Esportes e lazer como instrumentos políticos da Era Vargas e governo Lula: aproximações e particularidades

Abstract

This Thesis has been developed to contribute to the political reflections about the leisure and sports. The understanding that there is conceptual confusion between them and the conviction that their ideological characteristics favor the use of these practices were instrumental in deepening these studies. Our understanding is that these activities are legitimated as social rights and, as such, should be included in the set of public policies are at the federal, state and municipal.However, here we reveal the contradictions that support the analysis of this central thesis. It is a fact that leisure and sports attended the programs of social policies from different Brazilian governments at different times, but, the role assigned to them is marked by the ideology of its proposed actions. This hypothesis could be proven in historical recovery that did this work.The main objective of the research was the analysis of Public Policy Sports and Leisure implemented by "Era Vargas" and Government Lula to establish comparisons between them and for this reason we are dedicated to these two historical periods, symbolic and permeated with political and social contradictions. Worred us the perception that two ideologically distinct governments do use the same instruments in dialogue with the working class.The contextualization of the governments of the two leaders staked out the analogy between them in the use of precepts developmentalist nationalists and populists. Although these approaches in more general levels have pointed coincidences relevant, the main finding of our thesis was the similarity in ideological use of leisure and sports, which confirmed our initial intuitions.While Vargas associate the concessions to labor rights programs Recreation Worker and the stimulation of national euphoria articulated with the Brazilian soccer team, Lula adopted explicit welfare, encouraged the spectacle of sports performance and provided the historical realization of Megaevents in Sports series in Brazil. In "Era Vargas" it was established leisure contributing to the domestication of bodies, sports to establish a harmonious relationship between rulers and ruled and football for the dissemination of the regime internally and externally. In the Lula government, realize the retraction of social policies on issues of leisure, sports programs, predominantly aimed at discovering talents and prioritization of sporting spectacle.We have analyzed leaves no doubt that the principles liberal of capital strengthening and increased profits, guiding the global economic policy and guide for the macro policy of the Lula government, were reflected in the definition of its Public Policy for Sports and Recreation, which in our understanding is summarized in implementation of Megaevents Sports
