Abstract

This work aims to investigate the nature of the relationship between “Torcidas Organizadas” and directors of the football´s clubs. F or this an ethnography was produced having as object of analysis the crowd “Young Flu”, of Fluminense, That ethnography took 1 year to be prepared, in which involved travel , interviews , friendships , dangers and a new vision about football. Football should be seen as a "total social fact", where the concept by Anthropologist Mauss (2003), wich the social are only real if that´s integrate a system. All the meaning of one society are resumed in all: total in the sense that society includes all human phenomena of economic , cultural, political, religious , among others , with no prior hierarchy . Whole, in the sense that the nature of the goods produced by community members is not only material, but particularly symbolic. “Torcidas Organizadas” are legal institutions, they are legally registered in government, not being clandestine groups. The “Organizadas” uses symbols as flags, banners, and “bandeirões”. Recivieng for free a quota of tickets, Tickets to the hands of the fans become a form of self-financing, a symbolic economy of tickets, we could include in this list as well the social events and activities like travels, where twisted also remunerate, sales material symbols using the free licensed club form. If so show true income profit generating enterprises. Suggesting a market relationship between “Torcidas Organizadas” and the club boards, this can be understood as informal. Being a member of a “Torcida Organizada” confers rights, a sense of belonging different from others. Being part of this group creates bonds of solidarity , cooperation and distinction before the other, it is assumed a commitment with face, but in bleachers everyone are welcome to support.
