PARAENSE REGIONAL FOOTBALL CULTURE: Perception in School Physical Education Classes.

Keywords: Regional Football Culture, Hegemonic Culture, Northern Region, Football in Pará.

The promotion of a hegemonic football culture throughout Brazil is noticeable, idealized in the culture of the Southeast region, promoted by the institutions that organize national football, supported by the sports media, hiding the football culture present in other regions of the country. In my Physical Education classes in the metropolitan region of Belém (PA) involving football, it is possible to identify the reproduction by students of cultural aspects related to sports practice outside the Northern region of Brazil. We can consider that this occurrence is not a gain in meanings of football culture, but rather a replacement of football culture practices in the region, even resulting in a loss of part of this local culture. For this reason, this research investigates how the attempt to employ and consolidate a hegemonic culture in Brazilian football, in the case of the Southeast region of the country, reflects on students from other regions of Brazil, in particular the North region, state of Pará, city of Castanhal, which do not have teams from their region in the elite of Brazilian football and which did not receive/receive the same visibility by the dominant media, and analyze the current situation in the conception of football culture in Pará, through the statements and understandings of /of basic education students in the state of Pará, through the instrument and exploratory research of the questionnaire modality, with the data interpreted through thematic analysis and having as an educational product the production of a booklet on the culture of football in the State of Pará.
