Imagens do futebol como lazer em Rio Tinto: a pelada de Zé do Opala

Abstract

This work aims to approach football as a source [practice] of leisure and sociability in the city of Rio Tinto-PB. A search of images for the formation of the collection of the imagery of the Laboratory of Visual Anthropology Campus IV was the starting point of this research. Dozens of photographs of football teams, belonging to the private collection of photographer Hildebrando Domingos, formed the basis for the development of an ethnography using images for elicitation, observation and analysis. The "Pelada of the Riverside" or "Pelada of the Zé do Opala" was the main event observed (with use of photographs and video) to enable us to understand the habits of the agents involved, their lifestyles and practices of leisure and sociability. From the research material collected was also produced a short video that visually demonstrates the main aspects of the phenomenon discussed in this monograph.
