“…Such memory work manifests through, variously: specific language and idiom usage; perpetuation, mythologizing and reification of traditions; production and consumption of memory-related material including merchandise, memorabilia, archival documents, sporting paraphernalia, songs/chants/banter etc; heroine/hero worship; shared experiences couched in nostalgia; and, communal exercises of revelry, ad nauseum. 21 what individuals wish experiences to be, mean and be for. 23 Added to this are related forces of nostalgia, 24 selective recall and forgetting, and nuances of the social/cultural and intra-personal contexts in which memories are recalled and shared -in the pub, on terraces, at home, or in virtual/social media spaces.…”

In March 2020 -following the rapid increase of cases in the countryseveral Brazilian sports leagues momentarily ceased to slow the virus spread among the population. Despite the record number of deaths caused by the disease, most of these leagues restarted by mid-July. Brazilian TV channels offered football match reruns as an alternative to fill weekly schedule gaps. Therefore, within a somewhat dystopian context of political chaos, deep economic recession and unparalleled public health crisis, the most-watched sports channel in the country, SporTV, decided to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of Brazil's third FIFA World Cup title at the 1970 men's tournament by rerunning the six matches played by the successful national football team (aka Seleção), from April 14 to the 19 and on June 21. Focusing on Twitter, this article demonstrates how the moment provided content for social media narratives about the country's assumed 'glorious' past, its fractured contemporary state and uncertain futures. In doing so, we offer insights into the complexities of memory craft within sport histories and nationmaking practices.

Historical politics is usually an institutionalised top-down phenomenon, in which the government or the cultural elites selectively formulate a historical narrative to unify and homogenize the imagined nation-state. Yet, there are also grassroots movements in the public sphere, which participate in the uses and abuses of history for identity politics. We focus on one such case: the football supporters’ commemoration activism. While football supporters’ social activism and the role of football matches as lieux de mémoire have received significant scholarly interest, their commemoration activism is as yet poorly described. In this paper we investigate how two regional newspapers of differing political position report this issue. The DHA-inspired qualitative analysis shows that Gazeta Wyborcza writes about it relatively rarely and views it as an appropriation of collective memory. Głos Wielkopolski on the other hand constructs football supporters as a rejuvenating force in local identity and memory politics.
