  Technologies of the self - normativity and subjectivity in self-evaluation

  Study day by the "Body, Technology and Society" group of the Association française de sociologie (AFS)

  Cette journée d’étude se propose de questionner le processus technico-social par lequel les capteurs d’activité produisent des normes. C’est justement afin d’ouvrir la boîte noire, tant technique que sociale, de la « normativité » des instruments d’auto-mesure, que la journée d’étude convie à dialoguer des intervenants qui s’intéressent à des aspects complémentaire de la « norme ».

  Call for papers - Sociology

  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.
