FEMINIST SUPPORT AND SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS

IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION IN THE GROUP “LAS PIBAS DEL MILLO” OF CLUB ATLÉTICO RIVER PLATE

Abstract

This article analyzes the modes of participation of the group “Las Pibas del Millo” of Club Atlético River Plate, aiming to understand identity construction and gender social representations in a historically masculinized space. Using a qualitative and ethnographic approach, participant observation and in-depth interviews were conducted. The results reveal the emergence of a “feminist aguante” that resignifies traditional practices. It is concluded that these experiences redefine gender social representations and enable new forms of participation in the stands.
