Vinte Anos de Diálogos: Os esportes na antropologia brasileira

This book rescues twenty years of activities in the Sports Anthropology Working Group at the Brazilian Association of Anthropology. Its chapters present a panorama of research presented in this period as well as the several dialogues with other areas, which identify an interdisciplinary existence. A team of male and female researchers, from different backgrounds and areas of studies, decided to play together and produce scientific knowledge over the body and sports practices under the spectrum of anthropology, but also at the interface with other Human Sciences. It is in this context that this collection simultaneously proposes to celebrate such twenty years of participation in sports studies at the Brazilian Conferences of Anthropology, as well as pointing out paths for the next stages of building the Anthropology of Sports in Brazil and worldwide. Taking stock of the dialogues established between this field of investigation and the multiple disciplinary areas with which it has been built, this team of specialists turns a kaleidoscope of analytical possibilities on the object in question. If such studies systematize so far a consolidated trajectory, they also open up potentials for theoretical and ethnographic unfolding to future investigations.
