QUEER AS TWISTED FIELD: THE EMERGENCE OF GROUPS WHO QUESTION HOMOPHOBIA AND SEXISM IN FOOTBALL

Abstract

This essay will discuss some aspects of the rise of organized supporters queers that were created on Facebook to combat homophobic and sexist to recurring events in stadiums and football related practices in Brazil. We discuss the potential of these twisted to deconstruct the existing normative standard in stadiums and the world of football, and the role they have to claim the recognition of the participation of women and homosexuals, historically segregated practices that give meaning to the sport, as the play and the twist. To understand the normative standard and how this regulates relations in the spaces and practices involving football, we will work with outsiders and established concepts developed by Norbert Elias, when he studied the relationships between older residents and groups with less residence time working in the community of Winston Parva, England, the duality established-outsiders is given by a power relationship in which the group holds a power defends his position and reaffirms its charism group from a constant ratio of opposition to those pose a risk to the purity of the group. In the essay we seek to problematize the relationship between football and sexuality, seeking to understand, by the duality established-outsiders, the normative standard that validates and reaffirms a model of virile masculinity, which ranks and secretes subjectivities that do not conform to this ideal. Contrary to the established normative standard, arise queer twisted and anti-homophobia, they propose to develop discursive practices confronting the idea of male hegemony.
