Abstract(s)
A Dissertação tem como finalidade analisar, a partir de uma perspectiva de gênero, as narrativas sobre os corpos femininos no contexto do esporte do fisiculturismo. Em específico, interessa averiguar, analisar e revelar as perspectivas das atletas de fisiculturismo sobre a sua prática, os seus corpos e em particular, sobre o conceito de feminilidade, o qual constitui um dos requisitos de avaliação em competição na Categoria Women’ s Physique. Pretende-se dar visibilidade às atletas e ao esporte. Respaldado nos Estudos de Gênero e Culturais, elaborou-se o estudo, as discussões e as conclusões da pesquisa. Utilizou-se como instrumento de investigação a entrevista semiestruturada com as atletas fisiculturistas da modalidade. A análise das mensagens decorreu segundo a perspectiva de Laurence Bardin. Procedeu-se ao exame dos conteúdos manifestados pelas atletas, a respeito de suas vivências, percurso no esporte e concepções sobre os conceitos de feminilidade e beleza dentro do fisiculturismo, destacando os ideais e estereótipos de feminilidade normatizada que circunscrevem os corpos das mulheres. Por fim, compreende-se que a aparência fortemente musculada das atletas entra em ruptura com as representações historicamente produzidas do feminino, afrontando estereótipos e representações hegemónicas de masculinidade e feminilidade e apontando novas representações, novas referências e novas possibilidades para os corpos das mulheres.
The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze, from a gender perspective, narratives about female bodies in the context of the sport of bodybuilding. Specifically, it is interested in investigating, analyzing and revealing bodybuilding athletes' perspectives on their practice, their bodies and, in particular, on the concept of femininity, which is one of the requirements for evaluation in competition in the Women's Physique Category. The intention is to give visibility to the athletes and the sport. Based on Gender and Cultural Studies, the study, discussions and conclusions of the research were drawn up. The research instrument used was semi-structured interviews with female bodybuilders. The messages were analyzed from the perspective of Laurence Bardin. The content expressed by the athletes was examined in relation to their experiences, their career in the sport and their conceptions of femininity and beauty within bodybuilding, highlighting the ideals and stereotypes of normalized femininity that circumscribe women's bodies. Finally, it is understood that the athletes' heavily muscled appearance breaks with historically produced representations of the feminine, confronting stereotypes and hegemonic representations of masculinity and femininity and pointing to new representations, new references and new possibilities for women's bodies.
