AS ARENAS CONTEMPORÂNEAS COMO PARADIGMAS DAS PRÁTICAS TORCEDORAS, O CASO DO DISPOSITIVO ARENA MRV

Resumen

The objective of this article is to discuss the phenomenon of stadium arenaization, considering football arenas as communication devices, analyzing the potential of these spaces to generate hyperstimulation for fans and, consequently, change the dynamics previously experienced in the stands in favor of maximizing profits. To this end, the concept of “device” is discussed based on Michel Foucault, linking the term to discussions guided by communication researchers, such as Braga and Melgaço. The study is part of a broader dissertation research that analyzes the MRV Arena as a device of controlled hyperstimulation.
