Lazer e favela: produção do conhecimento em periódicos especializados

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the academic production on the theme “Leisure and Periphery” inspecialized journals in the field of Leisure in Brazil. Based on this analysis, we will seek to observe, for example, whether the periphery has been treated as a place of absence or a space for cultural production. In addition, we will investigate to whatextent Leisure constitutes a right for the peripheral population, based on these publications. For that, a literature review was carried out, taking into account the journals focused on the field of Leisure in Brazil, which have Qualis Capes B4 or higher.The studies point to three main categories of analysis to understand the relationship between Leisure and the Periphery: “Leisure Equipment”, “Leisure Activities and Professional Training” and “Public Policies”. From these three categories, it was possible to observe that state intervention in the scope of guaranteeing the right to Leisure needs, above all, to be aligned with the communities' own demands, without, however, neglecting access to the historical and cultural heritage that needs to be guaranteed to the peripheral population.
