RESUMO
RESUMO Este artigo examina como as ideias relativas à identidade regional circularam em discussões sobre a Copa do Mundo. Primeiro, apresenta preparações e discussões em torno da partida entre Chile e Estados Unidos em Recife, em 1950. Em seguida, analisa a atenção dada ao torneio por intelectuais e artistas regionais, como músicos, ceramistas, poetas e escritores de literatura de cordel. Esta análise mostra que o futebol do Mundial fornece um espaço no qual os termos da identidade regional (e nacional) foram contestados e debatidos, enfatizando a multivalência do discurso regional.ABSTRACT This article examines how ideas about northeastern regional identity circulated in discussions of World Cup football. It first presents the preparations of and discussion around the 1950 World Cup match between Chile and the United States in Recife. Then, it analyzes attention given to World Cup football by regionalist intellectuals and artists, including musicians, clay artists, poets, and authors of cordel literature. This analysis shows that World Cup football provided a space within which the terms of regional (and national) identity were contested and debated, emphasizing the multivalence of regional discourse.
