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.
