Show moreHomelessness and the World Cup is a thesis about how the planning of the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament affected the lives of the homeless in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is an ethnographic study that looks into the presence, use, and destruction of informal settlements near the Maracanã stadium. Maracanã was the sight of some of the matches in the 2014 World Cup soccer tournament. The study relied on observational data regarding before and after uses of informal settlements as well as the phenomenological approach to ethnography. That approach to ethnography aims to understand the subject’s experience of their day-to-day lives. The thesis argues that the policies of mega event planning often directly contradict the needs of homeless individuals exercising their rights to inhabit public places.
