description This paper aims to discuss the ways in which Uruguayan national identity is constructed through football narratives. These narratives occur in the popular and mass scene, uncovering some of the most conservative symbolic cultural structures. The analysis of two advertisements is proposed; one dedicated to the Uruguayan men's football team in the context of men's World Cup held in Russia in 2018, and the other during the men's soccer America's Cup, held in Brazil in 2019. The assumption is made that Uruguayan national narratives are based on a macho-heroic discourse, which expels women from football, as well as any form of masculinity other than the hegemonic one. Some thought is given to the ways in which the discourses on an imagined Uruguayan identity are legitimized and configured. Finally, a theoretical-methodological approach to build new narratives which recover the history and experience of women football players in Uruguay is proposed.

These narratives occur in the popular and mass scene, uncovering some of the most conservative symbolic cultural structures. The analysis of two advertisements is proposed; one dedicated to the Uruguayan men's football team in the context of men's World Cup held in Russia in 2018, and the other during the men's soccer America's Cup, held in Brazil in 2019. The assumption is made that Uruguayan national narratives are based on a macho-heroic discourse, which expels women from football, as well as any form of masculinity other than the hegemonic one.

Finally, a theoretical-methodological approach to build new narratives which recover the history and experience of women football players in Uruguay is proposed. Este trabajo discute sobre las formas en que la identidad nacional uruguaya es construida a través de los relatos del fútbol —relatos que se producen en la escena de la cultura popular de masas y que descubren algunas de las estructuras simbólicas más conservadoras—. Propongo así analizar dos publicidades dedicadas a la selección uruguaya de fútbol masculina, en el marco del Mundial de Fútbol masculino celebrado en Rusia en el 2018 y en la Copa América de fútbol masculino jugada en Brasil en el 2019. El trabajo parte de la hipótesis de que las narrativas nacionales uruguayas están basadas en un discurso machista-heroico, que dejan por fuera del fútbol a las mujeres y toda forma de masculinidad que no sea la hegemónica. De esta forma, presento una reflexión sobre las formas en que se legitiman y configuran los discursos acerca de una identidad imaginada sobre lo que es ser uruguayo(a). Finalmente expongo una propuesta de abordaje teórico-metodológico para construir nuevas narrativas que recuperen la historia y la experiencia de las mujeres jugadoras de fútbol en Uruguay. 2021-12-30 2022-03-17T17:21:12Z 2022-03-17T17:21:12Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/529 10.29192/claeh.40.2.10 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/46237 spa http://publicaciones.claeh.edu.uy/index.php/cclaeh/article/view/529/405 Derechos de autor 2021 Cuadernos del Claeh http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Centro Latinoamericano de Economía Humana (Universidad CLAEH) Cuadernos del Claeh; Vol. 40 Núm. 114 (2021); 149-163 2393-5979 0797-6062
