Só vai: um documentário sobre representações da cultura do skate - de um passado contracultural a um presente olímpico

Abstract

This experimental project aims to produce a documentary on the sociocultural transformations of skate from its countercultural origins to its sportivization in contemporary times. It is therefore proposed to discuss the impact of the sociocultural process of skateboarding, which, still marginalized and stigmatized, has been taking on a global scale. For the theoretical basis of this work, we present the concepts of identity and representation, culture and counterculture from the field of Cultural Studies. In the second theoretical chapter of the project, we worked on skateboarding, addressing its emergence in society, questions about stigmatization of its social actors and, later, its indication as a sport modality for the 2020 Olympics. In the third chapter, we discuss the methodology of cultural analysis from the social formations that encompass the skate culture, ending with the description of the characteristics of the documentary film genre. Finally, in the fourth chapter, we present the characters that compose the documentary and the technical aspects to the realization of its production.
