  From « Traditional » Games to Digital Games

  Since the early 2000’s, the importance of studying digital games has increased to take a significant place in the academic literature dedicated to entertaining phenomena, to such a point that many articles offering to make an inventory of current “game studies” primarily focus on work related to games on this media. In this context, we cannot ignore the fact that work aimed at conceiving and studying digital games is also regularly referred to as reflections on (non-digital) “traditional” games, whether to build their theoretical framework, or to conduct comparative and contrastive studies. According to us, this kind of mutual lighting encourages researchers to examine the peculiarities and complementarities of the two areas, as well as the theoretical interest of connecting or of confronting them. Therefore, in order to analyse the relations established between “traditional” games and digital games, this call is divided into five themes that give a broad overview of the different kinds of possible links. All types of research, fundamental or applied, as well as disciplinary approaches are welcome.

  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...).
