摘要：The general question that orientates a wider research is this: how it is presented and defi ned
sport (and, therefore, a variety of body capitals that determine people‘s lives) by the subgenre
of sport movies?
In this framework, this article focuses on three silent fi lms (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: fi rstly, we summarize the content analysis of those
fi lms 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 fi lms coincide with what is said in the written texts of the fi eld.
Consequently, we must not underestimate its value as a primary source for research.
