Não é só futebol: uma análise dos laços de afetos que envolvem os torcedores do Clube do Remo

Abstract

In this dissertation I propose an ethnography of intersubjectivity, that is, an analysis of communicative sociocultural processes with the objective of understanding the sensibility and production of "sensitive" senses involving the fans of the Clube do Remo soccer team, from an affective and collective Love, joy, pain, excitement, anger and, at times, disappointment are some of the feelings shared, affectively, by the crowd and fundamental for understanding the processes of sociality that surround them. Based on a dense ethnography (Geertz, 1989), I verified the relationship between intersubjectivities and socialities as a social practice of collectively living emotion. This methodology allowed greater freedom between the researcher and the interlocutors because of the possibility of experiencing, observation and interaction. The very perception to a look, a gesture, a smile helped in the intended understanding and, thus, everything became relevant during the research. The choice of doing an ethnography using as object of study the rowing of the Rowing Club, focusing on the bra bar Shirt 33, occurred for singular reasons. The bar has the premise of not having the bureaucracy of the organized, has a strong presence on the internet and accompanies the Remus in any modality that he is participating, including in the amateur sport. Through ethnography it was possible to establish a direct relationship with social markers of difference and to notice that the crowd is characterized by being middle class, a good part of the members, are young and university. In this sense, in order to analyze the relations that soccer evokes during games, and beyond them, I have used the phenomenology proposed by Alfred Schutz (1967) and made possible the categorization of the typifications engendered by the fans in order to understand experiences experienced by them in their daily life, and therefore social practices that reflect the communicational dimension of the intersubjective process, focusing on the sensitive dimension of social interaction. In this way, I have verified how affection, taste, ethos and empathy are typified and are present in the everyday social life of the cheerleader. To do so, I discuss with a theoretical-methodological perspective with a focus on the intersubjectivity perspective in which I use concepts from Alfred Schutz, Arlei Damo, Gilberto Velho, Michel Maffesoli and Roberto DaMatta.
