"It's black, it's fag and it depends on the club's allowance": intersections of the difference in the context of the sport

Abstract

This article seeks to discuss narratives produced with young volleyball athletes from basic categories and to problematize in their statements the intersection of identifications of masculinity, sexual orientation, youth and race. We propões a dialogue between the intersectional approach and post-foundational studies as theoretical and methodological contributions, according to Sirma Bilge, Leonor Arfuch and Judith Butler. Among the results, young athletes reported how their identifications are socially performatized when reverberating discrimination and the inferiorization of their bodies by race, class and sexual orientation markers. The intersection of these identifications materialized their masculinities as dissenting from the norms of whiteness and cisheteronormativity in the context of sport.
