Sport et Sixties
Les 16e Carrefours d’histoire du sport, sur le thème « Le sport et les sixties », se dérouleront à Lyon (69) du 27 au 29 octobre 2014.
La culture sportive est rarement présentée comme une caractéristique majeure de la génération des sixties. Pourtant, elle connaît un développement sans précédent sous l’effet de la politique scolaire et sociale menée par Maurice Herzog. Elle traduit par ailleurs de profondes mutations sociales dans le rapport au corps.
Les 16e carrefours investiront cette problématique. Quels sont les apports de la génération du baby-boom sur le développement des sports ? Dans quelle mesure, les mutations socioculturelles des « sixties » concernent aussi le phénomène sportif ?
Le prix Pierre Arnaud sera attribué à un jeune chercheur à cette occasion.
Appel à communication jusqu’au 15 décembre 2013
Body, culture & religion
Statement of Purpose
There is no known religious practice that does not involve bodily motions (bowing, standing, walking, fasting, feasting, etc.) and their associated emotions, nor the use of given material things (shrines, musical instruments, substances of various kinds). Both involve the sensory apparatus of touch, sight, smell, etc. Without disregarding religious discourses and creeds, the conference will focus on the cultures of religious practice with a strong emphasis on both ethnographic documentation and theoretical elaboration based on a few basic principles -- the importance of Bodily and Material Culture, and Religious Subjectivation involving technologies of the self.
The theme of bodily and material cultures of religion has been explored by the path-breaking publications of the journalMaterial Religion (see Meyer et Al., 2010). In addition to the various theoretical suggestions published in the Journal, we propose to take into account the publications of the “Matière à Penser” (MàP) network. (see Warnier 2007, 2009, Naji & Douny 2009, Julien & Rosselin eds. 2009). See CFP for further information on the MàP approach.
Call for Proposals and Films
We welcome proposals from
, faculty and independent researchers based on ethnographic fieldwork focused on both bodily and material cultures of religious practice as part of the production of a religious subject in different areas and religious settings (Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Asiatic, African and other religions, etc.). The papers should address theoretical issues, whatever theoretical references may be put to use, provided they articulate bodily and material cultures. We aim at establishing discussions between various academic traditions on both sides of the Atlantic and the Channel. Short documentary films (e.g. 20 min maximum as a rule) showing the intertwinement of bodily and material cultures in religious practice are welcome. The proposals (of ca. one page) should be addressed to the convenors. They will be assessed by the organizing committee of the conference. Ultimately, we expect to end up with an edited volume.
