KACZAN, Gisela  and  GONZALEZ, Agustina. Discursos, pedagogías y estereotipos en la natación femenina argentina a principios del siglo XX. Educ. fís. cienc. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, e169. ISSN 2314-2561.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142561e169.

This work seeks to trace how the sports practice of swimming was introduced in urban centers such as Buenos Aires, in Argentina, especially in the female gender and from a historical perspective. For this, different representations that circulated in the first decades of the 20th century will be analyzed, in order to detect the discourses in favor and against their exercise, the pedagogies, the scenarios and mobiles, as well as the predominant stereotypes.

The meaning of the body has a central place in this study, traversed by the paradigm of sexual binarism, strongly linked to the need to establish clear roles for one gender or another, which is why the framework of feminist criticism and the intersectional view is used.

To delve into the objectives, we will work on the interpretation of different editorial products of the mass media, since they were in charge of building and disseminating the stereotypes that they legitimized.

Keywords : Sports practices; History; Female gender; Bodies; Stereotypes.
