“…A observação direta, especialmente com a participação do pesquisador, é considerada por diferentes autores uma estratégia imprescindível para um melhor entendimento de um contexto social (Becker, 1952;Patton, 2002) durante as sessões de treinamento, competições e encontros socais, bem como durante momentos de convivência em diferentes espaços. Isso permitiu um enriquecimento do conhecimento sobre o meio social estudado (Adler;Adler, 1994;Stebbins, 2001). Além disso, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, visando manter o nível de consistência na formulação das perguntas e oferecer certa flexibilidade aos corredores ao permitir que respondessem às suas próprias maneiras.…”

Saulo Neves de OliveiraABSTRACT -'This is The End, My Beautiful Friend!': serious leisure and the end of career. The number of runners is increasing, among them, especially, the older ones. But everything that starts comes to an end, including a runner's career. Confronting limitations often caused by aging, the older runner has to deal with this situation. This paper interprets the end of career of a runner as a learning moment facing a new challenge. Various factors that influence this process were recorded and the different ways of coping with the end of a runner's career were analyzed in the context of a racing group in Porto Alegre.

Given the exploratory nature of this research, the scope for interviews and data collection was broad, as suggested by Stebbins (2001), allowing for the exploration of multiple perspectives, as well as ensuring that critical aspects were not excluded by too narrow a focus.…”

In this paper, we analyze the private participation in prison services in three countries: Brazil, France, and the United States. We highlight striking differences in efficiency between these countries and argue that the explanation for these differences is not restricted to the way property rights are distributed (i.e. public vs. private management). Instead, our analysis suggests that understanding those differences also requires an analysis of the incentives provided by contractual choices as well as decision and revenue rights distribution and institutional constraints. The theoretical literature usually analyzes these blocks separately, and often focuses on property rights distribution. We argue that an efficient arrangement is the result of the way these elements are combined, giving rise to a distinctive governance structure.
