CFP: Sport, Identity and Social Division in Canada
Call for Papers
Sport, Identity and Social Division in Canada
(Volume 33, 2006)
From Confederation in 1867 onward, the burgeoning Canadian nation has used organized sport as a vehicle to create an emblematic identity that has strongly supported patriotic affirmation. And, paradoxically, organized sport has also been used as a strategy aimed at the maintenance of minority cultural identities. The metaphorical power of organized sport, wedded to its malleability as a culturally-significant element, has enabled it to evolve into both a vehicle permitting integration with the predominant Canadian society, and one through which minority cultural identity is affirmed. Successive waves of migrants to our shores brought in their train a number of sporting activities that either mirrored the minority identities of the immigrants or influenced the dominant Canadian culture. Moreover, the domain of sport is characterized by social tugs of war between divergent interests that are defined not only by gender, national, ethnic or linguistic groupings but also by social class. Today, more young people play soccer than hockey, although hockey is more often than not played by men. And while its mythical power to bind the country together has begun to wane, it remains a vital expression of Canadian nationalism. But which of Canada’s identities is reflected by hockey? Masculine, white, violent and smacking of capitalism? Or a renewed identity, one that embraces the other national communities (Quebec and the First Nations), ethnocultural communities, as well as bilingualism, women and social inequalities? What is the role of sport in both the creation and the reproduction of identities and inequalities in Canada? How do such interactions play out between the various groups involved in and affected by sport? Does sport aid in promoting certain social identities to the exclusion of others, or rather in the establishment of specific criteria for belonging? Clearly, the issues of sport, identity and social division in Canada have been and remain today a complex problematic.
The International Journal of Canadian Studies, together with the Research Centre for Sport in Canadian Society, of the University of Ottawa is seeking submissions of papers that reflect the diversity of experiences, inequalities and representations of sport in Canada from historical, sociological, political, anthropological and ethnographical perspectives.
Kindly submit your paper (20-30 pages), along with an abstract of 100 words or less, by May 1, 2006 to the Guy Leclair, Managing Editor, IJCS, 250 City Centre, S-303, Ottawa, Ontario. K1R 6K7 Canada.

Sport, identités et clivages sociaux au Canada
(Volume 33, 2006)
Dès la Confédération en 1867, le sport organisé a servi d’outil d’affirmation patriotique dans la construction d’une identité emblématique de la nation canadienne naissante. Il a servi aussi, paradoxalement, de stratégie pour assurer le maintien des identités culturelles minoritaires. Compte tenu de son pouvoir métaphorique et de sa malléabilité à titre de signifiant culturel, le sport devient tout autant un outil d’intégration à la société canadienne majoritaire que de véhicule d’affirmation des minorités culturelles. Les vagues successives d’immigration ont amené avec elles de nombreuses pratiques sportives, reproduisant les identités minoritaires ou influençant la culture majoritaire canadienne. Par ailleurs, le terrain du sport est caractérisé par des luttes sociales entre des intérêts divergents selon les sexes, les groupes nationaux, ethniques, linguistiques et les classes sociales. Aujourd’hui, davantage de jeunes garçons jouent au soccer plutôt qu’au hockey, mais ce dernier est toujours le sport le plus pratiqué chez les hommes. Et bien que son pouvoir mythique d’intégrateur national commence à perdre de son ampleur, il demeure une expression manifeste du nationalisme canadien. Mais de quelle identité canadienne? Une identité masculine, blanche, violente et associée au capitalisme? Une identité renouvelée, inclusive des autres communautés nationales (le Québec et les Premières Nations) et communautés ethnoculturelles, du bilinguisme, des femmes et des inégalités sociales? Quel est le rôle du sport dans la production et la reproduction des identités et des inégalités au Canada? Comment se jouent les interactions entre ses divers groupes dans et par le sport? Le sport participe-t-il à la mise en valeur de certaines représentations à l’exclusion d’autres, à l’établissement de critères d’appartenance particuliers? Ainsi, la question du sport, des identités et des clivages sociaux au Canada a été, et reste encore aujourd¹hui, une problématique complexe.
