Call for Papers | Analyzing African derbies in the era of global sportocracy: What new perspectives do the humanities and social sciences of politics offer on these club rivalries...
This symposium examines African derbies from a renewed perspective offered by the social sciences and humanities of politics. From Cairo to Soweto, via Yaoundé, Casablanca, Accra, Dar Es Salaam and Algiers, the rivalries between African clubs, rooted in time and space, can legitimately be the subject of renewed scientific discourse similar to that produced on other European, American or Asian derbies, in an era of global sportocracy that is expanding and deepening football. A three-pronged scientific effort is presiding over this heuristic renewal around African derbies.
