Abstract:

Abstract This study seeks to map and problematize the academic production related to studies on men and masculinities in the field of Physical Education, through a bibliographic survey in the annals of the Brazilian/International Congress on Sport Sciences, to discuss meanings of masculinity present in the works published in national meetings of the last fifteen years. Among the results, the works brought the prevalence in the body and sports practices of a hegemonic masculinity or of other expressions that denoted a segregating masculine domination, showing very little the resistance processes of other masculinities in these spaces, what we see as a gap to be filled by future work. We ended the work by pointing out theoretical and empirical paths, which can be powerful and productive for future research on studies on men and masculinities in the area of Physical Education.
