About the course
Aim
After completion of the course the student will be able to:
- identify and describe different cultural and theoretical perspectives on sport and globalisation
- apply central concepts in global studies on the study of sports
- account for the cultural significance of sports, both globally and locally
- critically discuss how sports can be politicized and appropriated
Content
The course applies cultural perspectives on sports as a global industry and a local practice. It discusses the social, cultural and political impact of sport and how different actors try to exploit it for various purposes. Drawing on contemporary theory and empirical examples it analyses how sport is politicized for national and ideological purposes and appropriated through so called sportwashing.
