In Brazil, the advent of several mega‐sporting events—most notably the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Rio Olympics—has led to various state practices of city‐staging. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Natal during the 2014 World Cup, I examine the ways in which the problem of sex tourism became particularly prominent for Natal’s image, including how the World Cup exacerbated already existing state crackdowns on sex tourism and practices of city‐staging and spectacular security. I also examine how—beside the predictable alliances of conservative and church groups with the state—progressive feminists and leftist activists aligned themselves with the state in their opposition to sex tourism and reinforced, perhaps inadvertently, practices of spectacular security and city‐staging. These practices materialized in ways that provided further legitimacy to the invisibilization of sex workers from tourist sites, who were seen as at odds with the image of a world‐class, safe, family‐friendly city. While the nation mourned the spectacular defeat of the Brazilian soccer team, sex workers, too, lost dramatically during the World Cup, through new forms of sexual governance that targeted sex tourism.

巴西的重大损失：2014年纳塔尔世界杯期间的城市演出，壮观的安全性和性旅游问题

在巴西，几项大型体育赛事的来临（最著名的是2014年世界杯和2016年里约奥运会），导致了各种国家对城市进行演出的做法。借助2014年世界杯期间在纳塔尔进行的人种学研究，我研究了性旅游问题在纳塔尔形象中尤为突出的方式，包括世界杯如何加剧了州对性旅游业的现有镇压以及城市分阶段的做法和出色的安全性。我还研究了在保守派和教会团体与国家的可预见的联盟关系之外，进步的女权主义者和左派激进主义者如何与国家在反对性旅游方面保持一致，并在无意中加强了壮观的安全和城市分期的做法。这些做法的实现为游客场所的性工作者变得不合法提供了进一步的合法性，这些人被视为与世界一流，安全，家庭友好型城市的形象不符。当国家为巴西足球队的惨败而哀悼时，性工作者在世界杯期间也因针对性旅游的新型性管理方式而遭受重大损失。
