TL;DR: In this article, an ethnographic study, which lasted a year, and interviews with children, focused on a second and a third basic education grades and identified an unofficial and unintended learning that occurs in the games of children, in which they learn ways to be boys and girls.
Abstract: In this study, from the slopes of Cultural Studies and Gender approaching the post-structuralism of Foucault, we aimed to understand how gender meanings that constitute different ways of being a boy or a girl in the playground area of a public school in Porto Alegre, Brazil are attributed. Through an ethnographic study, which lasted a year, and interviews with children, we focused on a second and a third basic education grades and identified an unofficial and unintended learning that occurs in the games of children, in which they learn ways to be boys and girls. In this context, we realized that there is an occupation of the schoolyard by gender, including occupancy and different ways of negotiation setting a geography of gender. We also observed a construction of sexuality in school, in which homosexuality is circumscribed to the detriment of the norm of heterosexuality.

Abstract: RESUMO: O objetivo deste artigo e sistematizar alguns posicionamentos diante do tema dos projetos sociais esportivos. Buscaremos questionar um conjunto de representacoes e mitos sobre as relacoes que os diferentes sujeitos das classes populares estabelecem com esses projetos. Para isso, nos valemos da experiencia com pesquisas etnograficas junto a praticantes de esporte e lazer e em projetos sociais esportivos. Partindo da desconstrucao de nocoes que naturalizam atributos ao esporte, passamos ao dialogo com as expectativas de socializacoes positivas atraves do esporte. Utilizando resultados de diversas pesquisas, problematizamos as justificativas que se sustentam na “utilidade social” do esporte e reiteramos a validade da analise da dimensao do significado desta pratica para os grupos sociais em questao. Concluimos articulando o significado cultural do esporte com os desafios de politicas que busquem enquadra-lo como um direito social. BETWEEN “BEING USEFUL” AND “BEING MEANINGFUL” AN ANALYSIS OF EXPECTATIONS ATTRIBUTED TO SPORT IN SOCIAL PROJECTS ABSTRACT: The aim of this article is to systematize some positions facing the thematics of sportive social projects. We seek to question a set of representations and myths about the relations that the different subjects of popular groups establish with these projects. For that, we count on the experience with ethnographic researches with sport and leisure practitioners and in sportive social projects. From the deconstruction of ideas that naturalize attributes to sport, we dialogue with the expectations of positive socialization through sport. Using the results of many researches, we problematize the justifications that are based on "social utility" of sport and reiterate the validity of the analysis of the dimension of this practice's meaning for these social groups. We conclude articulating the cultural meaning of sport with the challenges of policies that seek to frame it as a social right.
