For some time, researchers have tried to understand the meaning of sport and other forms of movement. This was certainly the case of Professor Lars-Magnus Engstr\u00f6m, who devoted virtually his whole professional career to a longitudinal studie of 2000 Swedes who were born in 1953, in order to gain understanding of their motives and motivation for participating in sports and other movement activities. Professor Engstr\u00f6m started the study in 1968 and the last time the informants were contacted was in 2006, thirty-eight years later. Inspired by the French cultural sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, Engstr\u00f6m developed a theoretical framework based on the concept logic of practice<\/em> in order to understand why some people develop a taste for being physically active and, importantly, in what forms of practice they participate.<\/p>\n

Angela Schneider, H\u00e5kan Larsson, Jim Parry<\/p><\/div>\n

In this session, researchers from the humanities and the social sciences will contribute to a deep and nuanced understanding of logics of sport practices. The first speaker, Professor Angela Schneider, Western University, London, Ontario, Canada, will give a philosophical account of the meaning of sport in contemporary society, in particular put in relation to ethical issues. More specifically, the question of whether the ethics of sport is tied to the logic of the practice of sports will be addressed.<\/p>\n

The second speaker, Professor H\u00e5kan Larsson, The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, Stockholm, Sweden, will outline his theory of the logic of sports practices based on the intersection between Pierre Bourdieu\u2019s cultural sociological \u2018toolbox\u2019 and Lars-Magnus Engstr\u00f6m\u2019s insights from his 38-year follow-up study. This approach suggests that rather than projecting rational objectives, such as health, education or sport performance, to movement activities, the activities must be understood on the basis of the practical logic of the activities themselves as they unfold over\u00a0time.<\/p>\n

The third and last speaker, Professor Jim Parry, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, will examine the logic of competitive sports from the perspective of analytical philosophy. He will utilise the techniques of conceptual analysis, suggesting logically necessary conditions for the use of the word \u201csport\u201d, and he will try to show how the resulting criteria can act both as a demarcation device (between sport and non-sporting activities), and as a source of value prescriptions for sporting practice.<\/p>\n

The invited session [IS-SH07]\u00a0The logics of practice of sports \u2013 outline of a theory <\/strong>will start 10:20\u00a0Saturday 27th\u00a0June in Lecture room \u201cLive 2\u201d.<\/p>\n
