Futbolera

Autor: Brenda J. Elsey , Joshua H. Nadel

Número de Páginas: 302

Capturando más de un siglo de luchas, esta conmovedora historia cultural rastrea la evolución de la participación de las mujeres en los deportes en América Latina, desde la educación física hasta los clubes de aficionados y la creación de equipos nacionales. "Este trabajo bellamente escrito, meticulosamente trabajado e increíblemente reflexivo no es una mera descripción de las mujeres y el deporte en América Latina. Se trata, más bien, de la lucha de las mujeres por la equidad en el deporte, sin duda, pero también en todos los ámbitos, completando un espacio que estaba ausente en la historia social de las mujeres. Más allá de proporcionar un tema para iniciar una conversación, este libro tal vez brinde las bases para un campo de estudio completamente nuevo". Amy Bass, profesora en The College of New Rochelle "Una contribución transformadora a la historia del fútbol y del deporte en general, en América Latina y más allá. Futbolera brilla con historias fascinantes e inéditas, a la vez que reúne a la perfección una rica variedad de análisis social, cultural y discursivo. Una lectura imprescindible". Laurent Dubois, Duke University, autor de The Language of...

The Beautiful Game Reimagined

Autor: Lívia Gonçalves Magalhães

Número de Páginas: 300

The Beautiful Game Reimagined: Women’s Soccer in Brazil challenges long-held notions of the country’s enduring football heritage by highlighting the influential and rapidly evolving sphere of women’s soccer. Through a wide range of interdisciplinary research—from oral histories capturing personal experiences to advanced digital methods uncovering lost narratives—this anthology offers a unique lens on the historical and cultural significance of women’s contributions to the sport. By focusing on underrepresented stories, the collection not only reshapes the image of Brazil as a football powerhouse but also emphasizes the urgent need for greater recognition of women athletes, past and present. In these pages, scholars explore how shifting forms of finance, sponsorship, and social media are fueling the growth of the women’s game, demonstrating that the sport’s future lies in the hands—and feet—of female players. The volume addresses the intersections of race and regional identities, extending the conversation beyond traditional narratives and giving voice to those who have long been sidelined. With rigorous analysis and forward-thinking perspectives, The Beautiful...

Discriminación de género en el fútbol

Autor: Raycraft, Rachel Davidson , Robinson, Rebecca , Zabel, Jolena

Número de Páginas: 139

La importancia de las categorizaciones del género y basadas en el género se afianza en el mundo de los deportes como en ninguna otra dimensión de la cultura o la sociedad del siglo XXI. Aunque se presenta como natural, lógico e innato, el trato diferenciado entre hombres y mujeres, y niños y niñas en el mundo deportivo es en gran parte producto de más de un siglo de socialización global que pretende preservar el deporte como un pasatiempo, un estilo de vida y una fuente de oportunidades dominados por los hombres. Como el más popular del mundo, el fútbol puede ser el ejemplo más grande de las disparidades actuales en el deporte. A pesar de la presencia de las mujeres en las canchas desde principios del siglo XX, los gobiernos y las asociaciones de fútbol han eliminado de manera proactiva su capacidad de participar en el juego bonito a través de estereotipos de género, poca inversión, oportunidades profesionales precarias y faltas de respeto. Este libro describe las formas de discriminación basada en el género que sufren las futbolistas en distintos niveles alrededor del mundo, y explica cómo y por qué estos abusos violan los principios internacionales y...

The Creation of Modern Buenos Aires

Autor: Joel Horowitz

Número de Páginas: 217

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 became important social centers and were connected to the political world. The book focuses on the period from the passage of a voting reform law in 1912, which made male-citizen voting obligatory and fraud more difficult, to the military coup of 1943. The book shows how civic associations helped create the social world of the city, focusing especially on the part they played in the development of the sense of barrio. It demonstrates how civic associations became vital links in the system of...

Futbolera

Autor: Brenda Elsey , Joshua Nadel

Número de Páginas: 371

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 began to thrive beyond the confines of school systems. Futbolera examines how women challenged both their exclusion from national pastimes and their lack of access to leisure, bodily integrity, and public space. This vibrant history also examines women’s sports through comparative case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and others. Special attention is given to women’s sports during military dictatorships of the 1970s and 80s as well as the feminist and democratic...

El entorno digital

Autor: Pablo J. Boczkowski , Eugenia Mitchelstein

Número de Páginas: 191

Desde la foto que un padre o una abuela toman del recién nacido en la sala de maternidad, pasando por las experiencias que se comparten en redes sociales, las reseñas o calificaciones de películas, hoteles o restaurantes, el self-tracking que registra cuánto corrió una persona en una semana, hasta el activismo feminista, social o ambiental y las campañas políticas, todos y todas estamos cada vez más condicionados, directa o indirectamente, por los fenómenos que se dan en el entorno digital. Por eso, los autores de este libro sostienen que, si queremos entender de verdad el auge de lo digital en el mundo contemporáneo, no se trata de descomponerlo en aplicaciones o plataformas aisladas, sino de encararlo, al igual que la naturaleza o las ciudades, como un entorno que envuelve y moldea todos los aspectos importantes de la vida cotidiana. ¿Cuáles son las principales características de este entorno? ¿Hasta qué punto nos viene dado "por completo" y cuáles son los márgenes para intervenir sobre él? Recuperando y sistematizando aportes de especialistas del Norte y del Sur globales, Pablo Boczkowski y Eugenia Mitchelstein muestran cómo las desigualdades de género,...

Regeneration through Sport

Autor: Andrew Mcfarland

Número de Páginas: 204

This book examines how and why sport in general, and football in particular, entered the country and developed successfully between 1890 and the 1920s, while placing that growth within the context of Spain’s larger historical experience. The introduction of sport in the late 19th century permanently changed the day-to-day lives of thousands of Spaniards. Initially, the country’s growing urban middle-classes embraced the new activity as they built community identities and were introduced to it through economic and educational connections to foreigners. To justify this, these proponents argued that the adoption of physical education and sport would physically regenerate the nation. In response, well-rounded sporting communities grew, developed medical arguments, and even debated the activity’s appropriateness for different groups like women. As sport spread, it produced the first football clubs around the turn of the century. Subsequently, in the 1910s and early 1920s, football established the structural institutions, like stadiums, stars, regulatory bodies, and a press, that enabled its rapid expansion as a mass consumer activity in the late 1920s. Regeneration through Sport...

Football and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Argentina

Autor: Mark Orton

Número de Páginas: 310

This book examines how since its arrival in 1867 with British immigrants, football has become the key cultural signifier of national identity in Argentina over the long twentieth century. With the international exploits of players such as Luis Monti, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Diego Maradona, the sport has projected Argentina onto the global consciousness not seen in any other way. In this book, Mark Orton challenges existing myths surrounding the nativisation of football in Argentina away from British influence, as he shows how the game provided a conduit for the assimilation of millions of European immigrants in the early decades of the century into a new Argentine ‘race’. The book also examines how football gave some of the ‘voiceless others’ such as women, Afro-Argentines, indigenous people and those in the interior an arena to project themselves in an Argentine society that was masculine, white and Buenos Aires-dominated.

Routledge Handbook of Sport History

Autor: Murray G. Phillips , Douglas Booth , Carly Adams

Número de Páginas: 431

The Routledge Handbook of Sport History is a new and innovative survey of the discipline of sport history. Global in scope, it examines the key contemporary issues in sports historiography, sheds light on previously ignored topics, and sets an intellectual agenda for the future development of the discipline. The book explores both traditional and non-traditional methodologies in sport history, and traces the interface between sport history and other fields of research, such as literature, material culture and the digital humanities. It considers the importance of key issues such as gender, race, sexuality and politics to our understanding of sport history, and focuses on innovative ways that the scholarship around these issues is challenging accepted discourses. This is the first handbook to include a full section on Indigenous sport history, a topic that has often been ignored in sport history surveys despite its powerful upstream influence on contemporary sport. The book also reflects carefully on the central importance of sport history journals in shaping the development of the discipline. This book is an essential reference for any student, researcher or scholar with an...

Soccer in American Culture

Autor: G. Edward White

Número de Páginas: 314

2022 Choice Outstanding Academic Title In Soccer in American Culture: The Beautiful Game’s Struggle for Status, G. Edward White seeks to answer two questions. The first is why the sport of soccer failed to take root in the United States when it spread from England around much of the rest of the world in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The second is why the sport has had a significant renaissance in America since the last decade of the twentieth century, to the point where it is now the 4th largest participatory sport in the United States and is thriving, in both men’s and women’s versions, at the high school, college, and professional levels. White considers the early history of “Association football” (soccer) in England, the persistent struggles by the sport to establish itself in America for much of the twentieth century, the role of public high schools and colleges in marginalizing the sport, the part played by FIFA, the international organization charged with developing soccer around the globe, in encumbering the development of the sport in the United States, and the unusual history of women’s soccer in America, which evolved in the twentieth century...

Gender Discrimination in Football. Building a Toolbox Toward Gender Equity in the Beautiful Game

Autor: Raycraft, Rachel Davidson , Robinson, Rebecca , Zabel, Jolena

Número de Páginas: 102

The importance of gender and gender-based categorizations cling to the world of sport like no other realm of culture or society in the twenty-first century. While presented as natural, logical, and innate, the differential treatment of men and women and boys and girls in the world of sport is largely the product of over a century of global socialization intent on preserving sport as a male-dominated pastime, lifestyle, and avenue of opportunity. As the most popular sport worldwide, football (or soccer) may be the poster child for lingering gender disparities in sport. Despite women’s presence on the pitch since the turn of the twentieth century, governments and football associations have proactively suppressed their ability to participate in the game through gender stereotypes, underinvestment, precarious professional opportunities, and disrespect. This report describes the various manifestations of gender-based discrimination that shape the game of football today, the role the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) plays in perpetuating this discrimination, and existing avenues for remedy (or lack thereof). The report concludes with key takeaways from the...

The Digital Environment

Autor: Pablo J. Boczkowski , Eugenia Mitchelstein

Número de Páginas: 209

Understanding digital technology in daily life: why we should think holistically in terms of a digital environment instead of discrete devices and apps. Increasingly we live through our personal screens; we work, play, socialize, and learn digitally. The shift to remote everything during the pandemic was another step in a decades-long march toward the digitization of everyday life made possible by innovations in media, information, and communication technology. In The Digital Environment, Pablo Boczkowski and Eugenia Mitchelstein offer a new way to understand the role of the digital in our daily lives, calling on us to turn our attention from our discrete devices and apps to the array of artifacts and practices that make up the digital environment that envelops every aspect of our social experience. Boczkowski and Mitchelstein explore a series of issues raised by the digital takeover of everyday life, drawing on interviews with a variety of experts. They show how existing inequities of gender, race, ethnicity, education, and class are baked into the design and deployment of technology, and describe emancipatory practices that counter this--including the use of Twitter as a...

Pitching Democracy

Autor: April Yoder

Número de Páginas: 230

"This book focuses on the history of baseball in the Dominican Republic, especially the sport's political ramifications. Yoder argues that Dominicans kept their sense of democratic idealism in part because they were intertwined with the aspirations of baseball as it developed into a transnational industry. Baseball became economically central to the Dominican Republic at the same time as the country was turning toward concerns of development, resulting in an economic and political "Third Way" that drew from both the Cuban and US models"--

Women's Football, Culture, and Identity

Autor: Kate Themen

Número de Páginas: 172

This book examines the experiences of amateur players in women’s football, challenging conventional discourses that centre male, masculine, and heterosexual identities and offering a new narrative that re-positions women’s voices. Based on original empirical research, including extended interviews with female players, the book outlines current debates in women’s football around gender, identity, and intersectionality. It explores football as a space of contestation, examining the creative ways in which women have negotiated opportunities to play football and the friendships and sociality that emerge from playing the game. The book examines resistance to historically bound cultural norms that privileges men’s participation, reflecting on mixed-sex football, femininity, embodiment, physical capital, and authenticity, and considers how this deeper understanding of football cultures might help in the future development of the women’s game. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in football, women’s sport, the sociology of sport, or gender studies.

Five Hundred Years of LGBTQIA+ History in Western Nicaragua

Autor: Victoria González-rivera

Número de Páginas: 313

This groundbreaking book reframes five hundred years of western Nicaraguan history by giving gender and sexuality the attention they deserve. Victoria González-Rivera decenters nationalist narratives of triumphant mestizaje and argues that western Nicaragua’s LGBTQIA+ history is a profoundly Indigenous one. In this expansive history, González-Rivera documents connections between Indigeneity, local commerce, and femininity (cis and trans), demonstrating the long history of LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans. She sheds light on historical events, such as Andres Caballero’s 1536 burning at the stake for sodomy. González-Rivera discusses how elite efforts after independence to “modernize” open-air markets led to increased surveillance of LGBTQIA+ working-class individuals. She also examines the 1960s and the Somoza dictatorship, when another wave of persecution emerged, targeting working-class gay men and trans women, leading to a more stringent anti-sodomy law. The centuries prior to the post-1990 political movement for greater LGBTQIA+ rights demonstrate that, far from being marginal, LGBTQIA+ Nicaraguans have been active in every area of society for hundreds of years.
