Objective | The lectures set out to: - present the different dimensions, functions and interrelationships of present-day sport - provide an introduction to the central theories and models of (sport) sociology - show how far sport reflects society and how it changes and becomes more differentiated in the process - take current examples from newspapers, magazines and television to highlight the sociological view of sport. |
Content | • Sport and social change: developments and trends • The economy and the media: dependencies, consequences, scandals • Social inequalities and distinctions: gender differences and group behavior • Conflicts and politics: sports organizations, doping, violence |
