O imaginário da derrota no esporte contemporâneo

RESUMO: Diante das necessidades impostas aos atletas de alto rendimento na atualidade, a superacao se tornou um principio e um termo recorrente entre aqueles que conseguiram chegar entre os mais destacados, os vencedores. Na estrutura do esporte contemporâneo observa-se a reproducao do modelo liberal que privilegia a vitoria, embora sejam premiados os tres primeiros colocados em disputas olimpicas. Isso leva muitas vezes o ganhador da medalha de prata e de bronze a se sentir derrotado, negando um feito digno de registro historico. Os desdobramentos da derrota nao sao suficientemente estudados, o que contribui para uma atitude de negacao em relacao a essa situacao tanto por parte de atletas como de profissionais que atuam no universo esportivo. O objetivo deste trabalho e apresentar uma discussao sobre o imaginario da derrota no esporte contemporâneo e como esse evento se da entre atletas brasileiros ganhadores de medalhas olimpicas, bem como as suas varias representacoes no contexto social contemporâneo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Derrota; competicao; psicologia do esporte; esporte e cultura. THE COMPETITION AND DEFEAT EXPERIENCE IN CONTEMPORARY SPORTS

De espectadoras a protagonistas - A conquista do espaço esportivo pelas mulheres

Quando refletimos sobre a participacao feminina no esporte, na atualidade, percebemos a necessidade de resgatar o contexto historico onde esse fato se deu.

Nesse ensaio buscamos demonstrar que ainda que se negasse a mulher esteve presente no mundo da atividade fisica e do esporte desde a antiguidade, e que a sua presenca nesses circulos esteve restrita ou ampliada de acordo com a necessidade ou vontade de quem detinha o poder.

The results, when compared with previous researches and the theoretical approach allows to conclude that even after inclusion of the growing Brazilian women in several sports - including pointing out that this did not occur in the form of confrontation, just as in other countries - this does not represent a rethinking of the social roles of the female and male letting to the athletes maintain a separation between sports life and life as a woman.

Do imperfeito ao mais que perfeito: A kalokagathía dos atletas paraolímpicos

This article aims to discuss kalokagathia (the good and the beautiful) in the passage of the athlete who transcended physical limitations or imperfections imposed by disability to the position of excellence achieved in a career as Paralympic athlete. When it comes to sports, the “imperfect” metaphor points out who people with disabilities are and where they are, when and why sports practices become accessible, and where they are today. Biographical narratives were used as a method, which allowed understanding the transition processes of the athletes studied. All of them were on an Olympic career path when they suffered an accident or illness that physically limited them. What has been seen and heard of these athletes is their love of life shining over any atrophied muscles, darkness in their visual fields or missing body parts.

A hegemonia europeia no Comitê Olímpico Internacional

Although the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has existed for more than a century, it has only had nine presidents in its history. The founder of the IOC Baron Pierre de Coubertin had proposed the internationalization of the entity. This has always been the discourse of the Committee, but little has been done to change the composition of its leadership. Historically there has been a predominance of European leaders and members. The proposal of this article is to make a comparative analysis of the offi cial biographies of IOC presidents available on IOC website with the offi cial documents of the IOC (the Olympic Bulletin and the offi cial website), as well as newspapers of that time (Folha da Manha, Folha de S. Paulo and O Estado de S. Paulo). In summary we have identifi ed other signifi cant elements of each president’s management criticism in newspapers different from the perfect image built by offi cial discourse.
