Abstract
This paper aims to suggest an alternative, theoretical, methodological framework for exploring how socio-cultural, underlying realities construct dominant gendered discourses within the Israeli context. This paper also attempts to shed light on the link between the discourse of militarization and its implicit penetration into Israeli civil society and sports. Moreover, this paper argues that, to some extent, this underlying, contextualized, flowing discourse marginalizes women and some men from decision-making positions in sports organizations. Therefore, it provides an interesting perspective from which to analyze voices and narratives of the (predominantly female) “other†through poststructuralist feminist lenses. It might also elaborate the historical, contextual construction of current discourses of masculinity and femininity that shape the culture of Israeli sports organizations and society as a whole. Therefore, this paper introduces readers to the theoretical and methodological processes of narrative revisions, critical discourse analysis (CDA), and the context of the production of gendered knowledge. By using constructivism, rather than positivist ontology, this study elaborates upon, and reveals, how different societal discourses produce and reinforce gender inequities in Israeli sports organizations, which continually (and to some extent, implicitly) exclude women from gaining access to leadership positions.
