Abstract

This research aims to answer the following question: whether, to what extent, and how the laws and documents that support the current policies that aim to prevent violence in football events in Sao Paulo can be considered an ideological production, which establish and maintain domination relations? To achieve this purpose, the research will be structured in three stages: first, I will analyze the socio-historical context in which these laws and documents are produced, circulated and received. Second, I will analyze these materials formally or discursively, discussing their structural characteristics, patterns and relations. In a third moment, I will try to explicit the possible connections between the meanings mobilized by these laws and documents and the domination relations which characterize the context analyzed in the first stage. My interest in developing this research may be justified, among other things, by the fact that it allows the questioning of those security policies and the review of their initial evaluation, which is a key point for the reformulation of these policies and the creation of new programs and projects that aim to prevent violence in the football scenario.
