ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to map and problematize the academic production related to studies on masculinities in the field of Physical Education, through a bibliographic survey in the annals of the Brazilian/International Congress on Sports Sciences. We seek to discuss meanings of the masculinity category present in the works published in the national meetings of the last fifteen years. We selected 21 texts and, among the results, we identified the prevalence in the body and sports practices of a hegemonic masculinity or other expressions that denoted a male domination, showing very little the resistance processes of other masculinities in these spaces, what we see as a gap to be filled by future work. We ended the work by pointing out theoretical and empirical paths, which can be powerful and productive for future research on studies on masculinities in the area of Physical Education.

Keywords : Masculinity; Gender; Physical education; Academic review.
