Apesar de a tradição oral se referir ao início dessa prática em épocas anteriores, os primeiros registros históricos foram encontrados a partir do século XVI, e em maior quantidade a partir do século XVIII nas cidades do Rio de Janeiro, Bahia e Recife. A prática da capoeira em território cearense é recorrente, com mestres reconhecidos local, nacional e internacionalmente pelo trabalho desenvolvido. Registrar a história de vida daqueles que protagonizaram o ensino da capoeira em instituições formais de ensino do Ceará foi o objetivo central deste estudo. Objetivos específicos: contribuir com o debate da educação na capoeira e da formação profissional na capoeira, além de levantar dados sobre a história da capoeira no Ceará. Os selecionados para participar desta pesquisa foram José Renato de Vasconcelos Carvalho (mestre Zé Renato) e os quatro mestres que formou durante experiência pedagógica no Centro Social Urbano Presidente Médici, na década de 1970- José Ivan de Araújo (mestre Zé Ivan), João de Freitas (mestre João Baiano), Everaldo Monteiro de Assis (mestre Everaldo Ema) e Jorge Luiz Natalense de Sousa (mestre Jorge Negão). Foi utilizado o aparato metodológico da história oral e, mediante a história de vida dessa primeira geração de mestres, pôde-se reconhecer que a intensidade da vivência prática do lazer, do esporte e da arte na prática da capoeira constituiu um significado determinante na vida dessas pessoas, que passaram a desempenhar atividades pedagógicas em distintos locais da cidade de Fortaleza e a formar outros grandes capoeiristas do Estado. Pôde-se, então, reconhecer personalidades e instituições importantes que promoveram a evolução e perpetuação da capoeira no Estado.

[pt] Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal a identificação dos fatores que impedem ou restringem o consumo de atividades de lazer infantil, adotando como base o modelo de restrições ao lazer desenvolvido por Crawford, Jackson e Godbey (1991). Com a finalidade de entender como se dá a escolha do lazer infantil e identificar as restrições existentes, foram pesquisadas mães pertencentes a diversas gerações. Esta abordagem foi adotada pois estudo pretende investigar possíveis diferenças de atitudes frente às restrições ao consumo do lazer infantil pelo target pesquisado. Os dados foram coletados através da utilização da metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas em profundidade e grupos de foco. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que não existem fortes restrições por parte das mães no consumo de atividades de lazer de seus filhos. As barreiras intrapessoais não apresentaram importância significativa para este target. No entanto, independentemente da geração a que pertence a mãe, foram encontrados fortes indícios de barreiras interpessoais e estruturais que se constituem em um importante objeto de estudo, uma vez que impactam diretamente a vida familiar e social da população em geral. As conclusões deste estudo objetivam contribuir para a formulação de estratégias de empresas pertencentes à indústria do entretenimento, bem como subsidiar estratégias de atuação do governo no que tange a investimentos ou financiamentos de projetos de entretenimento para o público infantil. / [en] The purpose of the present study is to identify the factors that prevent or restrict the consumption of children`s leisure activities. In order to achieve the proposed objectives the Constraints to Leisure model developed by Crawford, Jackson and Godbey (1991) was used. To better understand how the Children s leisure decisions are taken and to identify its associated constraints mothers of several generations were chosen as subjects to participate in the field research. This kind of approach was selected as way a to identify different attitudes concerning the topic among the target. The data was collected through qualitative research methodology, using as tools focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results demonstrated that the constraints identified did not represent an issue for the mothers while engaging in leisure activities with their children. The intrapersonal barriers haven`t shown any relevance for the target. However, all mothers interviewed, regardless of their age, pointed out various interpersonal and structural barriers that can have a direct impact in their day-today lives, concerning both family and social aspects. The findings achieved in this study are relevant to help companies in the entertainment industry to build more accurate and efficient marketing strategies and also to help the government by providing information that could support decisions concerning investments and financing projects related to the kids entertainment.

In this thesis I would like to focus on the motivations which lead adolescents to physical activity in leisure time (from the perspective of an individual's perspective, socialization of individual's in the peer group and looking at physical activities as one of opportunity for active leisure)As adolescents we will count a youth from 15 to 18.

Demographic statistics show that nowadays a proportion of seniors is increasingly growing in our population. Therefore it is very important to pay close attention to this group. The threshold age of sixty-five years is mainly associated with a longer retirement age. This turn occurs from day to day when a person has got a much more leisure time and must to cope with it in some way. I focused on the lifestyle, favourite activities and the greatest fear of people over 65 years in my diploma thesis. The thesis concentrates to an interconnection of the lifestyle with the health and the state of health of an individual. The research sample consisted of thirty respondents from the districts of Mladá Boleslav and České Budějovice. The respondents were approached by a random selection. Fifteen respondents, nine women and six men were from the district of Mladá Boleslav, ten women and five men were from the district of České Budějovice. There were established quota criteria - the age over 65, the residence in the district of Mladá Boleslav or in the district of České Budějovice and a willingness to take part anonymously in the research too. The research in the given areas took place in the months from December to March and in various environments: in libraries, shopping centres, traffic means (train, bus) as well as in streets of towns and villages. The results were processed in form of thirty case studies which were written in three areas: the identification, health and lifestyle and leisure time. Transparent tables were developed from the case studies. The interviews show that among the most favourite seniors´ activities belong reading of books, newspapers and magazines, watching TV and doing crossword puzzles. These three the most often and the most favourite activities were indicated both by respondents from the district of Mladá Boleslav and from the district of České Budějovice as well. The respondents´ greatest fear is of their health, it is followed by the fear of losing their children. These two concerns appeared on the top places at both of the groups of respondents. The third frequent fear was mentioned as a concern about the household in the district of Mladá Boleslav and the fear of the loneliness in the district of České Budějovice. Eleven of the thirty respondents said, that they have no fear (five in the district of Mladá Boleslav and six in the district of České Budějovice). The practical part also showed that cultural and social events are attended by nineteen from the thirty respondents, eleven of them do not take part in any events, most commonly for the reason of a poor state of their health or for the reason they do not want it at all. Eighteen respondents participate in sporting events, actively only four of them, twelve respondents do not attend any sporting events. None of them studies Academy or University of the Third Age and seems to be interested in studies. Only two seniors from the district of Mladá Boleslav are members of the seniors´ club. Differences in the lifestyle, favourite activities and the fears between the districts of Mladá Boleslav and České Budějovice are minimal. Following hypotheses can be drawn on the basis of the research, though it would be advisable to check them on a larger number of respondents. ?Seniors´ lifestyle is largely influenced by the state of health.? ?Especially the concern about the poor state of health belongs to the most frequent mentioned seniors´ fears? ?Mainly reading of books, watching TV and doing crossword puzzles belong to the most favourite seniors´ activities.? The diploma thesis could be used as a support of the healthy lifestyle and at the same time it could be used for an expansion or implementation of leisure-time activities for seniors from the districts of Mladá Boleslav and České Budějovice at the age group of people over 65.

Esta tese, Corpo do lazer: reflexões a partir da vida lesada na hipermodernidade, representa um exercício de reflexão e investigação acerca do lazer como um fenômeno psicossocial na atualidade. Enquanto reflexão, parte do corpo como centro de gravidade da subjetividade, tomando como referenciais epistemológicos alguns teóricos da primeira geração da nomeada Escola de Frankfurt, a psicanálise freudiana e estudiosos franceses que denominam a atualidade de hipermodernidade. Outros pensadores também permearam as reflexões, principalmente aqueles que viabilizam o viés crítico argumentativo. Já como investigação, um material de campo no formato de folder teve suas construções discursivas em torno do lazer destacadas, constituindo, assim, o corpus de análise da pesquisa documental de cunho qualitativo. Neste trabalho, a reflexão e a investigação se complementam na compreensão da articulação dos dois eixos principais, as esferas do desejo e do mercado, entrelaçando a noção de corpo do lazer em tempos hipermodernos e, deste modo, buscando questionar a hipermodernidade como produto e cenário em que a existência humana é prejudicada nas partículas elementares de uma vida justa, isto é, lesada nos mínimos modos de ser e estar no mundo. No âmbito do entretenimento, a vida lesada é percebida como sofrimento psicossocial e subjaz nas artimanhas sutis dos lazeres mercadológicos em expansão na hipermodernidade. Este cenário produz novos processos de subjetivação, decorrentes também das práticas de lazer atuais voltadas para consumo, e, com isso, o lazer adquire valor de troca na realidade hipermoderna. Como o corpo está no centro da cena hipermoderna em expansão nas cidades, ele é o foco dos processos de subjetivação deste estudo. Para tanto, o corpo é abordado nas noções tragicômico e erótico-narcísico, além de outros desdobramentos, no intuito de situar o corpo do lazer. A fim de explorar a temática, serão apresentadas reflexões a partir de conceitos do lazer, da inauguração do lazer na modernidade, além de análises de como ele está inserido atualmente nos mecanismos mercadológicos regidos pela lógica econômica a fomentar a indústria do entretenimento para atender os anseios humanos por prazeres como rotina dos sentidos e das sensações voltados para o corpo. Como exemplo desse cenário, elegeu-se a Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro (RJ), como espaço urbano para a realização da pesquisa, pois neste bairro a realidade hipermoderna pode ser espontaneamente verificada. Como aspectos conclusivos, o corpo do lazer demonstra ser, por um lado, o alvo dos interesses mercadológicos pautados na lucratividade e com metas a incrementar o viver no tempo supostamente livre, baseado na emotividade e estados de felicidade. Por outro lado, o corpo capturado está na condição reduzida e fragmentada pelas mesmas estratégias instrumentais do capitalismo especulativo que fomentam modos de subjetivação baseados no consumo e nos prazeres efêmeros. No entanto, esse processo ocorre com o consentimento do sujeito afetado por essas estratégias, da mesma forma como este mesmo sujeito também afeta e determina tais estratégias e, assim, produz seus efeitos nos esquemas mercadológicos. É neste interstício entre o sujeito e o mercado que percorrerão as reflexões desta tese. / This thesis, Body of Leisure: reflections from an injured life in the hypermodernity, represents an exercise of reflection and investigation about leisure as psychosocial phenomenon nowadays. As a reflection, part of the body, as gravity center of subjectivity, takes epistemological reference from some theorists of the first generation of Frankfurt School, the Freudian psychoanalysis and the French scholars who named the present time as hypermodernity. Other thinkers have also permeated these reflections, mainly those who enable the argumentative critical bias. Therefore, as a matter of investigation, a field material in a folder format had its discursive construction around leisure outlined; which forms the analysis object of the qualitative and documental research. In this thesis, the reflection and the investigation complement each other in the comprehension of the articulations of the two main axes, the desire and market spheres, intertwining the notion of body of leisure in hypermodern times, and, in this way, seeking to questioning the hypermodernity as a product and scenery in which the human existence is damaged in its elementary particles of a fair life, which means, damaged in the minimal modes of being and staying in this world. In the field of entertainment, the damaged life is perceived as psychosocial suffering and underlies in the subtle tricks from the marketing leisure activities in expansion in the hypermodernity. This scenery produces new processes of subjectivation, which are also a result from the current leisure practices aimed to consumption, and, for this reason, the leisure acquires trade value in the hypermodern reality. As the body is in the center of the hypermodern scene in expansion among cities, it is the focus of the subjectivation processes for this research. In this way, the body is approached with the tragicomic and erotic-narcissistic notions, besides other developments, in order to place the body of leisure. As a way to explore the thematic, will be presented reflections from the concept of leisure, the initiation of leisure in the modernity, and also the analysis of how it is currently inserted in the market mechanisms orientated by the economic logic which foster the entertainment industry to fulfill the human desires for pleasure as a routine of senses and sensations turned to the body. As an example of this scenery, Barra da Tijuca, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, was chosen as the urban space to perform this research, because, in this neighborhood, the hypermodernity can be spontaneously verified. As the conclusive aspects, the body of leisure, on one hand, seems to be the aim of market interests focus upon profitability and its goals to increase life in the supposed free time, based on emotionality and states of happiness. On the other hand, the captured body is in a reduced and fragmented condition for the same instrumental strategies of speculative capitalism, which encourages modes of subjectivation guided by consumption and ephemeral pleasures. However, this process occurs with the agreement of the subject affect by these strategies, in the same way as this subject itself can affect and determine those strategies, and so, produces its effects in the market schemes. The reflection of this thesis will take place in this gap between subject and market.

This thesis examines women’s everyday experiences of leisure in two neighbourhoods of urban Turkey, drawing on qualitative data derived from interviews and observations with women living in the city of Bursa. By examining the relationship between women’s leisure and their labour, everyday mobility, and socialisation at a neighbourhood level, the thesis contributes to contemporary debates on leisure within the wider feminist literature, as well as to the current growing interest in everyday life in Turkish social science literature. Examination of the feminist literature on women’s leisure suggests that contextualising leisure within the structure of women’s everyday as a whole is fundamental to an understanding of their leisure. The more contemporary feminist studies on women’s leisure focus on how to understand the dynamic and ever-changing nature of power struggles between different groups, with different capitals and identities, in a specific context. The newly emerging studies on women’s leisure within different country contexts, outside of the North American and European sphere, foreground the necessity to embed leisure experiences within socio-cultural aspects of the context, where additional dynamics, such as the role of religion or the meanings attributed to family and individual independence may significantly differ from Western societies. The current thesis builds on and expands these later works by projecting the empirical focus on Turkey and thereby shedding light on the relevance and limitations of the existing literature in explaining women’s leisure in other contexts around the world. It critically engages with the existing research on (women’s) leisure in Turkey, which is scant and embodies certain limitations. The findings presented in this study illustrate that the prevailing gender order, which confines women to the ideals of the heterosexual family, plays a central role in regulating leisure behaviour. Class, particularly, gives shape both to the existence of leisure spaces in one’s neighbourhood and constructs the “respectability” of social behaviour differently. The thesis makes an original contribution to the existing feminist leisure research in terms of rethinking traditional assumptions about leisure, broadening the definition of leisure and highlighting the significance of local cultural context. It also makes an original contribution to research on gendered everyday in Turkey by evidencing the usefulness of the concept of leisure as a lens to investigate the urban everyday, beyond the dichotomies of work time, free time, workspace, family space, production/consumption etc.

The dissertation work focuses on leisure time as an important aspect of seeking higher values like beauty, goodness and the importance of meaning of life at the beginning of the 21st century. The aim of this diploma thesis is to find out whether young people of ages between 20 and 30 are able to perceive the values of beauty, goodness and the meaning of life in their free time. The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter defines the concept of leisure time and describes a brief history of leisure time. The second chapter deals with pedagogical trends based on existentialism and philosophy of education in relation to values. The third chapter classifies the values and expounds three specific values, which are essential for this work the beauty, the goodness and the importance of meaning of life. The fourth chapter describes the Czech society at the beginning of the 21st century with a focus on the values gained in the family and the society. The sixth chapter contains qualitative research, using a questionnaire with open questions that I then analyse and evaluate.

Este estudo volta-se para a temática do lazer e envelhecimento, tendo como foco os corredores de rua. Entre os diferentes níveis de empenho, em que o esporte pode ser praticado, este estudo trabalha com o grupo de praticantes de corrida de rua, que dedicam bastante tempo e esforço de forma sistemática nesta atividade. Foi eleito um grupo de corredores dentre uma numerosa lista de grupos de corrida de rua que se formaram nos últimos anos na cidade de Porto Alegre, capital do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Observações, conversas, fotos, troca de e-mails e outros dados foram coletados na intenção de buscar variadas perspectivas sobre os fenômenos observados. Com uma abordagem de caráter etnográfico, busca-se identificar, analisar e interpretar manifestações que indicam relações entre a prática da corrida de rua e o envelhecimento dos corredores. Essas práticas são entendidas como “lazer sério”, conceito proposto pelo sociólogo Robert Stebbins. Evidenciam-se no trabalho as formas com que são dinamizados aspectos do envelhecimento dentro de um grupo de corrida e suas relações com um contexto mais amplo. Essas manifestações são entendidas como “realizações”, e os processos dinâmicos, entendidos como “atualizações”, baseado no trabalho do filósofo Pierre Lévy. Formas de enfrentamento de adversidades, comunicação, dentre outras “realizações” apontaram para movimentos ambivalentes e interdependentes presentes no “lazer sério”. Estes orientam para novas possibilidades de envelhecimento, novos estilos de envelhecer. As principais “realizações” se manifestaram nas categorias de ironia, loucura, vírus, transgressão e volta, sintetizando formas com que os corredores lidam com a corrida e suas relações com a velhice e o envelhecimento. Dentro de uma tridimensionalidade composta pelas interações dos corredores dentro do grupo, com a sociedade e consigo mesmos, essas “realizações” revelam configurações criativas e inovadoras de aprender, ensinar e alterar a velhice e o envelhecimento a partir de estilos de envelhecer que surgem na prática do “lazer sério”. / This study turns to the theme of leisure and aging, focusing on the street racers. Between different levels of commitment, in which sport can be practiced, this study works with a group of runners, who devote considerable time and effort in a systematic way in this activity. He was elected a group of runners among a large list of running groups that have formed in recent years in Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul. Observations, conversations, photos, exchange e-mails and other data were collected on the intention to seek different perspectives on the phenomena observed. With an ethnographic approach, we seek to identify, analyze and interpret events that indicate relationships between the practice of road race and the aging of the runners. These practices are regarded as “serious leisure”, a concept proposed by the sociologist Robert Stebbins. Show up at work the ways in which aspects of aging within a runners group is related with a broader context. These manifestations are understood as “realizations”, and the dynamic processes, understood as “actualization” based on the work of the philosopher Pierre Lévy. Ways of coping with adversity, communication, among other “realizations” pointed to these movements ambivalent and interdependet at “serious leisure”. These guide for new possibilities of aging, new aging styles. The main “realizations” were manifested in the categories of irony, insanity, viruses, transgression and back, recapitulating the ways in which the runners deal with old age and aging. Within a three-dimensional composite by interactions within the group of runners, with society and themselves, these “realizations” show settings creative and innovative learning, teaching and changing old age and aging from aging styles that arise in the practice of “serious leisure”.
