Tactical Schemes: football, territory and classes in Brasília – Disputes between 1960 and 2000
Brasilia’s History – Candango Football – Struggle of classes
Brasília is a city created under a planned segregating logic. Since its beginning, this formation was marked by constant expulsions from the Workers' residential areas in the central region of the capital. It is in these marginalized residential areas that the first candango cultural manifestations take place and, among them, football in Brasília.
From the expulsion of the central areas, segregated Satellite Cities emerged, spreading these manifestations. Football here presents itself as a strong field of dispute and one of the mirrors of the social and cultural formation of the Brasilia's working class.
This thesis aims to understand how this phenomenon influences the formation of the candango working class, in a context of consolidation of Brasília as a city and capital of Brazil. To this end, this project intends to analyze the relationship between political, territorial and football conflicts, which forge class spaces, through sports newspapers, territorial planning plans, documentaries, interviews and reports from State bodies.
