, demonstrated in this dissertation as a way of sociability, expressed itself through the meetings in bars and the serenades. In the second chapter, the study conducted a mapping of the bohemian spaces (cafes, candy stores, bars and prostituition houses) and established the differences between these spaces. We ideated the spaces as the stage of interpersonal relations, as people went to these places in the attempt to participate of the conversation groups that were found there, choosing them according to their affinity and personal interests. The last chapter has the purpose of investigating the bohemia in Natal through the experience of the chronicler Newton Navarro, who used to roam the dark streets of Ribeira in search for open bars, extending bohemia until dawn. The intellectual activity was associated with his bohemian practices. As he frequented the marginal areas in Natal, Navarro wrote about them in the major newspapers of the city / O trabalho Cantos de bar: sociabilidades e boemia na cidade de Natal (1946-1960) tem por objetivo o estudo de uma representa??o da boemia liter?ria na cidade de Natal na segunda metade da d?cada de 1940 e na d?cada de 1950, por meio da an?lise dos livros de mem?ria e das cr?nicas dos jornais A Ordem e A Rep?blica. Para melhor compreender o tema, no primeiro cap?tulo buscamos mostrar as transforma??es ocorridas na cidade de Natal e, consequentemente, na sociabilidade natalense durante a primeira metade do s?culo XX. A boemia, apresentada nesta Disserta??o como uma forma de sociabilidade, expressava-se por meio dos encontros nos bares e das serenatas. No segundo cap?tulo, o estudo realizou um mapeamento dos espa?os da boemia (caf?s, confeitarias, bares e casas de meretr?cio) e estabeleceu as diferen?as entre esses espa?os. Concebemos o espa?o como palco das rela??es interpessoais, j? que os indiv?duos buscavam tais lugares para participar dos grupos de conversas ali existentes, escolhendo-os de acordo com suas afinidades e seus interesses particulares. O ?ltimo cap?tulo tem o prop?sito de investigar a boemia na cidade de Natal atrav?s da experi?ncia do cronista Newton Navarro, que percorria as ruas escuras do bairro da Ribeira em busca de bares abertos, estendendo sua boemia at? a madrugada. A atividade intelectual do escritor estava associada ?s suas pr?ticas boemias. ? medida que frequentava as ?reas marginais de Natal, Navarro escrevia sobre elas nos principais jornais da cidade
