Abstract
ABSTRACTHistorically, hegemonic leisure concepts, practices, and spaces have been conceived and imposed upon society, even in the face of agency and resistance. In this context, this study sought to analyse leisure practices in a disadvantaged community in the Brazilian Amazon. From an ethnographic perspective, informal conversations, participant observation, and interviews were conducted. The results revealed that although the community reproduces hegemonic understandings, it has practices and spaces of entertainment, including conversations, rock doido [crazy rock], jogo do bicho [the animal game], and outings. These are characterized by unique dynamics that enable residents to exist and resist daily.
