Uses, practices and experiences of digital sports

Special issue International Journal of Sport Science and Physical Education

The digitisation of sport involves the use of connected self-tracking devices and/or mobile training apps (such as Strava), which enable users to collect, store, view, process and, in some cases, share physical activity data such as time taken, distance covered, speed, heart rate, calories burned and GPS tracking. The widespread phenomenon of early distancing from digital sports devices seems to temper the promises made in the rhetoric of digital sport. This special issue aims to document the plurality and ambivalence of everyday uses of digitalisation (self-quantification and use of mobile applications) in sporting contexts.

Body awareness: therapy, practice, pedagogy

The theme of body awareness has been chosen for this conference, given the marked resurgence of interest in "reconnecting" with the body and sensations in our contemporary societies. We will concentrate on the different areas where body awareness offers new perspectives of practice and research, from healthcare to education, including the arts and sports. However, the increased visibility of this concept has also led to a proliferation of discourses and practices lacking any real conceptual or methodological foundation. These are often driven by the growing popularity of alternative or New Age approaches. The aim of this conference is to clarify the current situation by distinguishing between knowledge and practices that are supported by research and those that are not.

Diplomacies, Diplomats, and Sports, 19th–21st Century

Unlike the often-speculative analyses of many experts, this conference aims to examine the relationship between diplomats, diplomacies, and sport by analyzing sources (archives, interviews, etc.), with a focus on its forms, practices, and the actors who shape them. The theme of sport and international relations has remained a largely overlooked area in scholarly research within history, international relations, and organizational sociology.

Challenges and Perspectives

Ce colloque constituera un espace de réflexion autour du positionnement de l’animation socioculturelle par rapport aux défis internationaux et mondiaux et de repenser les rôles, les pratiques et les enjeux, il sera aussi une occasion de promouvoir l’animation socioculturelle qui devrait évoluer vers l’affirmation d’une nouvelle convergence visant, par ses modes et ses méthodes d’interventions, la concrétisation des objectifs du développement durable tels que la citoyenneté la dignité et la réduction des inégalités sociales dans leurs différentes facettes, mais aussi être un levier de concrétisation et d’expérimentation de l’efficacité des objectifs du développement durable.

Discrimination and Inclusion. The Organisation of Sport and Physical Education in Europe from Antiquity to Modern Times

29th International Congress of the European Committee for Sports History (CESH 2026)

L’objectif du XXIX^e Congrès du CESH, qui se tiendra du 16 au 18 juin 2026 à l’Université de Rouen Normandie, est d’étudier les conditions selon lesquelles le sport et l’éducation physique se sont révélés être des puissants vecteurs de discrimination, d’inégalités et d’exclusion dans l’histoire, et aussi les modalités et les possibilités d’en faire un lieu de lutte contre ces inégalités et discriminations.

Sport, Politics, and Society

According to some specialists, sport is a universal phenomenon which, in various forms, has always existed. For others, the existence of sport in Antiquity cannot be envisaged because, at that time, it was a cultural practice with a strong religious dimension. Whatever these debates, sport can be defined as an activity practiced alone or in a group, an activity requiring physical qualities, strength, skill, reflexes, endurance, and moral qualities. Practitioners observe rules specific to each sport, exercise for their own pleasure, their health or compete in competitions. This activity is partially institutionalized: many sportsmen and women join specialized clubs, affiliated to federations that define regulations and organize official competitions, Olympic Games, world, national and regional championships, tournaments, grand prix, land or sea races, etc.

Desires in the Art Worlds

Tensions, Dynamics, and Reconfigurations

This conference explores the multiple dimensions of desire in contemporary art worlds, examining its forms, tensions, and implications. It aims to rethink the role of desire as a driving force of creation, the artist’s condition in the face of inequalities and violence, the place of desire in artistic work, the norms that shape desired or excluded bodies, and the practices that seek to frame or regulate these dynamics. By engaging with these perspectives, the conference invites participants to reflect on the relevance of desire as an interpretative key and to envision new representations for art and its actors.

When Painting Captures the Athletic Body: The Case of Fernand Léger

Special Issue of “Sport History Review”

The general idea behind this special issue for the Sport History Review is to bring together an international team of some thirty renowned researchers within the field of sports history and a team of directors, curators, lecturers, resident experts and public program coordinators, etc., from the Alpes-Maritimes museums (Musée Léger, Musée National Marc Chagall and Chapelle Picasso) specializing in Fernand Léger’s work, in order to produce new, scientific knowledge based on both a thematic approach by sports category and a more cross-disciplinary approach. The major series of works produced by Fernand Léger between 1903 and 1955 constitute the corpus of this collective research project.

The culture of the bottle. Uses and visual representations of alcoholic drinks in the 17th and 18th centuries

Colloque international du Groupe de recherche en histoire de l’art moderne (GRHAM)

En faisant dialoguer les chercheurs engagés dans l’exploration de ce thème enivrant et interdisciplinaire, le colloque annuel du GRHAM souhaite questionner la notion de « boisson alcoolisée » en France, en Europe et dans le reste monde afin de mieux comprendre les modalités et les enjeux relatifs à sa représentation. Une approche globale des échanges et des consommations dans le monde pourrait éclairer un regard trop souvent centré sur l’Europe. D’autant plus que différents troubles (conflits armés, sécheresses, inondations…) bousculèrent ponctuellement les habitudes des consommateurs européens.

Negotiating One’s Place in the Mountains: Radical Perspectives on Experiences of – and Challenges to – Domination

Alors que les approches radicales constituent un champ important en sciences sociales depuis plusieurs décennies, elles restent peu représentées dans les travaux portant sur les montagnes. Ces approches entendent mettre en évidence les rapports de domination qui traversent les sociétés et la façon dont ils s’entrecroisent. Sans s’en tenir à une simple description des inégalités sociales, il s’agit, dans la lignée de la pensée marxienne, d’expliquer profondément ces inégalités en décryptant les rapports sociaux de domination qui les sous-tendent et en faisant pour cela appel à des pensées systémiques et à des approches matérialistes. Ce numéro vise à montrer la fécondité des approches radicales pour penser les processus de minorisation, sur lesquels repose la reproduction des modèles économiques et politiques dominants, comme leur contestation à l’œuvre en montagne.

« Sports for the Planet? » La durabilité des grands événements sportifs - postdoctorat en sociologie du sport

You will be engaged in a research project titled “Sports for the Planet? The Sustainability of Major Sports Events”, which is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. As resource-intensive and highly visible undertakings, major sports events have a heightened responsibility to be sustainable. Yet, the sustainability of these events is largely under-studied. This project aims to fill this gap by developing a conceptual model, indicator framework and contextual analysis of the sustainability of major sports events.

Renewal and transformation of sport participation issues for people with disabilities

Profitant de l’occasion apportée par les Jeux olympiques et paralympiques à Paris en 2024, ce numéro de la revue Aequitas souhaite porter un regard attentif aux évolutions qui touchent tout autant le sport compétitif de haut niveau que les diverses formes d’activités sportives, physiques ou motrices de loisir pour les personnes ayant des incapacités. Ainsi, qu’en est-il de la transformation du regard sur la participation sociale à travers la participation des sportifs dans le domaine international du para-sport, dans celui du sport pour tous les publics spécifiques, particuliers ou vulnérables, de l’handisport et du sport adapté ou encore du sport partagé, collaboratif ou participatif dans des institutions particulières ? À cette question de la participation sportive qui apparaît désormais moins comme une question relative à l’éducation, la rééducation ou même la santé que comme une question de droit, répond en écho à celle de la visibilité des personnes ayant des incapacités dans le sport.
