Call for Abstracts | Sport, Emotions, and Social Life: Exploring Affective Dimensions of Contemporary Sporting Cultures, a session in the RC58 at the ISA World Congress of Sociology |...
Sport is one of the most emotionally charged domains of contemporary social life. From the excitement of competition and collective celebrations of victory to experiences of shame, fear, disappointment, belonging, and resilience, emotions are deeply embedded in sporting practices, institutions, and cultures. At the same time, emotions are not merely individual experiences; they are socially produced, regulated, performed, and contested within broader relations of power, identity, and inequality. This joint session brings together scholars working at the intersection of the sociology of sport and the sociology of emotions to examine how affective processes shape sporting participation, spectatorship, governance, and representation.
Call for Papers | Sociology of Sport and Emotions, Working Group 21 of the online Third Congress of the International Network for the Sociology of Sensibilities (RedISS) | October...
How sport is organised and practised can influence public health, community well-being, and social mobilisation, making it a fundamental field of study for understanding the complexities of human interaction and social structures. Therefore, it is essential to understand how emotions influence sporting practice and how, in turn, sport impacts our emotions. In this working group, we aim to create a space for critical reflection on these interactions, to promote research that delves into the role of emotions in the construction of sporting identities.
