Palmeirense women

supporting practices and forms of resistance between the different spaces of cheering

Abstract

In view of the growing number of women in football stadiums in recent decades, although the area of ​​studies on football has been constituted around the theme related to organized supporters, the focus almost always privileged male agents in the sports field, relegating to the background the presence of women, considered, at most, simple supporting actors in a modality practiced exclusively by men. Therefore, the study - the result of a scientific initiation research (CNPq) - sought to understand and contemplate the richness of a universe that is still undervalued and very underestimated, analyzing the ways women exist and resist around the sport that is a symbol of identity. and national passion.
