Twenty-five years of analysis of the spanish populations sportive behaviour (1980-2005)
2006
The study of the Spanish population sport behaviour from the beginning of the democratic transition until de middle of the first decade of the XXI century, relies on a strong theoretical and empirical basis, six national social surveys that cover the 2005-1990 period. All the six sport social surveys have the same sponsorship, the Sport Council (CSD), the same Institute of Social Research (CIS), and the same author, the one that has prepared the present article. The longitudinal analysis of the main results allows to frame, both theoretically and empirically, the advance of the posmodernization processes in the Spanish sport social system as well as in the sport behaviour of the Spanish pop…
Veinticinco años de análisis del comportamiento deportivo de la población española (1980-2005)
2006
El estudio de los hábitos deportivos de la población española desde los inicios de la transición democrática hasta mediados de la primera década del siglo XXI, cuenta con una rigurosa base empírica de resultados, ya que en el periodo 1980-2005 se han llevado a cabo con una periodicidad quinquenal seis encuestas probabilísticas de alcance nacional con una continuidad tanto en su patrocinio, el Consejo Superior de Deportes, como en el instituto de investigación que ha realizado las encuestas, el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas, y en la dirección de la investigación y análisis y publicación de los resultados. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis resumido y diacrónico de los resultado…
Globalización, valores sociales y choque de civilizaciones
2005
The thesis of the supposed clash of the Islamic and the western civilizations is, by far, the most diffused and debated of all the subjects and proposals dealt Huntington in his book <i>The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order</i>, above all after the terrorist attacks of the September 11<sup>th</sup>. The results of the World Social Survey 2000-2001 directed by Inglehart, are used in the present article to test the thesis of the cultural differences in a wide sample of Western Christian and Islamic societies. The comparative analysis undertaken allows to conclude that the cultural differences between both group societies are quite important, althou…
Public Opinion, National Integration and National Identity in Spain: The Case of the Barcelona Olympic Games
1997
. This article analyses the impact of the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Games on national integration and national identity in Spain with respect to the conflict of interests that developed around the Games between the centre and Catalonia. We argue that polarisation along nationalist lines was limited in large part because national identity in Spain today is not predominantly a unitary and exclusive entity. Dual identity, loyalty to both Spain, on the one hand, and to one's region, or nation as in the case of Catalonia, on the other, and inclusive nationalism that does not aim at complete national independence, increasingly have tended to predominate in the last decade and a half. The Olympics, t…
The glocalizing duality of contemporary sport
2010
AbstractThis paper assesses the current debate, in the sphere of the sociology of sport, on globalization and sport, arguing that the advance of world sport now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, is better understood in terms of the phenomenon of glocalization, that is, as a process by which global demands and forces conform or adapt to local conditions (Robertson), contributing in this way to the production of ‘township’ and ‘community’ and to the emergence of national identities. The 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the 1993 European Football Championship and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Football Cup are presented as examples of the dual and paradoxical character of contemporary sport i…
Los Juegos Olímpicos como NOMS. El olimpismo en la sociedad deportivizada global
2016
En este trabajo se presenta la tesis de que los Juegos Olímpicos modernos pueden interpretarse, trascendiendo su dimensión estrictamente deportiva, como un Nuevo Objeto-Mundo Social. Desde esta perspectiva teórica se establecen dos hipótesis de investigación. La primera tiene que ver con la fundamentación empírica de su carácter de objeto-mundo social. La segunda sostiene que el éxito alcanzado por los Juegos Olímpicos se ha debido principalmente a que el Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI) se ha relacionado con el resto de instituciones que conforman el Sistema Olímpico con criterios incluyentes. El amplio trabajo bibliográfico llevado a cabo junto con el material empírico consultado en lo…
