On match days, the appropriation of territories by fans may expand beyond the interior of football stadiums, occupying their surroundings. We conducted an ethnographic research in order to understand the appropriation of the surroundings of the Arena do Gremio, in the periods before fans' entrance in the stadium, as well as to describe aspects of the lives of residents and non-residents around the stadium. We consider that the territory around the Arena on match days makes up the lives of residents of surroundings, other neighborhoods in Porto Alegre/RS, and nearby cities and states. They are Gremio supporters, rivals, allies, car watchers, garbage collectors, street traders and other subjects who relate to each other. The territory is constituted in the nuances of its ambiguities, in the multiplicity of interrelationships of sociability and commercial relationships, meanings and belongings inherent to the appropriation and domination of space, woven into multi-territoriality networks. |
