CFP: The Development of Football: Commercialization, Culture and Identity

The Development of Football:
Commercialization, Culture and Identity

Thursday, April 8 – Saturday, April 10, 2010

Department of Sport Science, Malmö University
Location, Orkanen


Ever since the revolutionary breakthrough of television and, a decade or so later, the infamous Bosman ruling, the world of association football has been divided into strong centers, less powerful semi-peripheries, and more or less marginalized fringes. Some national leagues have, in sporting and economic terms, left the others far behind. The same pattern is apparent in women’s football. What’s more, there’s a clear division within the national leagues as well, with the same handful of rich and famous clubs claiming top positions in the league tables. Is this the football of the future? Is the division into centers and peripheries beneficial for football? These are some of the themes and question that will be penetrated at Malmö University’s important international football conference.

The conference on football will have a number of interesting keynote speakers – with local, global and glocal focuses. Confirmed speakers are Richard Giulianotti (UK), John Hughson (UK), Hans Hognestad (Norway), Boria Majumdar (India), Torbjörn Andersson (Sweden) and Jesper Fundberg (Sweden).

The conference committee now invites participants to present PAPERS, preferably, but not necessarily, relating to the following themes:

• The Status and the Prospects of National Football Leagues
• Post-Bosman and the Development of Football
• The Globalisation/Glocalisation of Football
• Football and Local and National Identity
• Directions in Contemporary and Future European Football
• The Future Development of Women Football
• Sponsoring and Marketing of Women Football
• The Implication of the 6+5 Rule or the Economic Doping of Football Clubs

Please submit ABSTRACTS (250 – 400 words) electronically to

• Annika Larsson (annika.larsson@mah.se)

no later than December 15, 2009. Notification of acceptance will be given on January 11, 2010. Accepted articles must be submitted in full by March 15th, and will be considered for publication in a special issue of Soccer and Society, in 2011, or in Nordic Sport Studies Forum.

For further information, please contact Bo Carlsson, Malmö University (bo.carlsson@mah.se)


But Actually, It’s Two Conferences...

The Department of Sport Science is organizing two separate, and yet partly coinciding conferences, under the joint heading of ”Centers and Peripheries in Sport”. Both conferences are focusing on inequalities in the development of sport. The first conference, “The Development of Football: Commercialization, Culture and Identity”, commencing on the 8th of April, acknowledges the inconsistencies in association football between centers and peripheries in the European context. On Saturday the 10th a particular focus on women’s football will mark the end of the first conference and the opening of the second conference, “The Development of Women Sport: Separate but not Equal”, which concentrates on the development of women’s sports, with an emphasis on equality and differences. A separate Call for Papers for the second conference has been distributed, and can be accessed through the conference website, http://www.centersandperipheriesinsport (active from October 26, 2009).

The Development of Women Sport:
Separate but not Equal

Saturday, April 10 – Monday, April 12, 2010

Department of Sport Science, Malmö University, Malmö, Sweden

Location, Orkanen

Gender differences and similarities, and whether differences and similarities should be reflected in the organization of sports, is a hotly contended issue in media, in sports, and between scholars. There is consensus about the basic inequalities within sports, but how can that be corrected? Who will spearhead the campaign for gender equality in sports, and in what way should it be run? I various ways, feminists have tried to steer society towards gender equality; but how did the association sports respond? These and many more questions concerning men, women and sports will be subject to thorough exploration at this unique conference.

The conference on gender and sports will have a number of exciting keynote speakers: Raewyn Connell (Australia), Kari Fasting (Norway), Pirkko Markula (Canada), Celia Brackenridge (UK), Gertrud Pfister (Denmark), Sigmund Loland (Norway), Marion Keim (South Africa), Boria Majumdar (India) Martin Polley (UK), Susanna Hedenborg (Sweden).

The conference committee now invites participants to present PAPERS, relating to the theme of gender, women and sports.

Sport&EU 5th Annual Conference: ‘The challenges of sport governance’

University of Ghent (Belgium), 1^st and 2^nd July 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS AND PANELS

The Association for the Study of Sport and the European Union (Sport&EU) is pleased to announce that its 5^th annual conference will be held at the University of Ghent (Belgium) on the 1^st and 2^nd July 2010, coinciding with the Belgian presidency of the European Union.

With the Treaty of Lisbon about to enter into force, the European Union will for the first time be equipped with a direct competence in the area of sport. Moreover, the implementation of the 2007 European Commission White Paper on Sport and the Action Plan Pierre de Coubertin is shaping and re-defining to some extent the policies of the EU towards sport. The last couple of years have featured a focus on the transformation of sport governance and the new roles of public authorities, governing bodies and stakeholders in the organisation of European sport. Sport&EU’s 5^th annual conference sets to explore the latest research on the current challenges and possible solutions to improve sport governance.

The conference organisers invite now the submission of paper and panel proposals addressing issues pertaining to sport governance and to the role of public authorities (including but not limited to the European Union) and non-governmental sport organisations at different levels in the governance of sport. The organisers would value proposals that do not focus only on professional sport, and papers analysing the consequences of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty are welcome as well. Papers and panels with an interdisciplinary approach are especially welcome and submissions by PhD students are encouraged.

For more information on the conference, please visit our website at www.pswx.ugent.be/seuc2010

For single paper proposals, send a 250 words abstract, together with a short biography and your contact details.

We especially encourage full panel proposals (maximum of 3 papers per panel): For this send (in a single file) a 250 words panel abstract, together with a 250 abstract for each paper.

Please also include a chair for the panel (if you cannot find a chairperson, we will allocate one) and a bibliographic note for each paper giver. The contact details of the panel proposer should also be included.

All paper and panel proposals should be sent to charlotte.vantuyckom@ugent.be by 25 January 2010.

Please note that all the proposals will be subject to peer review by the conference’s scientific committee. Successful proposals will be notified by 25 February 2010.

SEMINAR: Sport and Leisure History, Univ of Hertforshire

SPORT AND LEISURE HISTORY SEMINAR

'PEASANTS INTO SPORTSMEN: SPORT AND THE MAKING OF MODERN ITALY'

Speaker: Simon Martin (British School at Rome/University of Hertfordshire)

During the last century sport stimulated and revealed social change,
political transition and economic development in Italy, while providing
rituals and shared experiences that were fundamental in the construction
of the nation’s modern identity. This paper will explore how sport became
such an integral part of Italian social, economic and political life. It
will also reveal how the formerly elitist, minority pastime that was
restricted to the cultural margins of the newly created, industrially
retarded and regionally divided nation-state, metamorphosed into a
national, mass cultural and social institution that symbolises and
reflects Italy’s modernisation.

Through analysis of specific events and sporting personalities in liberal,
Fascist and postwar democratic Italy this paper will consider why sport
has been such a consistently important feature of twentieth-century
Italian life; what is its relationship with Italy’s social, economic and
political modernisation; to what extent, and with what success, Italian
sporting traditions and communal experiences been exploited to inculcate a
sense of shared, national identity by all governments; and how sport help
us rethink traditional questions about modern Italy?

Dr Simon Martin won the British Society for Sport's History’s Lord
Aberdare Prize for literary history in 2004 for his book Football and
Fascism: The National Game Under Mussolini (Berg, Oxford, 2004), which was
based on his PhD thesis. Awarded postdoctoral funding by the Leverhulme
Trust, he continued his research on sport and modern Italy and his
forthcoming book, Sport Italia. The Italian Love Affair with Sport, will
be published by IB Tauris in 2010. Dr Martin has taught at UCL and the
University of Hertfordshire, where he currently holds a Visiting
Fellowship, and is a Research Fellow at the British School at Rome.

GRANT: Diversity in Sport Dissertation

Diversity in Sport Dissertation Grant

The Laboratory for Diversity in Sport at Texas A&M University is pleased to announce the Diversity in Sport Dissertation Grant. This is a $1,000 award presented to a student who will complete a doctoral dissertation by August 15, 2010. Any doctoral student conducting research in the area of diversity in sport and physical activity is eligible for the grant.

Overview.
Diversity represents one of the most important issues in sport and physical activity today. From a managerial standpoint, changing demographics, equal employment opportunity laws, social pressures, and the promise of diversity’s positive effects on the workplace have all contributed to the increased heterogeneity of sport organization employees. Research indicates, however, that diversity can have varied effects in sport organizations. As such, it is imperative for managers to understand how diversity influences the workplace and factors that can facilitate the positive effects of diversity.

From a social standpoint, sport has historically been a context where persons with certain characteristics—that is, White, able-bodied, heterosexual, Protestant men—has been privileged relative to those persons who do hold those characteristics. This form of privilege is largely still in place today. Social scientists are charged, therefore, with understanding (a) the experiences of members of under-represented groups, (b) how their experiences in sport influence their subsequent attitudes and behaviors, and (c) what policies can be implemented to ensure that sport is a setting open to all persons, irrespective of their demographic characteristics, values, or beliefs.

Guidelines.
Students should complete the attached information sheet, complete a proposal for funding, and provide a detailed budget. Each proposal should be no more than three pages of text (excluding references, tables, figures, and/or appendices). The proposal should include (a) an introduction, (b) an overview of the theoretical framework adopted for the study, (c) the proposed methods, (d) the data analytic procedures, (e) the expected results, and (f) the implications of the research for the study of diversity in sport. On a separate page from the written proposal, students should provide a detailed budget of how they plan to use the funds. Proposals should also include a letter of support from the student’s advisor. Preference will be given to those studies focusing on the issues outlined in the Overview section.

Students should submit four copies of the grant proposal to:
