Unidos pelo controle: uma etnografia das prÃticas de sociabilidades dos cyberatletas do futebol digital / United by the joystick: an ethnography of sociability practices among cyberathletes of the digital soccer

Daniel Costa Valentim 20 March 2012 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / O surgimento de jogos eletrÃnicos que simulam partidas de futebol em suportes tecnolÃgicos denominados de âvideogamesâ se apresenta como o principal desencadeador de prÃticas de sociabilidades de um grupo de pessoas na cidade de Fortaleza e em outras cidades do Brasil. Deste modo, pudemos constatar a concretizaÃÃo de uma complexa rede de campeonatos, alÃm do surgimento de uma nova categoria de agentes que se definem como âcyberatletasâ ou âjogadores profissionais de futebol digitalâ. Estes agentes se distinguem pela efusiva e intensa participaÃÃo em competiÃÃes e torneios âoff-lineâ de futebol digital. Em meados em 2005, estes jogadores iniciaram um processo de profissionalizaÃÃo desta prÃtica que culminou com a oficializaÃÃo de diversas AssociaÃÃes e FederaÃÃes de jogadores em distintos estados brasileiros. Em Fortaleza, estes agentes constituÃram a formalizaÃÃo de uma instituiÃÃo denominada de FederaÃÃo Cearense de Futebol Digital (FCeFD). Com o advento destas instituiÃÃes, pudemos notar o surgimento de um mercado de bens simbÃlicos oriundo da prÃtica intensiva desses atletas nesta rede de campeonato que denominamos de âcircuitos dos cyberatletasâ. Neste sentido, elaboramos nesta dissertaÃÃo uma etnografia das prÃticas de sociabilidades desses agentes, atravÃs desta busca frenÃtica por estes signos de distinÃÃo presentes no campo do futebol digital. / The emergence of electronic games that simulate soccer matches in technologically supported media called "video games" is presented as the main trigger of practices of sociability of a group of people in the city of Fortaleza and other cities of Brazil. It was then possible to observe the realization of a complex network of championships, and the emergence of a new class of agents who define themselves as âcyber athletesâ or " professional digital soccer playersâ. These agents are distinguished by effusive and intense participation in offline digital soccer tournaments. In mid 2005, these players began a process of professionalization of the practice that led to the formalization of various associations and federations of players in different Brazilian states. In Fortaleza, these agents were the formalization of an institution called FederaÃÃo Cearense de Futebol Digital (FCeFD). The advent of these institutions enabled us to notice the emergence of a market of symbolic goods originated among the intensive practice of these athletes in this network of championships that we call "circuit of the cyberathletes". In this dissertation, we developed an ethnography of the practices of sociability of the agents in question through this frenetic search for these signs of distinction present in the field of digital soccer.
