THE MARACANÃ STADIUM: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN FANS’ SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT FOOTBALL’S OLD AND NEW PLACE

Abstract

Using prototypical analysis, this study compares football fans’ social representations about the Maracanã stadium before and after its 2010 remodeling. It found that the structures of the core and the peripheral system have undergone some changes in their composition due to the new space occupied by football, which imposed new practices and behaviors to fans.
