La institucionalidad deportiva argentina para jóvenes y mujeres: vínculos con los derechos humanos y la inclusión social

Abstract

The article proposes a particular view at the Argentine sports institutions of youths and women, where the concepts of human rights and social inclusion prevail. Such signifiers have become recurrent on the part of political and media discourses and from there the need of the social sciences to define the theoretical elements that compose them surpassing all type of banalities. In this sense, our theoretical-methodological proposal is oriented towards this text. As for the methodological aspects, we turn to a qualitative and theoretical strategy. This strategy consists of defining the theoretical elements that constitute a concept and analyzing the official documents on the subject or another unit of analysis that integrates the research. From it the possibility of contrasting such theoretical aspects with the data emerging from the documents. For this reason, it is a strategy in part theoretical and in another very inductive part. The results of the exploration show that Argentine sports institutions for young people and women -in their treatment by the official documents- oscillate around the concepts of rights and meritocracy. On one side, we find social programs that in terms of rights signify an important advance in the matter but, at the same time, contain provisions that restrict their possibility of greater access. On the other side, we find provisions on this institutionality where a meritocratic logic of operation in which is selected from among potential applicants or institutions that from that conception are considered the best.
