Distanciamento social e tempo livre paradoxos vivenciados por estudantes da universidade estadual de minas gerais no âmbito do lazer / Social isolation and spare time: paradoxes experienced by students at the minas gerais state university with regard to leisure

A partir da oficialização do decreto sobre a pandemia do novo Coronavírus divulgado pela OMS em março/2020, esta pesquisa vislumbrou analisar as primeiras consequências do distanciamento social no dia-a-dia de discentes da Universidade Estadual de Minas Gerias (UEMG), através de três grandes eixos: moradia; trabalho/renda e saúde/bem-estar. Para tanto, um questionário, tipo survey, foi elaborado com 42 questões. Percebeu-se uma precariedade crescente quanto à qualidade de vida e acesso aos aparatos eletrônicos, devido à crise socioeconômica engendrada pela pandemia, dos discentes e seus familiares. Foi perceptível uma nova conjuntura em termos espaciais e temporais na vida dos discentes, afetando o tempo de trabalho, o tempo livre e os lazeres. Conclui-se que, caso não haja uma ação efetiva do poder público, a desigualdade social do país tende a estender-se de súbito, com impactos agudos na dimensão do lazer.

Based on the discussions about the contemporaneity and the officialization of law decree on the pandemic of the new coronavirus released by WHO in March / 2020, this research aimed to analyse the first consequences of social isolation in the day-to-day lives of students at the State University of Minas Gerais (UEMG), through three main axes: housing; work / income and health / well-being. In this aspect, a questionnaire, survey type, was elaborated with 42 questions. After material analysis, it is noticeable a growing precariousness in terms of quality of life, access to electronic devices, among others, due to the socioeconomic crisis engendered by the pandemic, of students and their families. In addition, a new conjuncture is perceived in spatial and temporal terms in the lives of students, greatly affecting the respondents' working time, spare time and leisure. It is concluded that, if there is no effective action by the public authorities, the country's social inequality tends to suddenly expand, opening up our social fracture.

The São Paulo Declaration (1998): Nothing Dates More Rapidly than the Present

The Sao Paulo Declaration (1998) committed leisure professionals to extending Rights, Inclusion and Social Order in leisure customs and practice. The engine for this intervention consisted of the twin processes of globalization and cosmopolitanism. Both were seen as dissolving economic and political barriers. The Declaration did not make use of the term 'world society'. On the other hand it clearly defined itself to be part of a global movement that addressed leisure for all. In the last 20 years, the progress made n fulfilling the terms of the Declaration has been disappointing. Economic barriers of wealth inequality and uneven development in globalization and cosmopolitanism have blocked many aspects of the Rights, Inclusion and Order articulated in the Declaration. This paper examines how far globalization and cosmopolitanism have progressed in achieving the principle that 'all persons have the right to leisure.' It examines data on wealth inequality, debt and unemployment rates to consider some of the concrete impediments. It concludes by maintaining that there is a need to go beyond the Sao Paulo Declaration by addressing the economic and political barriers that currently prevent leisure from being a right for all.(AU)
