INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN THE SPORTS AND SCIENTIFIC FIELDS: THE SOCIOLOGY OF SPORT AS A COMMON ELEMENT (2011-2018)

Abstract

Sports has been the object of analysis in several areas of knowledge in Brazil. An approach based on social and human sciences has enabled different perspectives, exploring unique interpretative elements that broaden the understanding of this complex phenomenon. This text aims to map studies dealing with the Sociology of Sport in Brazilian graduate programs between 2011 and 2018, aiming to contribute to the systematization of the scientific production of this subfield. After the data collection of dissertations and thesis, we described the main characteristics of these productions, classifying them into sociological categories for analysis of the sports field, with football being the most hegemonically explored modality by researchers from different areas.
