Abstract

This thesis proposes a study on the racial issues within the current Brazilian football scene from the oral life stories of some black men that played between 1970 and 2010. The text is composed of three parts: the first one presents the history of the project, highlighting theoretical and methodological discussions; the second one shows seven narratives corresponding to the webs of: football players, coaches, referees, directors of football clubs, fans, journalists and intellectuals; the third one develops interpretations taking into account the set of oral documents obtained. This last part reveals thematic axes that seek to articulate individual experiences with the collective ones and to delineate the specifics of each considered occupation. The aim is to contribute to the academic debate by absorbing these black men speeches and by reflecting on the racial relations in Brazil, having as a starting point the experiences and memories of such people in our football.
