Fifty Years of Fiel Gaviões from the Perspective of Social Psychology

Abstract

This article aims to understand new ways of perceiving organized fans, highlighting Gaviões da Fiel, during its fifty years of history, from the perspective of Social Psychology. At first, from a critical conception of the masses, perspectives are presented that highlight control such as Le Bon and possibilities of resistance through authors such as Baudrillard and Canetti. In a second moment, there is a brief discussion about political demands, powers and plural crossings of the organized fans of Gaviões da Fiel, giving visibility to such aspects through an exploratory methodology. It is concluded that a change in the way in which society and public authorities deal with organized fans is extremely important, considering that currently the collective demonstration in the stands comes up against numerous prohibitions by the government.
