Sumario:The objective of this work is to analyze the gendered meanings of the public sphere that are put into play when a group of women appropriates a space historically constructed as masculine: the soccer field. Based on the ethnographic fieldwork carried out together with La Nuestra Fútbol Feminista and adopting a historical-dialectical perspective of the public sphere, I examine the social relations, meanings and practices that are built around the Güemes football pitch in the Villa 31. I identify the disruptions generated by the insertion of women into this space, I analyze the narrations that are built around the conquest of the football field, and I explore the reconfigurations of the relationship between the public and the private spheres that this process entails. Finally, I show that the politicization of the oikos and the oikonization of public space can be simultaneous and mutually interdependent processes.
