Abstract

Compared with some of the characteristics of post-modern condition and starting from considerations of a multi-sited anthropology, this article aims to reflect on competitions and games for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender athletes (LGBT). For this purpose, an introductory scene is chosen as a theme for discussion and interweaves considerations which aim to challenge the heteronormative matrix of intelligibility of the conventional sports. Beyond the boundaries of improving or rejecting applicants binary alternatives in the sports arena, there is as essential to consider the current practice of sport LGBT segment and thus open consideration of what kind of events are these and what sport is this.
