摘要：Many of the issues raised by Burawoy (2005a, 2005b, 2006, 2007) and Braga and Burawoy (2009) concern the new collective modalities of regulation in times of rapid change brought on by neoliberalism. In this article we analyze how the regulation of the use of public spaces for sport and leisure has developed, having as its object of analysis the public spaces and equipment at the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. The qualitative methodology employed is descriptive and uses a strategy of document analysis (Ruiz, 2006). We focus our analysis on official documents issued by municipal government agencies in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In conclusion, we demonstrate a) that there is an increasing commercialization of sport and leisure practices in the beaches of Rio de Janeiro, with the consent of sectors of the city government; and b) that the control and regulation of commercial activities involving sport and leisure is not on the political agenda at the municipal level.
