Summary: | The notion of "technologies of gender" is an important conceptual tool in the study of sports as realm of gender exclusion, discrimination and segregation. It allows the understanding of the historic creation of an exclusive preserve for the masculinity and a meaning system where values and traits of a sexed world are defi ned, but even the material production of the bodies with disciplinary practices which enhance and aggravate distinctive features for the representation of gender in social life. The contributions of Iris Marion Young, Teresa de Lauretis, Michel Foucault and Erving Goff man are a crucial standing point for this reflection.
