This workshop attempts to provide more insight on the relationship between Muslims who live in Europe and sports-physical activity.

The beginning of the XXI century is characterized by the development of international tourism practices. This activity, that has deeply changed the relation to time and space in the western world since the XVIII century, is now conquering the expanding countries of Asia. This specific moment of adoption of an activity and its practices, give the opportunity to analyze the various aspects of its growth. Are we observing a phenomenon of transfers, mutations or creations? If the development of tourism inChina and India has been studied for several years, its development in Indonesia still requires an in-depth analysis. How is this new activity appropriated in the fourth most populous country in the world? What are the effects on the Indonesian society, whose distinctiveness comes from the diversity of its people, cultures, and religions, throughout its 17,000 islands, from Sumatra to Papua?

To what extend can football be a part of european identity?
Appel à contribution pour le colloque « Y a-t-il un football européen ? » qui se déroulera le vendredi 7 mai 2010 à l'Université Paris Descartes. Quinze ans après l'arrêt Bosman, l'idée d'un « football national » en Europe semble plus que jamais dépassée. Parallèlement à l'ouverture des frontières, la suppression des quotas de joueurs en provenance de l'Union européenne a modifié considérablement le paysage du football. Des voix se sont même élevées contre cette réglementation accusée d'avoir « tué » les petits championnats et permis aux grands clubs, mieux dotés, d'asseoir leur hégémonie. Par ailleurs, on ne compte plus les exemples de clubs alignant des équipes constituées pour moitié, voire en totalité de joueurs d'origine étrangère, ni les clubs voire les sélections nationales entraînées par des coachs étrangers (Capello en Angleterre...).
