Futbolera
Latin American athletes have achieved iconic status in global popular culture, but what do we know about the communities of women in sport? Futbolera is the first monograph on women’s sports in Latin America. Because sports evoke such passion, they are fertile ground for understanding the formation of social classes, national and racial identities, sexuality, and gender roles. Futbolera tells the stories of women athletes and fans as they navigated the pressures and possibilities within organized sports. Futbolera charts the rise of physical education programs for girls, often driven by ideas of eugenics and proper motherhood, that laid the groundwork for women’s sports clubs, which bega...
Women and Sport in Latin America
This multidisciplinary book draws on sociology, cultural studies, anthropology and history, to explore the diversity, challenges and achievements of Latin American women in sport. It offers an in-depth analysis of women’s sport in ten countries across Latin America, insights into the sport activities of indigenous peoples, and the contributions of Latin American women to sport living outside of the region. The book also provides a comprehensive overview of international developments in gender and sport research, policy development and theory, and addresses sport participation at many levels including in school-based physical education, community and high performance contexts.
Sport and Women
Although female athletes are successful in all types of sport, in many countries sport is still a male domain. This book examines and compares the sporting experiences of women from different countries around the world and offers the first systematic and cross-cultural analysis of the topic of women in sport. Sport and Women presents a wealth of new research data, including in-depth case-studies of 16 countries in North and South America, Asia, Eastern and Western Europe and Africa. In addition, the book offers comparative assessments of the extent to which women are represented in global sport and the opportunities that women have to participate in decision-making processes in sport. The book illuminates a wide range of key international issues in women's sport, such as cultural barriers to participation and the efficacy of political action. It is therefore essential reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology, culture and politics of sport.
MULHERES EM MANCHETE: a potência da geração de voleibol dos anos 1980
Há momentos no esporte – como na vida – em que de repente tudo parece fazer sentido. A seleção de 70 com todos aqueles camisas 10 reinventando o futebol. O Dream Team americano elevando o basquete a uma nova potência em Barcelona. Usain Bolt redefinindo o conceito de velocista. Para um torcedor desavisado, todo esse encantamento pode parecer ter vindo do nada. Mas um pesquisador atento é capaz de perceber que o que se vê de novo no campo, na quadra ou na pista é na verdade um encontro de fenômenos. Foi o que Marcelo Ribeiro Tavares e a professora Ludmila Mourão fizeram neste “Mulheres em manchete: a potência da geração de voleibol dos anos 1980”. Com um trabalho de pesqui...
Raumaneignungen von Frauen im brasilianischen Amateurfußball
In Brasilien spielt Fußball eine bedeutende gesellschaftliche Rolle, jedoch waren Frauen lange Zeit davon ausgeschlossen. Die vorliegende ethnographische Studie beleuchtet, wie brasilianische Frauen im Amateurfußball von Rio de Janeiro soziale und geographische Räume erobern und dabei Geschlechterverhältnisse neu definieren – ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Debatte über Geschlecht, Sport und städtische Räume.
ALTA NA PONTA: conversas com Isabel Salgado, Jacqueline Silva e Vera Mossa
Elas abriram as portas, driblaram o amadorismo e descobriram o sucesso. Com entrevistas muito especiais, os ícones de uma geração narram muito mais do que histórias. A luta contra o preconceito, os primeiros passos no profissionalismo, a primeira participação olímpica e muito mais. Era uma época difícil, na qual o chamado esporte olímpico era realmente amador. Mas essa incrível geração, cheia de talento, carisma e charme, mudou o rumo da modalidade. Com a repercussão do título Sul-Americano em 1981 (depois de cinco títulos seguidos do Peru) e principalmente do Mundialito do Ibirapuera, em 1982 – ambos transmitidos pela TV aberta –, aí tudo definitivamente mudou. Com gran...
