A marca no corpo: futebol, tatuagem e educação

Abstract

The object of this study is the soccer fan tattooed with the imagery theme that represents the team or the fans. A process that brings with it mediations of denial of the subject, constituting it as object, where the creature dominates the creator, in which the individual invests the constitution of his identity in the team and the group of fans. Therefore, we asked: how does group membership mark the body of soccer fans? In this way, our objective is to understand how the body is constituted as the object of the group's membership in the soccer field, identifying the culture and social processes involved and expanding, from a critical analysis, the educational possibilities, mainly emancipatory, contained in the object of this research. We grasp two sets of determinations acting simultaneously and interlaced in this embodiment of the supporter. One with traditional and cultural elements, reaching the deepest emotional dimension of the supporter, and another with elements of modernity, apprehended in the rupture of the man-body unity and in the preponderance of the object over the subject. In addition, we understand that this studied phenomenon is multifaceted, involving political, economic, social, historical, cultural and educational issues, in which modernity presents the most determinant set of determinations.
