Introduction
I studied Social Sciences at UFAM between 2006 and 2012. During my undergraduate studies, I undertook mobility periods at the University of Porto, Portugal, as an Erasmus Mundus scholarship holder (2009-2010) and at UFRN, in 2011, through a Brazilian Mobility Programme. With the support of the Swedish Institute Scholarships, I became a Masters student at Lund University. In 2022, I completed a sociology PhD at Charles University in Prague. In 2024, I became a postdoctoral researcher at CEBRAP.

I am José. I was born in Manaus, and because of a hospital infection, I acquired septic arthritis in my right knee, which left me with one leg 10cm shorter than the other. Growing up with my mother as the only provider, I faced multiple surgeries before I even turned 18. I decided to 'quit' my medical treatments and study social sciences in Manaus....
Between 2017 and 2020, I embarked on a fieldwork journey that led me to follow Brazilian migrant futsal and football players in Central and Eastern Europe. As my fieldwork developed, I gradually understood that futsal and football could be thought as two interrelated sports. At that time, I set myself to understand how Brazilian migrant football an...
Does apartheid South Africa point to an emerging paradigm in international relations? Catherine Besteman dares us to raise this provocative question in her book Militarized Global Apartheid. While the question may seem counterintuitive because apartheid was considered a “crime against humanity” by the United Nations General Assembly in 1966, Bestem...
The year 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of a landmark book in sports migration studies, The Global Sports Arena: Athletic Talent in an Interdependent World, edited by John Bale and Joseph Maguire. Bale and Maguire established sports migration as a subfield of sports studies, first, by focusing on professional athletes as workers; second, by refram...
Sacrifice" is a common figure in the symbolic worlds of anonymous Brazilian migrant athletes. By emphasizing sacrifice migrant Brazilian players reveal important factors found in the contexts in which contemporary sports migration movements occur. When asked to think about their career trajectories, sports migrants frame their personal "sacrifice"...
“Dreams” and “sacrifices” commonly figure in the symbolic worlds of anonymous Brazilian migrant athletes. In mobilising these symbols, migrant Brazilian players reveal the contexts in which contemporary sports migration movements occur. When asked to think about their career trajectories, anonymous sports migrants frame their “dreams” vis-à-vis the...
This book takes a close look at the experiences of migrant athletes, their precarious careers, and at what this can tell us about wider themes of globalisation, identity, race, gender, and the body.
Based on in-depth ethnographic research on male Brazilian footballers and futsal players working in Central and Eastern Europe, this book helps to fi...
Jogadores brasileiros compõem a “força de trabalho global do futebol” como o maior grupo de migrantes do futebol contemporâneo. Pesquisas etnográficas anteriores revelam que os atletas brasileiros valorizam a possibilidade de cruzar fronteiras. Ao construir aspirações móveis, os atletas tentam incorporar uma forma de “masculinidade respeitável”. Em...
To demystify "failure", I decided to post here my failed applications too. My first post is an application to Marie Curie as a global fellow.
Rationale The book is about Brazilian football and futsal migration, and examines issues involved in athletes' migration routes, including religiosities, gender and relationships with injuries and pain. The book has a novel focus on athletes that have worked in Central and Eastern European leagues. The main argument is that Brazilian football and f...
Resumo: o seguinte trabalho buscará analisar a perspectiva de Virginia Woolf a respeito do lugar das escritoras mulheres no cânon literário e as formas sobre como Woolf aplicou estas concepções em seu romance Orlando: a biography (1928). Woolf apresenta uma perspectiva que não ignora as relações de poder que constituem o gênero dos escritores como...
Outside of Europe’s top football leagues, migrant athletes are often subjected to short-term contracts, poor housing conditions, isolation and the ever-present risk of premature career termination due to injuries. This thesis is a multi-sited ethnography on Brazilian futsal and football migrants in Israel, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Lebanon, and...
The relationship between sports, especially football, Brazilian national identity, and ‘race’, has received considerable attention. The hyper-visibility of football, however, obscures the relationship between Brazilian identity with another sport that was partially ‘invented’ in Brazil: futsal. This paper examines migrant Brazilian football and fut...
Brazilians comprise a “global football workforce” (Poli, Ravenel and Besson 2019) as the largest national group of migrant players in contemporary football. Previous ethnographic studies (Rial 2008, 2012) reveal that Brazilian athletes value the opportunity to move across borders. In constructing mobile aspirations, athletes from the Global South a...
Outside of Europe’s top football leagues, migrant athletes are often subjected to short-term contracts, poor housing conditions, isolation and the ever-present risk of premature career termination due to injuries. This paper is part of a current multi-sited ethnography on Brazilian futsal and football migrants in Central and Eastern Europe. It is b...
This article analyses Ruth Landes’ contributions to social anthropology based on a series of feminist, queer and postcolonial insights. Landes’ academic trajectory and her biography are used to understand her unique form of writing ethnographies. I try to show that “The City of Women” (originally published in 1947) does not follow classic anthropol...
Resumo: O principal objetivo deste projeto é pesquisar os processos de migração dos futebolistas brasileiros para a Europa Central, com foco particular na construção da masculinidade e no papel da religião. O foco nas experiências subjetivas dos futebolistas tem sido ignorado por abordagens estruturais que tendem a ver os atletas como commodities q...
Sports labour migration from Brazil to "Central" and "Eastern" Europe
The article analyzes Alba Zaluar's ethnography A Máquina e a Revolta [the Machine and the Revolt], confronting it with the fictional discourses of Paulo Lins' novel Cidade de Deus and the homonymous movie directed by Fernando Meirelles. In so doing, it seeks to discuss the ethical dilemmas of an anthropological investigation when confronted with th...
This is a presentation given at the Brasil Plural event, at the Brazilian embassy in Prague. I presented my way around Natal through couchsurfing.
Neste trabalho, partimos de Geertz, para quem as etnografias seriam “formas de experiência textualizada”; para analisar a etnografia de Alba Zaluar “A máquina e a revolta” e confrontá-la com os discursos ficcionais do romance de Paulo Lins e do filme de Fernando Meirelles “Cidade de Deus”. Buscamos salientar os dilemas éticos da antropologia e das...
Resumo: Pretendemos aqui interpretar a perspectiva de Laura Mulvey para a construção de uma análise do cinema narrativo clássico estadunidense. Buscaremos assim esclarecer como se estruturam os conceitos fundamentais de Mulvey e sua proposta política e cinematográfica. Mulvey é um marco na teorização feminista sobre o cinema e suas preocupações sob...
