DIFFERENCE AND EQUALITY IN GENDER RELATIONS IN SPORT

This is a research bibliographic of analytical theoretical nature that aims to discuss the concepts of equality and gender difference advocated by Joan Wallach Scott and relates them to the world of sport research. It was intended to anchor gender relations presented by American historian and relates them to the problems observed in the sports field, especially in relations of equality and difference denounced and defended at the beginning of XXI century. When dealing with the history of women from a gender perspective, one realizes that the political, social and cultural fields are always on the scene, and why not inserting the issue of sport in the debate? In this paper it is observed that the paradigmatic claim of equality, sometimes in his own defense, paradoxically must be new significance for the difference.
