Los roles de las y los integrantes de la barra futbolera la corte sur de la localidad de ciudad bolívar en la ciudad de Bogotá

Abstract

This degree work is the result of approximately four years of rapprochement and coexistence with the Bar La Corte Sur of the Club Atlético Nacional football team, whose headquarters are in the town of Ciudad Bolívar in Bogotá. The main objective is to understand the gender relations that take place in the internal organization of the bar to account for the social roles that men and women assume within this soccer phenomenon. During these years, a participant investigation was carried out from the different events that the bar organizes, attending some parties and places of socialization, in such a way that the barristas of the South Court became familiar with my situation as a researcher. This social recognition of the bar was possible thanks to the close relationship with the town of Ciudad Bolívar, which allowed us to be close to the experiences of the bar and interview its members. This familiarity and closeness facilitated an approach to understanding the fondness for a soccer team and the practices it generates. Initially, the research aimed to analyze and make visible the way in which women had achieved a leading role within the South Court. However, as time went by and more closely worked with the bar, it was possible to identify that it is the men who have all the organizational management in the group, although the presence of women was considerable. Consequently, the investigation changed course, and finally some characteristics of the barrismo phenomenon are explained, centered on the roles of men and women within La Corte Sur.
