Abstract
Work is considered a basic dimension of human life that enables social practices of nature transformation, access to consumption and preservation of the institutional order. Each of these dimensions hints at an imminent practice that is as old as work: loitering. The aim of this study was to understand how the word vagabond was linguistically defined, with its practices codified by morality and subjected to legislation. Adopting an interdisciplinary and theoretical methodology, which had Social Psychology, it was verified as a result a historically constructed antagonism between working and wandering. We find in art an ally to problematize this antagonism, since in the art the theme is addressed directly, and can be practiced in everyday life without disqualifications. The research concludes that the moral evaluation of vagrancy tends to prohibit plural forms of existence at the same time that it mostly spreads the productivist capitalist way of being in the world.
