ANÁLISE DA ORGANIZAÇÃO SOCIAL ATRAVÉS DOS QUILOMBOS E FAVELAS NA PERSPECTIVA DA OBRA BECOS DE MEMÓRIA DA CONCEIÇÃO EVARISTO E SUA RELAÇÃO COM O FUTEBOL

Abstract

Seeking to analyze a Brazilian social organization through the work “Becos da Memória” (2006), this research opted for approximate connections between quilombos, the development processes and their roots with a football history in Brazil. In places where violence and urban exclusion are prevalent risks, the memory and identity of a racial community are perceived through inclusive practices of football as a sport, and also as a means of social ascension. Football and the “Liga da Canela Preta” clearly distinguish the autonomy of these communities. In addition, it helps to maintain the effects of affection and recognition with which it can exhibit, with new ways of thinking and reproducing, in the midst of urban spaces, historically marked by variations in violence and cultural dererritorialization. Quilombo decimation processes are an example of how the dialectic of exclusion of Brazilian favelas and peripheries in the global world suffers from the new forms of extermination of its population. Football ends up exercising one of these possibilities to mediate those affected, cultural and economic, of great importance for black communities. These bus experiences bring a reflection on a thought beyond what is reproduced on these social environments.
