In this essay, the author uses the opportunity of the mega-events that will be held in Brazil to relate the sports spectacles to the simultaneous criticism of the democracy and of lack of involvement and creativity as central themes of sustainable and inclusive development, social capital, trust and generation of productive and social arrangements. At the intersection of theoretical approaches of specific stories, criticism and proposals, the author suggests that the field of mega-events could be both subject-matter of analysis of social capital and trust and their own generator. The author also suggests that the areas of social communication and physical education could play a relevant role not only in the field of generation of knowledge about such problems, but also in sports, institutional and communicative practices, contributing to the increase of social capital and trust.Downloads
