Enunciações performativas de treinadores de voleibol sobre a participação de mulheres transexuais atletas no naipe feminino

Abstract

This article aims to discuss how volleyball coaches, from the professional and amateur categories of the state of Rio de Janeiro, perform statements about the presence of transgender female athletes in women's teams. We seek dialogue with post-structuralist studies, especially in the theorizations of Jacques Derrida and Judith Butler, for the notions of language performativity and gender performativity. In addition, we propose the construction of data through the production of narratives with the coaches, according to the principles of Leonor Arfuch and Jorge Larrosa, in the operationalization of dialogic interviews through conversations. The coaches enunciated different meanings, which referred to the prejudice and the non-acceptance of the players in the volleyball teams, in particular those who worked in the professional category, such as their inclusion, even if within certain parameters. We believe that new research on the participation of transgender in sport can tense and constitute new performances of meanings on the subject.
