On the tatamis that I have frequented assiduously since 2016, it appears that fighting virility is not exclusively masculine, but rather constitutes a collective quest that transcends gender categories. Through an ethnography conducted within two French clubs, I demonstrate that virility must first be constructed, then maintained, through intense and constant physical commitment. This commitment makes both male and female practitioners what I call “durs au mâle”. However, it should be emphasised that female practitioners must not only compete to assert their virility, but also manage a double burden: that of being recognised as competent while negotiating their femininity within an environment that is often dominated by male norms. This quest for virility thus becomes a question of perspective, revealing how female bodies can be perceived as threats to male virility, while opening the way to a redefinition of gender roles in this context.Cet article examine la notion de virilité dans le contexte du jiu-jitsu brésilien, en soulignant la façon dont elle est vécue et incarnée par les pratiquantes et les pratiquants. Sur les tatamis que je fréquente assidûment depuis 2016, il apparaît que la virilité combattante n’est pas exclusivement masculine, mais constitue plutôt une quête collective qui transcende les catégories de genre. À travers une ethnographie menée au sein de deux clubs français, je démontre que la virilité doit d’abord être construite, puis maintenue, par le biais d’un engagement physique intense et constant. Cet engagement fait des pratiquantes et des pratiquants ce que j’ai nommé des « durs au mâle ». Toutefois, il convient de souligner que les pratiquantes doivent, quant à elles, non seulement rivaliser pour affirmer leur virilité, mais aussi gérer une double charge : celle d’être reconnues comme compétentes tout en négociant leur féminité au sein d’un environnement souvent dominé par des normes masculines. Ainsi, cette quête de virilité devient une question de perspective, révélant comment les corps féminins peuvent être perçus comme des menaces pour la virilité masculine, tout en ouvrant la voie à une redéfinition des rôles de genre dans ce contexte.Cairn free access |
