  Conference, symposium - Representation

  Comics and sport

  During the final talks of the fruitful international conference named “body languages in comics” set up by the junior drawn sciences laboratory of the Ecole normale supérieure (ENS) in Lyon on 8th and 9th October 2014, the idea to carry on, in a more precise way, the numerous debates on the occasion of a later scientific event was mentioned. In light of this, the C3S laboratory (“culture, sport, health and society”) of the University of Bourgogne/Franche-Comté organises holding an international symposium in order to study how sport is depicted in comics. Researchers in the C3S laboratory dedicate their work to sport sciences with a theoretical and epistemological commitment marked by interdisciplinarity. According to this stance, the international conference is open to various contributions allowing to understand the representations (whether they be historical, sociological, anthropological, literary, semiotic, psychological…etc…) of sport in comics.

  The margins of games

  Sciences du jeu journal no.7

  À partir de quel moment une activité peut-elle être qualifiée de jeu ? À contrario, quand pourra-t-on dire que ce n'est plus un jeu ? Divers types de dispositifs annoncés comme des jeux questionnent cette frontière entre le jeu et le non-jeu, soit en incorporant des éléments habituellement considérés comme constitutifs du jeu dans des objets à vocation non ludique, soit en transformant ou en détournant des objets dont la vocation initiale relève du jeu vers des finalités dites « sérieuses ». Nous proposons aux auteurs d’appuyer leurs réflexions sur l’étude d'activités ou dispositifs, traditionnels ou numériques, qui se revendiquent du jeu tout en se démarquant du pur divertissement.

  Sports, genders and sexualities

  Social, Ethical and Political Challenges

  As expressions of cultural embodiment, sexualities, genders and sports can be analyzed as a mirror of societies’ transformations and developments. The analysis of sports, gender and sexuality can be a key to analyze changes and persistence's in social interactions and collective representations. This workshop seeks to create a discursive space for contributors to explore the social, ethical and political criticalities arising in the interaction between sports, gender and sexualities in contemporary societies. We invite papers aimed at both understanding the relationships between sports, genders and sexualities, and using them as a tool to analyse broader social, ethical and political transformations. As such, such, we hope to provide both critical evaluation of current theories and paradigms by which sport, gender and sexuality are understood and encourage the opening of new horizons for critical investigations.
