Pierre Bourdieu's "Masculine Domination" thesis and the gendered body in sport and physical culture

Article Abstract:

The central thesis of Pierre Bourdieu's text, La Domination Masculine (1999), is examined. His relational thesis of masculine domination is examined as a three-part process of observation, somatization and naturalization with the view that the text is not only an explanation of gender relations but an important contribution to the way in which one may view the representation of gender relations in sport and physical culture.
