La Invención Del 'homo Gymnasticus'
El presente libro tiene como objetivo analizar las prácticas, saberes y discursos que posibilitaron la emergencia de la educación física escolar y las demás propuestas de educación corporal ligadas a ella (gimnasias, ejercicios físicos activos, juegos, deportes, colonias escolares, excursiones, etc.) en varios países de Occidente. La procedencia, difusa, borrosa y un tanto azarosa, de la educación física moderna, se sitúa en los inicios del siglo XIX en Europa. En esas primeras décadas, junto con una nueva ''visión'' sobre los cuerpos y su funcionamiento, se produjo un novedoso tratamiento físico sobre los mismos. En algunos gimnasios inaugurados en Londres, París, Berlín o Be...
Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender Athletes in Latin America
This edited volume draws upon work from a wide range of established and emerging international scholars to provide an interdisciplinary analysis of sport’s complex relationship with masculinity. With a particular focus on Latin America, it examines the changing relationship between a range of contemporary sport and sexuality and gender expression, as related to lesbian, gay and/or trans athletes. Experts from Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia provide historical, sociological and anthropological perspectives on heteronormativity, masculinity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and the gender binary as they relate to sports clubs, Mexican martial arts, football, softball, sports media, games, and physical education. It will be invaluable to scholars and students in the fields of Gender Studies, Queer Studies, Sports Studies, and Men’s Studies.

Perspectivas historiográficas angloparlantes (1970-2010) incluye una selección y traducción de trabajos de prestigiosos investigadores e investigadoras provenientes de las ciencias sociales del mundo angloparlante, quienes han sido claves en el desarrollo de un campo disciplinar con objetos, temas, problemas y estrategias metodológicas específicas: el de la historia de la cultura física y, particularmente, del deporte.

Antagonizing White Feminism
Antagonizing White Feminism: Intersectionality’s Critique of Women’s Studies and the Academy pushes back against the exclusive scholarship and discourse coming out of women-centered spaces and projects, which throw up barriers by narrowly defining who can participate. Vehement resistance to using inclusive language and renaming scholarly spaces like Women’s Studies and Critical Feminism expresses itself in concerns that women are still oppressed and thus women-only spaces must be maintained. But who is a woman? What are the characteristics of a woman’s lived experience? Do affinity and a history of oppression justify exclusion? This book shows how intersectional feminism is often und...
Women’s Football in Latin America
The chapters in the Women’s Football in Latin America two volumes will look at the social and historical means of the embodied representation of gender differences that has been deeply embedded in the history of Latin American women and football. The authors identify and analyse how, in a range of ways, Latin American women have found in-between spaces, amid severe macho structures, to establish and play their football. As a result, the book will be of interest to researchers and students of sport sociology, football studies, gender studies, comparative sports studies, sports history, and Latin American sporting culture. The second volume of this edited collection integrates a range of hig...
Uruguay in Transnational Perspective
Most of the world knows Uruguay only for its soccer team, or its vaunted title as the "Switzerland of South America," an enduring moniker given to the country for its earlier social welfare policies and relative stability. Even many scholarly narratives of Latin America fail to integrate the country into historical accounts, reducing the country to, as one historian has explained, "a periphery within the periphery that is Latin America." This volume challenges that characterization, taking one of the most innovative small states in the region and analyzing its transnational influence on the world. Uruguay in Transnational Perspective takes a broad look at the country’s three-hundred-year h...
The Creation of Modern Buenos Aires
The Creation of Modern Buenos Aires examines the impact of civic associations on the culture and the society of Buenos Aires and their ties to politics in the first decades of the twentieth century. The period saw the emergence of the modern political system with true appeals to the voters, tremendous urban growth, and the solidification of a barrio identity. Historian Joel Horowitz examines four types of organizations: football clubs, bibliotecas populares (popular libraries), sociedades de fomento (development societies that pushed for barrio improvements), and universidades populares (popular universities that provided practical training beyond the primary school level). All four types be...
Discursos, prácticas e instituciones educativas
El presente libro indaga desde diferentes perspectivas teóricas y discursivas temas y problemas considerados centrales en el campo educativo y pedagógico. Los objetivos y la excelente escusa de los trabajos que lo integran son analizar y problematizar en forma diacrónica y sincrónica los procesos educativos en diferentes niveles y dimensiones desnaturalizando saberes, discursos y prácticas que se producen, circulan, transmiten pero, también, que se resisten, negocian, se reapropian y resignifican en el campo pedagógico. Discursos, prácticas e instituciones educativas nos propone pensar en los modos en que los formatos educativos y sus diferentes dispositivos han sido construidos, con...
