Norbert Elias e o futebol brasileiro: reflexões sobre o passado, passado recente e perspectivando o futuro1

The aim of this study was to establish reflections on the recent wave of violence that occurred in Brazilian football, or more specifically, in the context of fans. Therefore, we set out to reflect on the events of a few games of football and its impact on the national and international media as the match between Atletico Paranaense and Vasco da Gama, in Joinville, in 20013. This event determined to Vasco relegation to the second division of Brazilian football. It is important to mention that the episode caused a series of interventions by the prosecutor, and the legal conflict betweenthese clubs and the entity that controls the national football, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The game was stopped and restarted after many discussions - extra field - involving the leaders of the CBF. This fact contradicted many people who have not found more atmosphere to the game. At this point, among other concepts of Elias (1992), we can say that the aspect “liberating excitement,” strongly highlighted by the German sociologist, that sports can provide, was completely unaffected, since the leaders had no sensitivity to the events, as well as the general climate that led to this barbarism.El objetivo de este estudio fue estabecer reflexiones sobre la reciente ola de violencia que ha ocurrido en el fútbol brasilero, o más especificamente, en el contexto de los fanáticos. Por eso, nos propusimos reflexionar sobre los acontecimientos ocurridos en algunos partidos de fútbol, y sus repercusiones en el ámbito nacional e internacional, como en el caso del partido entre el Atlético Paranaense y el Vasco de Gama en Joimville, en 2013. Es importante mencionar que este episodio provocó una serie de intervenciones por parte del Miniterio Público, asumiéndolo como un conflicto legal entre esos clubes y las autoridades que regulan el fútbol nacional (CBF). El juego fue detenido y se restableció después de varias discusiones -fuera del campo- ente los líderes del CBF. Esta situación afectó a muchas personas. En el documento se analizará estos fenómenos desde las concepciones del sociólogo alemán Norbert Elias
