Sport and Leisure History Seminar: Call for Papers
Dear all,
We are now looking for speakers for the 2010/11 programme of the Sport and
Leisure History seminar at the Institute of Historical Research, which
takes place in the Ecclesiastical History Room at 17:15 on Mondays
fortnightly. The purpose of this seminar group is to provide a forum for
the presentation and discussion of leading edge research in the history of
sport and leisure and its relationship with wider cultural, social and
political issues, covering a vast selection of nations and periods, from
antiquity to the present. We are looking for papers on a broad range of
topics, including but not limited to:
• Sport and leisure and identity
• Sport and leisure and gender
• The experiences of participants in sport and leisure
• The treatment and interpretation of sport and leisure in various media
• Sport and leisure and the physical environment
• Commercial aspects of sport and leisure
• Cultures of spectatorship and fandom
• Sports administration
• Sports diplomacy
• Issues of exercise, health and fitness
• Tourism and holidaymaking
For the purpose of achieving greater diversity in our subject matter this
year, we are looking in particular for papers on non-sporting forms of
leisure and on non-British topics, although each abstract we receive will
be considered on its own merits. If you are interested in presenting your
research, please send an approx. 200-300 word abstract for your planned
paper, as well as a brief biography, to sportshistory@hotmail.co.uk by
Friday, August 27th. Please also indicate which of the following dates you
would be able to do (if you could do potentially do one of any number of
dates, please say so):
Autumn term: Oct 11; Oct 25; Nov 8; Nov 22; Dec 6
Spring term: Jan 17; Jan 31; Feb 14; Feb 28; Mar 14; Mar 28
Summer term: May 9; May 23; Jun 6; Jun 20
Finally, we are also considering trialling the podcasting of some of our
seminars (just the papers, not the subsequent questions) during the
forthcoming academic year, with these podcasts then becoming available
online from the IHR website. If you would be interested in letting your
paper be one of those that we podcast, please let us know.
Many thanks,
The Convenors

CONFERENCE: ISSA 2011, Cuba : Planning Info
Dear All,
As you know, the International Sociology of Sport Association http://www.issa.otago.ac.nz will hold its 2011 Congress in Havana, Cuba. The congress is scheduled for July 12-15, 2011. The response to date from interested attendees suggests that we may need to place a SOLD OUT banner across the announcement page. We already have approximately 200 prospective & confirmed attendees from Latin American countries as well as USA citizens. We'd have the option to add more sessions as well as an additional day. To do so, we need NASSServ members from Canada and non-North Americans to quickly register their interest.
Please write to me at the return address or chris.hallinan@monash.edu if you are planning on, or will genuinely consider, attending the Congress. We will need to modify our dates (if needed) before the conference website becomes operational. Please write before August 1. This will greatly assist planning and probably guarantee you a good cup of Cuban coffee each day - a useful beverage prior to any Hallinan, Jackson, et al. presentation.
Cheers & best regards,
Chris

SYMPOSIUM: Japanese Reflections on the History of Sport
Japanese Reflections on the History of Sport
One-day Symposium
Wednesday 8 September 2010
Organised by the International Centre for Sport History and Culture, De
Montfort University, Leicester, UK
The history of sport has its origins in the UK and North America and has
subsequently been dominated by themes specific to each region such as class
in the UK and ethnicity in North America. This symposium highlights original
research by Japanese scholars that sheds new perspectives on sports history.
Rather than offer comparisons between the UK and Japan, it brings a
distinctly Japanese viewpoint, underlining Edward Said¹s idea of
ŒOrientalism¹. Said had argued that perceptions of Japan and Asia more
generally had been shaped by the West¹s distinctly romantic and exotic view
of the Asian continent. As a result, much of the earlier links between
Europe and Japan have been overlooked. This symposium highlights the process
of adaptation and acculturation of Western sports since the late 19th
century within a Japanese context. It explores issues such as the body in
Japanese society, the role of the military, the media, amateurism and
gender, emphasising the historical significance importance of language,
geography and imperialism.
Programme:
11.00-11.15 Introduction
11.15-11.55 Dr Keiko Ikeda, Yamaguchi University ŒThe Body: A Historical
Perspective¹
11.55- 12.35 Dr Hiroo Sasaki, Ryukoku University ŒChanges in Body and
Health Values along with Modernization of Japan¹
12.35-1.15 Dr Miho Koishihara, Kokushikan University, Tokyo ŒThe
Emergence of the ³Sporting Girl²: Narrative of Athletic Bodies in Japanese
Girls¹ Magazines of the 1920s and 1930s¹
1.15-2.15 Lunch
2.15-2.45 Daishi Funaba, PhD Student, Yamaguchi University ŒFrom
Sporting Amateurism to Fascism under the Period of Japanese Imperialism¹
2.45-3.15 Dr Masayuki Ishii, Waseda University, Japan, ³ŒSportsmanship²
in the Press in the late 19th and early 20th Century¹
3.15-3.30 Tea
3.30-4.00 Roundtable Discussion
The cost of symposium will be £10

Scholars from various disciplines and interdisciplinary fields examining issues relevant to the sociological study of sport and physical culture are encouraged to submit their work. Scholars interested in submitting an abstract are invited to follow the Submission Procedures and Presentation Rules outlined on page 3 of this document.
2010 NASSS Conference Theme
This year’s conference theme is “Producing Knowledge, Producing Bodies: Cross-Currents in Sociologies of Sport and Physical Culture.” This theme encourages scholars to reflect on sport and physical culture as they are increasingly situated within the constellation of biomedicalized, bioeconomic and biocultural discourses. Indeed, in North American societies, biopolitics speaks to the surveillance and regulation of the bios (the “life” of the population, according to Foucault) and increasingly comes to shape the ways in which individuals understand, govern and care for their bodies and themselves: a pervasive public morality is hence internalized and perpetuated at the micro-level. Powerful biomedicalizing, bioeconomic and biocultural discourses work together to inform and inflect sport and physical culture as well as individuals’ relation to their body. No longer involved in sport and other bodily practices simply for the pleasures they offer, individuals are now motivated by mandates to achieve health and the healthy, productive body. In our neoliberal societies, individuals become “entrepreneurs” of themselves: they are imagined to produce the satisfactory health and wellbeing that they will enjoy and “consume.” In contrast, those who are ill or discursively constructed as “unhealthy” or “obese” accrue a kind of social debt that must be redeemed by locating themselves within compensatory discourses and praxes that implicate sport and, more generally, physical culture. Bodies, all types of bodies, are being produced in very personal but also very public ways. For the 2010 Conference, NASSS scholars are invited to discuss the production of such bodies in the context of biomedicalizing, bioeconomic and biocultural discourses. The 2010 NASSS Conference welcomes all papers dealing with the sociological or sociocultural study of sport and/or physical culture, but it is particularly interested in papers addressing these issues.

REPORT: Gender in Televised Sports: News and Highlights Shows, 1989-2009
The Center for Feminist Research at the University of Southern California announces the release of GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS: NEWS AND HIGHLIGHTS SHOWS, 1989-2009, a research report authored by Michael Messner of the University of Southern California and Cheryl Cooky of Purdue University, with an Introduction by Diana Nyad. The study has tracked the quantity and quality of men's and women's sports on TV news and sports highlights shows over a 20-year time frame at five-year intervals. The 2010 report reveals that the amount of coverage of women's sports on three network affiliate news programs and on ESPN's SportsCenter nearly evaporated in 2009, falling to its lowest level in any year in the study. The report is available to the public and can be found at: http://www.usc.edu/dept/cfr/html/home.htm

CFP: Sport and Drama
Call for Papers - Sport and Drama
In his essay “Athletes of the Heart,” John Larh suggests that “Playwrights and theatre aestheticians have always envied the articulate energy and popularity that sport enjoys.” He further clarifies his views following the work of Antonin Artaud, who saw actors as “athletes of the heart” and searched for a new kind of theatre that called for “affective athleticism.” Since Larh’s essay was published in 1982, there has been an increasing interest in the relationship between sport and art generally and, more recently, in sport and drama specifically. Following this interest, a forthcoming issue of Aethlon: The Journal of Sport Literature will be devoted to sport and drama. Papers could include, but are not limited to, the following:
An original play
Critical analysis concerning drama
Critical analysis of work by a single playwright
Critical analysis of athletes in drama
Critical analysis of a play
Comparisons and contrasts of work by playwrights
Papers should follow MLA format and conform to acceptable format concerning font, margins, etc. For further information concerning guidelines for submission, please refer to: http://www.uta.edu/english/sla/aethlon.html
Papers should be submitted by November 21, 2010, to Dr. Susan J. Bandy, guest editor of this issue, which will be published early in 2011.
Inquiries and papers should be sent to: susanjbandy@yahoo.com

CONFERENCE: 8th eass conference at Umeå University
Your are invited to the 8th eass conference at Umeå University, Wednesday 18 to Sunday 22 May 2011. In Umeå we welcome social scientists with empirical, theoretical and cross disciplinary studies on the conference theme
People in motion - bridging the local and global
Sport is a cultural expression in societies all over the world. Seen as an international language, sport bridges the local and global. Sport is by the engagement of the body, the equipment and the place a local phenomenon. At the same time the social significance of sport is global. Thus studies on sport and people in motion are important with local as well as global perspectives. These issues are the main themes of the 8th eass conference in Umeå 2011.
Find more information at the conference web-site http://www.eass2011.se.
We apologize for any cross postings!
See you in Umeå!

Papers for the refereed papers session should deal closely with issues related to the conference theme of “Social Justice in Intercollegiate Sport.” They may relate to sport in general or to intercollegiate athletics specifically, as long as they are clearly connected to the conference theme of “Social Justice in Intercollegiate Sports.” Papers may highlight scholarship from the sciences, social sciences, economics, humanities, or any number of professional fields that are either directly or indirectly related to intercollegiate athletics. To be considered for the refereed paper sessions, authors most submit a 500-600 word abstract of the proposed paper via e-mail to David Wiggins, dwiggin1@gmu.edu, and copy the abstract submission to Ketra Armstrong, karmstr2@csulb.edu.
The deadline for proposal submission is October 1, 2010. Individuals will be notified of the results of the review process in early November 2010.
