KOPELOVICH, Pablo. Sport and masculinities. The case of the Departamento de Cultura Física of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Argentine, 1929-1946). Intersticios sociales [online]. 2022, n.24, pp.173-200. Epub 26-Sep-2022. ISSN 2007-4964.
In this paper, we analyze the activities of the Department of Physical Culture of the National University of La Plata, between 1929 and 1946, in relation to the formation of masculinities through sports among students at the university. Research was conducted using a qualitative methodological strategy, framed as a case study, and based on various sources of information. Findings suggest that, in line with certain meanings that were circulating at the time, the Department sought to foment such values as autonomy, responsibility, gallantry, character, and practice in homosocial settings. In other words, the aim was to show how these values, though generally presented as ‘natural’ and intimately associated with masculinity, are, in reality, taught and learned in institutions like schools, and in practices such as sports.
