摘要：In order to discuss the academic production within sport and leisure studies in Brazil using the framework of Burawoy, this article analyzes the objectives of four research groups dedicated to public policies in this area. Mapping the academic production from this perspective, we observed some inconsistencies. Research on sport and leisure policies provides some useful contributions, however it engages only incipiently with public sociology and organic intellectualism. Much of the academic production proceeds from the perspective of critical or political sociology, and evaluation of public policy predominates.
