Abstract

The city as a privileged place of social practices has in sports an important use in the connection of senses to the landscape. Through a literature review, concepts about territoriality of the sport are reviewed and the formation of specific territorialities by volleyball on the Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro is discussed. The conjunction of historical factors in the introduction of this sport in Brazil and the daily practices that persist for the amateur and professional practice of volleyball in Copacabana reveal diversified appropriations of the public space in the urban contemporaneity.
