THE CONSTITUTION OF A SPORTS SUBFIELD: THE CASE OF RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS

Abstract

This article presents the trajectory of RG as a subfield of the sports field. We used a number of texts, books and articles on RG, which were interconnected around the theoretical reference of Pierre Bourdieu. The text is divided into three sessions. The first session presents RG as a sports subfield, describing its characteristics and its history as a sport. The second part discusses aspects related to the habitus surrounding that sport. Finally, we describe the relationship between dominated and dominant agents in the modality from the perspective of the countries and teams that structure the dynamics and struggles within that subfield.
