Urbanização, estádios de futebol e ditadura civil-militar: Possibilidades de investigação no acervo digital do Sian

Abstract/Résumé/Resumen

This article shows some possibilities to think about the past of the metropolization process in Brazil, focusing on the period of the construction of public stadiums across the country. Stadiums of “gigantic” dimensions in the state capitals or stadiums of reduced size in smaller cities were built with contribu-tions from the federal government and the state and municipal governments in partnership with con-tractors. Many of these constructions were investi-gated and these processes are in the digital archives of the Sistema de Informações do Arquivo Nacional (Sian) [National Archives Information System].
