Abstract
Este artigo fornece uma análise do debate que tem sido realizado sobre a possibilidade de combinar as perspectivas configuracional e feminista no estudo do gênero e do esporte. Nesta análise, algumas das diferenças entre as abordagens feministas e configuracional são brevemente mencionadas e as ideias de Elias sobre o envolvimento e distanciamento são apresentados como uma solução possível para combinar as abordagens.

Summary
With the consolidation of feminist theories, gender and sport issues have been highly discussed, over the last decades Some theories, such as liberal feminism focus on the women’s lack of access and opportunities to sports settings and on the “socialization and sex-role differentiation” Radical feminism tends to focus on male control of sports practices and governing bodies They concentrate their attention on the role sport plays in “the social construction of male sexual dominance and female sexual submission” The arguments of some authors who consider to be difficult to combine both perspectives and the points of view of others who believe it is possible to be a feminist figurational sociologist are discussed In this context, Elias’s ideas on involvement-detachment are presented as a possible solution to blend figurational and feminist approaches
