Synopsis: In its 20 critical essays, Pronunciar o Chão conceives football in its own components and materiality: football-word, football-body, football-politics, football-memory. From this set, the game emerges as a field of faith and belief - “football is effectively a game covered with subterranean explanations and events that are in fact inexplicable” - as a point of bodily tension - “to reveal the feminine in football would mean, for many, the risk of abdicating a position of control over the real and the possible” - and as an aesthetic experience – “for football, desire is principle, end, and means: it is, like the drive for the body, amplitude and limit. We all want to feel the game, not just understand it.” The game is, in short, inexhaustible.
