Abstract

ABSTRACT The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil conveyed – by its slogan, mascot, posters and ceremonies – the idea of a Mulatto Brazil (an inventive and festive nation under the sign of two idiosyncratic worlds). We argue that such a reference – based on the duality between Dionysius and Apollo (as contemplated by Nietzsche and brought to the context of Brazil and football by Freyre) – was used as a means of bringing forward an idea of the exceptionality of Brazilian society (based on nationalist concepts of ethnicity) to attract tourists, ease social tensions and justify the event’s costs.

一个黑白混血的巴西——2014年世界杯中巴西社会酒神特质的叙述

2014年巴西世界杯通过其口号、吉祥物、海报和仪式传达了一个黑白混血巴西的理念(一个在两个独特世界标志下的富有创造力和欢乐的国家)。我们认为，这样的参考——基于狄奥尼修斯和阿波罗之间的二元性(正如尼采所设想的那样，由弗雷尔带入巴西和足球的背景)——被用作一种手段，提出巴西社会的特殊性(基于民族主义的种族概念)，以吸引游客，缓解社会紧张局势，并证明该事件的成本是合理的。

期刊介绍： National Identities explores the formation and expression of national identity from antiquity to the present day. It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with "the other" etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of "nation"in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class. The focus is on identity, rather than on contingent political forms that may express it. The journal is not prescriptive or proscriptive in its approach.
