Abstract

This paper analyzes reconstruction labor on soccer memories, made up by a militancy collective of feminist soccer, which displays a souvenir production on the World Cup of 1971 held in México. It is sustained that this collective labor is a process of devolving memories that, through feminist interventions, organizes a different story of national soccer and, at the same time, criticizes its official narrative, in which archives become spaces of dis-encountering between “feminine” and “feminist” that express identity strains used and promoted by feminist interpretations on the past.

Keywords:

Feminist soccer, militancies, feminine soccer, feminisms, social memory
