This special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport will explore the storied history of cycling. Moving beyond specific histories of the Tour de France, which abound for cycling, this special issue will consider the world beyond Le Grande Boucle. Dr. Thomas Ross Griffin invites proposals for papers with a broad focus on the history of cycling, including, but not limited to, sport history, cultural history, diplomatic history, global history, environmental history, or media history.

A sport club is not only a sporting institution. It is a dense accumulation of founding myths, statues, museums, official histories, hall-of-fame portraits, anniversaries and commemorative rituals through which a collectivity tells itself who it is. In Pierre Nora’s terms, the club operates as a lieux de mémoire: a site where a chosen past is consecrated, made visible and put to work in the present. This special issue takes that proposition seriously and asks a single guiding question across different national settings: how does a club’s manufactured heritage actively shape its present.

This special issue aims to reflect on the central preoccupation of McFee’s work, namely, the contextual understanding of sport and the implications of that for our ability to dissolve philosophical puzzlement as it arises in relation to matters in sport, or perhaps even sometimes elsewhere in philosophy. We encourage submissions that reflect on, and elaborateon, McFee’s work in relation to sport, or investigations of matters not considered by McFee that apply his methods in new contexts. We encourage submissions that employ insights and methods from McFee’s work in new contexts.

For this special issue, we welcome contributions exploring the mutually constitutive relationship between sport, competition, and affect. To explore the unresolvable tension between empowerment, docility, unruliness, and social hierarchy brought forth by sporting practice, we invite cultural, ethnographic, and historical case studies to analyse how subjects fashion themselves and are themselves fashioned by affect in sport. Our collective aim is to emphasize the political, cultural and visceral conditions of competition which play a role in racializing, gendering, dis-/enabling, and sexualizing its subjects.

This special issue seeks contributions that explore the histories of women in football in all their complexity and at all levels. We welcome papers that expand, challenge, and reimagine dominant historical narratives, that highlight lesser-known experiences from across the world, and speak to the experiences of all who shape the sport. In particular, we encourage authors to situate their work in relation to the political, social, and cultural significance of major tournaments past and present, including the rapidly evolving global profile of the women’s game leading into 2027 and 2028.
