HISTORIANS ON SPORT
International Centre for Sport History and Culture,
De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
Saturday 25 October 2008
10.30-5:00pm
This is a reminder for ‘Historians on Sport’, which has run each year from 2001. As usual it features distinguished scholars, who do not work directly on sport but have a serious interest in its historical development. The aim is to stimulate new ways of thinking about sport both in terms of method and topic. This year we have a full morning session on the history of sporting image, style and representation (Nead, Boddy and Breward) whilst the afternoon looks at religion, imperialism and radio (McLeod, Darbon and Williams). Lynda Nead and Christopher Breward come from the world of the visual arts while Kasia Boddy’s recent history of boxing grew out of her work on American literature. Hugh McLeod recent gave an invited series of lectures on sport and religion in nineteenth century Britain at Cambridge whilst Sebastien Darbon, an anthropologist, has recently published a major work in French on British imperialism and sport. Finally, we also include a sports history specialist, Jack Williams, who has been working recently on cricket and the BBC between the wars. Papers are for 30 minutes with 15 minutes for questions plus a general discussion at the end of the day.
Speakers include:
Prof. Lynda Nead, Dept of the History of Art, Birkbeck College, University of London, ‘Ringcraft: under the spell of boxing’
Dr. Kasia Boddy, Dept. of English, UCL, University of London, ‘Boxing and Cultural History’
Prof. Christopher, Breward, Royal College of Art and the V&A, ‘Sport and Fashion’
Prof. Hugh McLeod, Dept of History , University of Birmingham, ‘Religion and Sport in nineteenth century Britain’
Prof. Sebastien Darbon, University of Bordeaux and CNRS (Laboratoire Ethnologie), ‘Sport and British Imperialism’
Dr.Jack Williams, Dept. of History, Liverpool John Moores University, ‘Cricket, Broadcasting and English Identity’
If you have not already registered, please contact James Panter (JPanter@dmu.ac.uk) or call +44 (0)116 250 6486. The charge is £20 for the day (£10 for students) and includes a buffet lunch.

CFP: Special issue: Cultural Foundations of Sport & Tourism
Call for Papers
Journal of Sport & Tourism
Special issue: Cultural Foundations of Sport & Tourism
Deadline for submission: 1 April 2009
Purpose of the special issue:
The activities and interactions of tourists and sportspeople implicate matters of culture. Anthropologists have consequently paid considerable attention to tourism , while others have considered the cultural foundations of sport. Their work has been complemented by anthropological work on events, and by efforts to bring the culture concept to bear on sport subcultures. Yet, sport tourism researchers have barely capitalized on the potentials enabled by these significant intellectual foundations.
This special issue seeks high quality papers that address any issue raised by the intersection of culture with sport and tourism. Papers can be conceptual or empirical, but should contribute to advancing theoretical and/or practical considerations having to do with the cultural foundations of sport tourism.
Requests for further information and expressions of interest should be directed to the Guest Editor for this special issue, Professor Laurence Chalip (LChalip@mail.utexas.edu)
Manuscripts should be sent electronically as an eMail attachment directly to LChalip@mail.utexas.edu. All submissions will be subject to JS&T’s standard double-blind peer review process. Authors should prepare manuscripts according to JS&T’s instructions for authors available on the journal webpages: www.tandf/journals/titles/14775085.asp
