Abstract

This study aims to discuss skating experiences promoted in Curitiba between 1879
(announcement of the first initiative) and 1916 (when seven skating places worked simultaneously). The
objective was to investigate its social dynamics, as well as the discourses of adherence to ideas of
civilization and progress forged around it, positions that presented indications of adequate uses of the
body and the adoption of good public behaviors. Our main questions are: a) how was the practice
structured (offering strategies, organizers, locals, frequenters)? b) what representations were conveyed
about it? The research sources were newspapers and magazines published in the city during that period.
We conclude that skating was seen as a possibility of educating the public regarding the acquisition of
chic postures, a notion linked to concepts of modernity that circulated with more intensely in the capital
of Paraná at the time.
