Abstract: This research aims at investigating the collective imaginary of teenagers concerning sport. It is justified as part of a larger project, which aims at proposing a differentiated setting to be used in institutional contexts and which has sport as playful mediation. It is methodologically organized around the use of the Thematic-Drawing-and-Story Procedure in a collective psychological interview with nineteen teenagers who attend a NGO dedicated to professionalizing teenagers from low-income families. This interview was registered through a transferential narrative encompassing interactions, happenings, and the researcher’s subjective impressions. Considering the production under the psychoanalytical method allows for the creation of four affective-emotional meaning fields: “Sport is success”, “Sport is courage”, “Sport is healthy” and “Sport is dangerous”. The overall picture indicates the predominance of a favorable, though utilitarian, view on sport, which does not disfavor its use in psychological clinics.
