Contra-ataque: um documentário sobre a resistência na arquibancada

Abstract

The Course Completion Work - Experimental Project - “Contra-Ataque: resistance in the stands” comprises the production of a documentary presenting a narrative based on interviews with members of anti-fascist collectives from the Corinthians, Palmeiras, and São Paulo clubs, as well as researchers about football and politics. The work aims to produce sports journalism content to fans who believe in the coexistence of football and politics. This is done by proposing a reflection on the importance of fans in historical moments for democracy, in addition to considering football as an influence on the construction of Brazilian cultural identity. It involves the production of an expository documentary, which, according to Bill Nichols (2009), deals with elements of the historical and social context based on argumentation. In this sense, the question proposed by the documentary is: What is the relationship between football and politics from the perspective of anti-fascist fans? The methodology is based on the documentary production process proposed by Sérgio Puccini (2009), in which the structure of this type of product is worked on in three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. Bibliographical research was also used as a basis for methodological procedures, including the analysis of hegemonic media vehicles, documentary, and field research to build the product. The result is a 15-minute documentary that brings the point of view of the following fans and researchers: Micael Zaramella, Felipe Lopes, Matias Pinto, Dennys Oliveira, Graziela Massonetto, Leticia Pigari, Camila Cavalieri, Julia Belas, and Pamella Mazucatto.
