O lazer no cotidiano: práticas coletivas como resistência
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-12) MENDES, Francivaldo José da Conceição; AMARAL, Márcio Douglas Brito
This paper discusses the notion of the city, of everyday life, with a central focus on the occurrence of leisure. In that contexto the leisure is understood as a set of human practices experienced in a free and differentiated time that coexists temporally and spatially in different societies. The objective is to demonstrate that in different spatial contexts there are various practices that, despite being considered litte important, constitute significant content of urban social life. These leisure practices exist because they re-exist to an irreducible logic of power. In other words, they are expressions of social daily life that are not captured by the technical rationality of urban forms and that are dissociated from a pattern that is based on consumption and the ephemerality of social relations. The reflection proposed here starts from a bibliographic review combined with repeated field observations that took place in cities in the Amazon and other regions of Brazil. In spite of the predominance of the abstraction of urban space, it was found that the subjects, in different times and spaces, maintain a sophisticated network of interaction and sociability whose materiality refers to spontaneous, non-rationalized practices, highlighting real paths to a city, a daily life , different for and for leisure.

Matando a fome de lazer "Lá no meu Setor": práticas e sociabilidades na periferia de Belém (PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-10-21) LOBATO, Flavio Henrique Souza; BAHIA, Mirleide Chaar; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6052323981745384; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7168-2019
Historically, through capitalist and eurocentric perspectives, concepts, practices and spaces proper to a hegemonic understanding of leisure have been developed, which legitimized conventional forms of what it would be, how it should be and in which spaces and times the practice of leisure should take place. In several public policies, these conceptions were established as the only possible leisure practices, favoring some people and neglecting many others. Hence, as a social convention, society began to consider leisure practices and spaces as excluding. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the leisure practices of the Bom Jesus I Community, on the outskirts of Belém (PA), considering the macro and micro contexts of analysis, based on the interaction and sociability processes of local residents. To make this study achievable, from a qualitative approach, bibliographical, documental and field research were used. In an exercise of ethnographic practice, informal conversations, participant observation, semi-structured interviews and records in a field notebook were carried out. The investigation was guided both by an "outsider and long distanced view", considering the structuring processes (macro perspective), as well as an “insider and close-up view" (micro perspective), focused on the "inversions" practiced daily, for the leisure of this population. To “kill the hunger for leisure”, the “discoveries” revealed that over the years different practical alternatives and sociabilities were created from the processes of interaction between local residents. It was also established that, often alienated by hegemonic understandings, this population cannot see or consider their daily experiences as leisure. The conversations, the "crazy rock", the "jogo do bicho" (a brazilian popular game of chance), football and the "picnic" are "forms of entertainment", characterized by very particular dynamics, full of purposes and meanings, which enable this “sector” to have fun, make itself exist and resist day by day

Pela margem da cidade: lazer, sociabilidades e controle social no subúrbio belenense em meados do século XX
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-02-23) GOMES, Elielton Benedito Castro; COSTA, Antonio Maurício Dias da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2563255308649361; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0223-9264
This research is focused on social history in the Amazon. It deals with leisure experiences and sociability of residents from suburban neighborhoods from Belém do Pará, in the middle of 20th century, specifically in the districts of Guamá, Condor and Jurunas, the three nearby the Guamá riverside. In addition to the interest on practices and perceptions from residents related to leisure and sociability, is also of interest the activity of public security officers dedicated to the control and repression of practices from local residents related to leisure events and entertainment. The historical sources accessed are newspaper clippings – available in libraries and public archives in Belém – chronicles and memory novels, that yield a version about the city in the past, as well as oral stories of men and women that used to live in the paraense capital in the middle of 20th century and have experienced the effervescence of the urban life in religious feasts, cabarets, Saint John‟s festivities, carnival associations, dance houses, among others.

Os traçados da cidade: a Belém da primeira metade do século XX
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-12) TEIXEIRA, Tatiane do Socorro Correa
This article aims to understand the traces of the city of Belém between the 40s and 50s. It intends to present the existing leisure places in the city, the urban space of the capital, constituted by a central, modern territory, marked by the remnants of the Belle Époque, by the big carnival clubs and territories with derogatory characterizations. Belém emerges as a plot where the threads are intertwined by social relations, cultural practices, being a city connected by flows and refluxes of people on a daily basis, which has in its cultural manifestations, like the carnival, a landmark in the neighborhoods and, consequently, in the city. Therefore, this multiplicity of spaces in the carnival of Belém includes the transformations that Belém underwent at the end of the 19th to the 20th century. Thus, we are discussing City from the perspective of Le Goff (1988), Ferrara (1999), Avelino (2009), Arantes (1999), Correa (2010).
