運動係男性霸權及宰制之場域,用來鞏固與維持以男性為主的性別意識型態;然而性別議題並未廣受運動社會學者及女性主義者的關切,甚至曾被視為「女性主義的繼子」。本研究目的在揭露運動場域蘊含的性別意識型態,及性別議題研究的邊緣化現象。研究方法則是透過論述分析來批判並檢視西方現代運動與性別的歷史與脈絡。研究結果顯示運動係主要保留予男性的場域;其與男性氣概的構連使得女性成為運動場域的「她者」。本研究結論揭露女性掙扎於賦權與被物化的困境中,以及運動性別議題研究長期遭受冷落。本研究建議臺灣運動社會學研究者應關切運動與性別研究議題的歷史脈絡,未來宜朝運動社會學性別議題研究主流化的道路邁進。
Sport is considered to be a site of male hegemony and domination. It was used to consolidate and maintain the male-dominated gender ideology in sports field. However, gender issues have not been widely studied by sport sociology scholars and feminists. Once it was viewed as a stepchild of feminism. The purpose of this study was to debunk the gender ideology embedded in the sport and marginalization of gender issue studies. Methodologically, this study employed discourse analysis to critique and examine the contexts of sport and gender in the western history. The results indicated that sport is a site preserved mainly for male and its linkage with masculinity makes women being "others" in the field of sport. The study concluded that women were struggling in a dilemma between empowerment and being objectified. Moreover, the gender issue studies had long been overlooked. This study suggests that Taiwanese sport sociology scholars should pay more attention on the historical contexts of sport and gender studies, and need to move towards gender issue mainstreaming in sport sociology.
