Stacking et discrimination : le cas de deux études en contexte virtuel

Resume A partir de la theorie du stacking, cette recherche vise a questionner les processus de discrimination mis en œuvre (couleur de peau et genre) en sport.

Le phénomène de racial stacking, où comment (ré)interroger les mécanismes de discrimination dans les pratiques sportives ?

National audience; Mes travaux s’articulent autour de la notion d’exclusion / d’inclusion, en lien notamment avec la question de l’appartenance catégorielle des individus et des relations intergroupes. Mon intervention s’intéressera plus spécifiquement au concept de racial stacking, c’est-à-dire à des faits observables de discrimination raciale repérés in situ. En lien avec ce phénomène, seront discutés le rôle de la catégorisation sociale dans le processus de discrimination, et l’impact des stéréotypes sur les individus et leur comportement.

For a socio-psychological approach of the concept of racial stacking

AbstractResearch studies focusing on the relationships between team sports and socio- ethnicity have developed in the Anglo-Saxon literature since the 1970s. In particular the use of the concept of racial stacking confirms a growing interest in a more complex vision when it comes to player selection and positioning. In basketball, studies have identified that black players are overrepresented in the American professional basketball championships (NBA) and at the same time patterns of racial stacking exist as they are overrepresented at non-central positions. This research led to a survey of black players’ positions in the professional championships in France (Pro A basketball). Using social…
