Gender and Symbolic Violence at University Sports Events in São Paulo Brazil

Abstract

Based on field research conducted at university sporting events in São Paulo state Brazil, the article analyses how gender violence is constructed and propagated at these events. It shows how symbolic power and domination related to gender inequality are (re)produced and how dynamics of resistance to violence emerge at these events among student groups organized in “collectives”.
