Soccer, Brazilian identity, racial representationsAbstract
The authors examined the social representations built on the “black race” and its contribution to the identity development of the “Brazilian way of playing soccer”. They investigated the anthropological literature of the subject and made semi-structured interviews with the coaches of juniors and the professional categories, asking them if they recognized any differences in how soccer is played in Brazil, according to different regions. The given answers update the tradition of "Brazilian-style" – the Soccer-art – that polarizes the Soccer-force. The justifications on aesthetics of the Brazilian style drew on the ideology of miscegenation and the participation of African Americans in this process.
