Abstract

The general question that orientates a wider research is this: how it is presented and defined sport (and, therefore, a variety of body capitals that determine people's lives) by the subgenre of sport movies? In this framework, this article focus on three silent films (Brown of Harvard, 1926; College, 1927; The Freshman, 1925) produced in the USA during the Roaring Twenties. The plots of these three stories take place in different university campuses. We have organized our tale in two parts: firstly, we summarize the content analysis of those films in order to show the dominant discourses (image of university life, role of sport in this social context, models of femininity and masculinity, signs of fragility and dispossession...) and, within them, possible discrepancies. Secondly, as an (unnecessary) triangulation, we propose the contrast between the tone of what is said in the movies and what could be read at that time in other, more academic, texts. If we abide by this (unnecessary) triangulation, the conclusion is that the explanations contained in these three films coincide with what is said in the written texts of the field. Consequently, we must not underestimate its value as a primary source for research.
