Abstract

This work was developed through a participant observation conducted in 2006 in a school that serves street adolescents in Porto Alegre (RS). The research focuses on the value of body as a marker of gender in the experience of sociability revealed by the group studied and analyzes football matches as a space for establishing relational and hierarchical boundaries among the subjects, drawing on discussions about honor and masculinity. Football matches are seen here as social games which determine values built in a relational way among adolescents and educators.
