Learning outcomes
The course aims at introducing to the critical knowledge of: 1. the main theories of the sociology of communication; 2. the historical trends of mega-events in the context of globalization; 3. the theories of sociology of sport and the process of “sportivization”. At the end of the course the students will be able to know: 1. the main theories and the methods of social research on sport events; 2. the tecniques of social research for the analysis of tv sport audience; 3. the conceptual repertoire and a specific lexicon to appropriately describe the empirical relations among sport, media and sponsor.
Program
In the first part, the course will be dedicated to the analysis of the concept of communication, with reference both to the main theories and to the changes introduced by the transition from mass media to personal media.
It will go on to discuss the characteristics of sport mega-events in the context of globalisation, with particular reference to football and athletics.
In the last part I will analyse the concept of play and sport and the trend towards sportivization.
We shall explore, then, the trend towards social inclusion through sport and organized and unorganized physical activities.
