mainly between the 1930s and 1940s, demonstrating social tensions about fun
activities and entertainment and see how newspapers denounced and criticized
the city's problems, built meshes to enlarge disciplinary actions, managed the
resizing of the city of Fortaleza as a strategy to imprison the entertainment
according to the social groups on the scene. From the analysis of articles in
newspapers, processes, crimes and other texts, we tried to understand the
"civilizing" situation in the course of the first half of the twentieth century, and
the contention that sought to define, assume and end essentially popular
entertainments, commonly they shared the space for practices that were
considered immoral. Thus, the concerns of those means which bequeathed
representations of Fortaleza that destined disciplining strategies on popular
practices. Between different discourses of complaints, they led the resistance of
everyday practices, gambling survived the incarceration and continue s to spurn
the written more than those who are educated for the pleasure of gambling.
What is at stake is the game itself, the distancing of entertainment among
different social categories.
