PELOTAS NATIONAL SWEET FAIR: INTERNETS BETWEEN GASTRONOMY AND LEISURE
<pre id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta" dir="ltr" data-placeholder="Tradução" data-ved="2ahUKEwjW2pKVioeMAxUzJrkGHQOyC8gQ3ewLegQICBAV" aria-label="Texto traduzido: PELOTAS NATIONAL SWEET FAIR: INTERNETS BETWEEN GASTRONOMY AND LEISURE This article proposes to discuss the interconnections between Gastronomy and Leisure, considering them as cultural practices that, especially in the public sphere, have privileged spaces for their concretization in events, here treated as gastronomic leisure. In the case under study, the gastronomic leisure practices are investigated at the National Sweet Fair [Fenadoce], an event that, since 1986, annually celebrates the sweets of the city of Pelotas, in Rio Grande do Sul. The Fair gives greater visibility to the local sweet culture - inheritances of Portuguese, French, German and Italian colonial matrices - in a space that, by selling Pelotas Sweets, associates the strengthening of social and identity ties with playfulness, if Leisure is understood as an experience rich in meanings and social interactions. The research is organized as a case study with a qualitative approach, focusing on Fenadoce, and data collection was carried out through the application of a structured questionnaire, with open and closed questions, applied to 192 attendees. The opinion on the confectionery, the festival and tourism was sought. The observation was limited to leisure aspects. The data collected indicate the relevance of treating gastronomic leisure, based on the conception as cultural practices, both leisure and culinary.">This article proposes to discuss the interconnections between Gastronomy and Leisure, considering them as cultural practices that, especially in the public sphere, have privileged spaces for their concretization in events, here treated as gastronomic leisure.

THE MECHANIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF WORKER EXPERIENCES
With the development of new technologies and their implementation in the labor market—marked initially by the Industrial Revolution in England—workers have experienced constant changes in their work experiences and labor rights. This study aims to analyze the impacts of the implementation of these technologies and the mechanization of processes on workers over the years, contrasted with leisure studies that indicate a positive relationship between the increasing mastery of technology in work tools and the increase in leisure time—non-working time—for workers. Initially, a general analysis of the impacts of mechanization on the labor market was conducted, which was then narrowed and specified to the field of tourism. To achieve this, a bibliographic review was conducted using databases such as Web of Science and Publicações de Turismo, as well as material collected over the years on the subject. The research revealed the consequences of mechanization for workers, in light of the ideals of constant improvement and its perpetuation as a tool for the precarization of labor, juxtaposed with the pursuit of capital appreciation and benefits.
"Leisure, Bodies and Cultural Studies" offers a critical and comprehensive analysis of the interactions between leisure, culture and identities, highlighting the need to overcome inequalities and oppressive norms in order to promote truly inclusive and transformative leisure.
The objective of this study is to promote the construction of the state of knowledge of scientific articles on skateboarding, youth, and leisure. The search took place on the Scielo and Google Scholar platforms, within the temporal scope of 2013-2022, using the following descriptors: "Youth"; "Young people"; "Leisure"; "Public space"; "Territory"; and "Skateboarding". The research corpus comprised 18 articles, whose data were extracted and organized into a database. The journal with the most published texts was Licere, with 03 articles. Half of the first authors held a doctorate, with the majority being male (n = 12). All works employed a qualitative approach and used interviews, observations, field diaries, and bibliographic reviews as instruments for data production. The most cited authors in the references of the texts were Leonardo Brandão, Giancarlo Marques, and José Guilherme Magnani. The dialogue spaces in the research refer to the presentation of skateboarding within its process of sportsification and to controversies regarding its transformation into an Olympic sport. Beyond the field of sportsification research, some of the works aim to understand and problematize the subjectivities of young skateboarders, their relationship with certain spaces, and their socialization within the community.
Adventurers, cool and tattooed: identity and differentiation of travelers in the universe of material culture
The body holds multiple meanings and serves as a significant means of communication in our symbolic universe. In the formation of representations attached to it, tattoos emerge as social codes linked to identities and the desired differentiations. Based on studies of communication and material culture, this research examines how marks etched on the skin, particularly those associated with travel, become records of experiences, builders of connections, and even objects with distinctive values. This study emphasizes the understanding of tattoos as tourist narratives and as accounts aligned with social status — as objects of material culture, body marks become souvenirs and, in the context of tourism, mementos. Thus, adopting a qualitative and exploratory approach, we analyze five publications from websites and blogs related to the themes under examination, aiming to shed light on these debates about subjectivities. The results indicate that the icons and texts on the skin seek to reveal an image associated with courage, freedom, and cosmopolitanism, and that this continues to have an influence on others.
DIAGNOSIS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN LEISURE IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT
The growth of leisure and its approach as a scientific field of study and intervention has advanced, producing new methods of training and practice in this field. With this in mind, the present investigation aims to diagnose professional training possibilities in leisure offered in the Brazilian context, analyzing the desired professional profile in formal education proposals, whether they are technical courses, technological undergraduate degrees or bachelor's degrees, and also to identify the contents covered, actions and practices that guide the curriculum of these three course modalities involving professional training in leisure. It was possible to notice that there is a dissonance between the government database, the national catalog and the active courses, as many listed courses are extinct according to the information collected on the institutions' websites. We noticed a wide range of options for leisure training in Brazil, which does not necessarily guarantee employability in the leisure field.
MASSIVE LEISURE: THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF AUDIOVISUAL-INDUCED TOURISM ON THE THAI BEACH OF MAYA BAY
O turismo induzido pelo audiovisual é o fenômeno decorrente da visitação de turistas em locais que foram utilizados para filmagens de obras audiovisuais, podendo gerar impactos positivos e negativos. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos negativos do turismo induzido pelo audiovisual na praia de Maya Bay, na Tailândia, após o filme "A Praia". A metodologia deste trabalho é de abordagem qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, realizando análise bibliográfica e documental. Os resultados indicam que, após a exibição do filme, houve um aumento expressivo no número de turistas, causando um turismo massificado na ilha. O overtourism na localidade gerou degradação ambiental, matando a fauna marítima, os recifes de corais e poluindo a praia, além do acúmulo de lixo deixado pelos turistas. Com isso a praia precisou ser fechada para visitação para recuperação ambiental. Portanto, para que o turismo induzido pelo audiovisual seja benéfico, deve ser pensado e planejado tanto pela indústria do audiovisual quanto pelos órgãos de governança do turismo.
BIO-LEISURE: PEDAGOGICAL GUIDELINES AS RESISTANCE TO THE MARKETIZATION OF EDUCATION AND ITS IMPACT ON ADOLESCENTS' POSITIVE MENTAL HEALTH
This article examines how educational policies in Latin America, driven by economic growth and productivity imperatives since the 20th century, have adversely impacted adolescents’ positive mental health (PMH). Through an ethnographic study conducted in a public school in Medellín, Colombia, it is evident that instrumental rationality and control-oriented pedagogy, along with standardized, quality-focused educational practices, negatively affect students' emotional and social well-being, reducing them to mere resources of the system. This approach has exacerbated the mental health crisis, leading to high levels of anxiety and psychological exhaustion among adolescents. As an alternative, bio-leisure is proposed—a pedagogy that challenges control-based practices and emphasizes leisure and student participation to bolster PMH. With guidelines that encompass curricular adaptation, emotional education, political participation, playfulness, physical education, and sports, bio-leisure aims to transform the school into a space of resistance and sociocultural connection. This proposal underscores the need for an education that addresses the essential needs of students, fostering a school environment that enhances their emotional well-being and a more humane, contextually relevant educational experience
This study aimed to identify the main focuses of articles on leisure published between 2000 and 2022. Content Analysis was employed to identify these focuses, and Pierre Bourdieu's concept of scientific field was adopted as a theoretical framework for data analysis. The results reveal a growth in the number of articles dedicated to leisure, with 29.87% focusing on groups and their leisure practices, 19.58% on theoretical-conceptual investigations, 14.78% on studies concerning leisure spaces/equipment, 7.14% on literature reviews, and 6.07% on leisure programs. It was also observed that the primary theme investigated is public policies related to leisure, and researchers tend to conduct accessible studies.
National scientific and technological production
This work seeks to reflect on the music that characterizes the Pampa as a region: the milonga. In particular, the milonga that takes place in the Río Grande del Sur region and in particular, in the city of Pelotas. Thus, we approach the music of the Brazilian composer Vitor Ramil to understand the geographical characteristics that are glimpsed in the lyrics and melodies of the eleven songs that make up the album Ramilonga – A estética do frio (1997). To do this, we base ourselves on the speech A estética do frio that Ramil gave at the conference in Geneva, on June 19, 2003, as part of the Porto Alegre, un autre Brésil program and on the documentary film A linha frio do horizonte (2014), directed by filmmaker Luciano Coelho.

VIVÊNCIAS DE LAZER DA PESSOA IDOSA EM UM PROJETO SOCIAL NA CIDADE DE MACAPÁ
This study aims to identify leisure practices in the lives of older people living in the city of Macapá and participating in the project “Quinta Feliz da Pessoa Idosa”, implemented by the Department of Sports and Leisure of the State of Amapá. The methodology combined bibliographic research with the application of a questionnaire. Seventeen older people participated in the study and the results showed that participants understood leisure as sociable practices that promote fun and integration with family and friends. Among the most common leisure activities, there was a preference for sports activities, followed by religious activities, shopping, and participation in cultural activities. Based on the results, it was possible to verify the barriers that prevent access to leisure, among which the lack of leisure opportunities, society, money and health problems stand out. This research has shown the need for more leisure policies for this audience to promote a life with more quality, dignity, health and well-being.
Due to the scarcity of studies aimed at understanding the possible impacts of using artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, in leisure ambit, this study aimed to analyze and measure the implications of content expressed about leisure in ChatGPT. The study had a qualitative nature, developed through exploratory research directly in the aforementioned chat. For data collection, six key questions were listed, directed to the main contents about leisure. Data were descriptively analysed through content analysis and the results indicate that the compilation of responses does not cover the range of leisure-defining content, leaving several important gaps already established in the specific literature on leisure.
INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN LEISURE AND EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE QUILOMBOLA COMMUNITY OF CURTUME IN JENIPAPO DE MINAS - MG
The practice life and everything that surrounds it are the two main elements in occupational therapists’ practice. Starting on this point, this paper has as mainly objective to understand how the activity of compose and sing verses is one of the most important characteristics in women who lives in Quilombola Community of Curtume in Jenipapo de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. For this paper, has been used a methodology with ethnographic characteristics, using the narrative method. It was observed that through the act of ‘creating and playing’ verses, the tradition of the Curtume Quilombo tells its story, showcases its culture to the world, and, somehow, keeps it alive. Verses emerge in different daily life activities. Playing verses, although a cultural activity of the quilombo, also holds significant power in confronting different life difficulties, whether they are material or social in nature.

EDITORIAL: LAZER E RELAÇÕES ÉTNICO-RACIAIS
Thinking about leisure based on the experiences and daily lives of indigenous peoples is a movement of stubbornness and political position. As educators mobilized in our daily work for an anti-racist and decolonial education, we chose to bring other voices to dialogue with us, in order to mobilize fissures in the daily thinking and doing of this society, which insists on relationships of erasure of the other that remains on the margins of social goods , cultural and economic. Our guest for this intercultural dialogue with colleagues and readers of the “Leisure Studies and Ethnic Racial Relations” dossier is the indigenous leader Karkaju Pataxó, an indigenous leader who has historically fought to educate young people and indigenous communities in the re-existence of from sport and leisure. We seek intercultural dialogue, which can potentially create fissures in the movements of subalternity, invisibility and coloniality, in conversation with the field of leisure studies under the meaning and meaning of the other, a meaning that inspires us to continue moving with the original peoples to learn -teach effective social practices for leisure and beyond sport, for good living!
The objective of this article is to present some reflections from an investigation, around a new cultural discourse called Pagode Baiano, which composes as part of black diasporic and emerges in contemporary as a curricular component to think about the educacion of ethnical racial relations at the training environment. Starting from the representations and ethnical racial songs produced by new musical styles that emerged from the 1990s in Bahia, drawn by black youths from the periphery, whose oral language, written and body differs from that pervaded by a history of colonization and becomes appreciating the musicality of African origin as a mean of cultural expression. Keywords: musicalidad negra, ocio, resistencia y Educación de las Relaciones Étnico-raciales
: musicalidad negra, ocio, resistencia y Educación de las Relaciones Étnico-raciales
The objective of this article is to reflect on the intersections that are built in the action of black women in Hip Hop in the city of Belo Horizonte, based on its dance element. I start from the initial notes of the doctoral research entitled WOMEN IN TRANSMUTED TRANSIT: Leisure, Hip Hop and emancipation in the Anjos D´Rua Project, of the Postgraduate Program in Interdisciplinary Leisure Studies, at UFMG. I intend to analyze the movements of five black and peripheral women between their home and the sociocultural project Anjos D'Rua, which has been operating in the scope of non-formal education for 20 years, offering classes for children, young people and adults, based on immersion in Hip Hop culture. I am interested in analyzing the processes through which women dancers experience and how they circulate in the city's public leisure spaces and how the latter responds to the circulation of peripheral black and LGTBQIA+ women. Analyzing circulation from black feminism through an intersectional lens, I seek to bring to the scene how issues of race, gender, sexuality and class demarcate the experience of black women in the Hip Hop scene in Belo Horizonte.

REFLECTIONS ON THE INVISIBILITY OF BLACK WOMEN IN THE SEXUAL LEISURE OF THE GUAICURUS AMUSEMENT COMPLEX IN BELO HORIZONTE/MG
With the aim of reflecting on the invisibility of black women in graphic pieces and their participation in the leisure environment dedicated to sexual practices at the Guaicurus Amusement Complex. This article seeks to present the dissemination of sex in leisure spaces in a large prostitution area in the capital of Minas Gerais. The analysis tool chosen to carry out this research were design techniques and visual elements (MUNARI, 2016). The graphic pieces analyzed were registered in sex establishments in the Rua dos Guaicurus region, in the period between September/2019 and January/2020. Therefore, to carry out this reflection, we used Joice Berth (2018) to articulate the concepts of power and empowerment; and Patricia Hill Collins (2019) with Black Feminist Thought to corroborate the analysis of the representations made of women in sexual services, especially black women in Brazil. At the end of the study, it was realized that there is almost no representation of black women in printing shops found in the Guaicurus region in Belo Horizonte - MG. In light of the authors mentioned and the data analysis, it was possible to see that the disclosure of sex, as it is carried out in this region, contributes to the erasure of the black body in visual communication and confirms stereotypes that stigmatize women.
Between trajectories of black lives and the production of knowledge in the field of leisure studies
Based on the premise that the podcast, as a media language, is a way of disseminating knowledge and training subjects in the field of leisure, the aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the life trajectories of black researchers, participants of the podcast 'Papo de Lazer com Angela Brêtas' with their training and performance in the field of Leisure Studies. For this, we used as a methodology the survey of episodes that had black participants, the listening of the episodes and transcription of the excerpts in which the participants narrated life experiences in which the racial issue was present. The training that takes place in the academic context and the experiences of black subject-bodies, permeating the recognition of blackness and leisure experiences, provides the professionals with a politically engaged performance and have the podcast as a virtual environment of encounter. The trajectories of black researchers reaffirm their commitment to rescuing silenced and invisible histories and cultures in academia and denounce the existence of epistemic racism as a debt that requires political and responsible treatment with the history of the Brazilian black population.
RELAÇÕES ÉTNICO-RACIAIS, MULHERES NEGRAS E VIDEOGAMES
This study aimed to reflect on ethnic-racial relations in video games, highlighting the approaches on the representativeness of black women characters. The study had a qualitative nature and was developed through exploratory and documentary research, focusing only on texts expressed on Google sites on the proposed theme. An intentional sample composed of the first 10 occurrences of sites on Google, containing expert opinions on video games and ethnic-racial studies, was part of the study. Data were analyzed using the content analysis technique, based on three categories delineated a priori, 1- black female supporting characters and/or protagonists; 2- importance and impact of video games for ethnic-racial discussion. 3- present racial stereotypes and suggestions for evolution. The results point to the consideration of video games as legitimate spaces for ethnic-racial reflections, as well as a slight increase in the representation of black female characters as supporting characters, but not as protagonists, and the responsibility of developers about the insertion of diverse cultures in the narratives. This theme is still not widespread, compromising the perspective of identifying black women with existing characters.

LEISURE AND RACIAL LITERACY IN AN EDUCATION CENTER IN THE MONTE CRISTO COMMUNITY IN FLORIANÓPOLIS
This article aimed to investigate the similarities and differences between leisure and racial literacy in an education center in the Monte Cristo community, in Florianópolis, from the perspective of educators who work in this space. The study was guided by Latin American epistemologies, drawing more specifically, but not exclusively, on black feminist epistemologies. From this perspective, we are proposing a decolonial effort, which requires whites and blacks to adopt a combative stance in the face of colonial legacies, such as racism. This is a descriptive and exploratory case study with a qualitative approach to the data. 18 professionals from the investigated context participated in the study, who responded to an online questionnaire prepared for this investigation. The data was analyzed using the content analysis technique. The results demonstrate the need to expand the concept of leisure from the perspective of educational practice. As a phenomenon that manifests itself in culture, leisure is not exempt from reproducing social evils and racial literacy seems to be an important ally in overcoming this characteristic. We conclude that in the context investigated, racial literacy contributes to leisure experiences, making them meaningful and socially located, being relevant for confronting structural racism.
The 17th and 18th centuries were marked by the launching of theoretical bases regarding the concept of tolerance that we understand today. The historical process was able to generate new problematizations and reflections, framing the theme in different areas of social life. The purpose of this study was to analyse current and recurring cases of prejudice, discrimination and persecution in football, with considerable journalistic repercussions, based on the contributions of classic and, mainly, more contemporary literature on tolerance, with emphasis on the Portuguese author Diogo Pires Aurélio. As an excerpt, three contexts for investigation were listed: the relationship between European football leagues and athletes who practice Islam; the act of punishing the victim who suffers from racist insults on the field; and finally, the strategy of maintaining a social order that favours those who hold power.
BLACK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AT FACULDADE DE EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA DA UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE CAMPINAS AND THEIR SOCIAL BARRIERS TO LEISURE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The Covid-19 pandemic has abruptly changed the daily lives of the world's population, including the way we experience leisure. Part of a broader study, this qualitative research aimed to analyze how social barriers manifested themselves in the leisure of black students at the Faculty of Physical Education of the State University of Campinas before and during the quarantine. We consider leisure a social right and a phenomenon that transforms culture. Then, a bibliographic and field research was carried out through semi-structured interviews. Before the pandemic, lack of time, the economic factor, symbolic barriers and racism were the most evident difficulties. The most cited social barrier in the quarantine was the lack of time and the difficulty of accessing spaces that limited leisure experiences, mainly related to physical-sports and tourist interests. Social and artistic experiences began to be carried out online.
QUANDO O RACISMO INCORPORADO É COLOCADO EM CAMPO NO FUTEBOL, AS AÇÕES RELATIVAS À HUMANIDADE SÃO CONVOCADAS AO JOGO
Football is considered a socio-cultural phenomenon, involving a significant participation of the population, contributing to the formation of the Brazilian identity itself, in addition to establishing itself, in some cases, as an element of organization of personal and family routines, considering the programming of games. As a leisure space, football, in recent years, has witnessed an intensification of social tensions, with regard to the context of racial discrimination, in which manifestations of violence occur in different situations. This text aims to contribute not only with reflections and discussions, but with future propositions that advance the implementation of public policies that deal with the instituted culture of violence and racism in football, disseminated and propagated, aiming at a transformation based on an education humanized. The text presents the theme about the culture of violence in football addressing the processes related to insults, in the football space, bringing a discussion regarding the dimension of the incorporated, such as what is considered as the body itself.
IS INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE A DECOLONIAL MATTER?
The article is a reduced version of the second chapter of the doctoral thesis, entitled “Encantaria e Imagem-spirit (utupë): a docufiction with the Tremembé indigenous people.” The article problematizes academically and scientifically the historical and social construction of indigenous knowledge, focusing on my experience as Tremembé. It is understood that indigenous knowledge is centered on their modes of existence: cosmogony, nature, orality, memory and dreams. The central issue is to understand the production of indigenous knowledge, as a practice of collective memory. It is also questioned whether indigenous knowledge can be considered indigenous decolonial knowledge. Decolonial Studies present a great contribution to the criticism of colonialism, in this present work I analyze how colonization imposed knowledge practices on the indigenous peoples of Brazil. Decolonial Studies emerges as a rescue to the knowledge of the indigenous and black people of Abya Yala, at the same time they produce epistemological resistance tactics. There is an influence of Decolonial Studies on our knowledge, but indigenous knowledge is marked by its own way of thought. The tradition of our thoughts is guided by our territory and the passing of knowledge from generation to generation. Indigenous people have their own subjectivity, which actively questions epistemological and political scopes for the collective elaboration of knowledge originating in Abya Yala, through memory, orality and dreams. In short, it is the practice of re-enchanting the world.
LEISURE AS A PROTAGONIST OF RESISTANCE AND FIGHT
Based on research on leisure for young people in Ouro Preto, this article presents reflections on the role of social memory, the intersectionality of race and social class, public leisure policies in tourist cities and leisure as a social right, seeking to what extent leisure practices can be protagonists of empowerment for the subjects crossed by the social markers of difference in a peripheral neighborhood of a world heritage city. Using action-research as a methodology, a festive and cultural day was developed as a mechanism for promoting leisure and re-appropriating the public space that has always been a “stage” for the expression of local culture and social interaction around the iconographic landmarks located in the neighborhood. Finally, it was understood that this festivity proposed as a moment of celebration, belonging and reaffirmation of the local identity rescued part of the collective memory that was erased and was able to contribute to rekindling the flame of the process of personal and social transformation of the community.
BOI-BUMBÁ SONGS AND EXPRESSIONS OF BLACK IDENTITY IN THE PARINTINS FOLK FESTIVAL
This article aims to analyze the Boi-Bumbá songs, relating them to themes of black identity and their influence on Leisure Studies. The methodology involved selecting nine songs and categorically analyzing their contents. The results revealed the significant presence of themes related to cultural resistance, valorization of identity and pride, celebration of diversity and inclusion, the fight for social justice and anti-racism, among others. The songs are identified as powerful artistic expressions that transcend entertainment, becoming instruments of resistance and social education. The conclusions point to the transformative potential of songs in valorizing black and traditional culture, combating structural racism, and promoting ethnic-racial awareness.
