Itinéraire d’un club communautaire polonais : le Club sportif Orion à Montceau-les-Mines (années trente - années soixante)
2013
Le Club sportif Orion est une société de football créée dans les années trente à Montceau-les-Mines, au cœur du bassin industriel de Saône-et-Loire. Des années trente aux années soixante, le fonctionnement de l’association présente des traits bien spécifiques. Le Club se démarque des « sociétés bourgeoises » parce qu’il réunit des migrants polonais pour qui le sport est une activité de loisir. Outre sa dimension populaire, il présente donc aussi une dimension communautaire forte qui perdure au-delà de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, associant tradition du pays d’origine et jeunesse montcellienne issue de l’immigration. Mais le club, qui recrute membres et supporters dans un périmètre géographiq…
Le dénigrement de l’autre par le biais de la langue. Une étude pilote dans le domaine du foot en France.
2015
International audience; This article presents an exploratory study that aims to link social sciences, linguistics and sport. Based on the group-focus enmity concept which focuses on existing depreciations among individuals due to their alleged affiliation to a specific social group, we ask how theses alleged social groups treated like entities are concretely devaluated by using words, especially in highly competitive fields like sport. Even this innovative concept is a fundamentally open concept into which further elements can be integrated, we focus on 5 key elements: racism and xenophobia (1), anti-semitism (2), homophobia (3), sexism (4) and anti-capitalism (5). Even this article can onl…

Results indicated a beneficial influence on football motivation and satisfaction, and overall trainee satisfaction. Methodological and applied su…
Adapting to Finland through professional football : perceptions of players and coaches

The present study explores how football migrants (foreign professional football / soccer players) perceive the adaptation process in Finland.

A method for calculating the crowding-out effect in sport mega-event impact studies: The 2010 FIFA World Cup
2011
Tourist expenditures constituted the largest part of the economic impact of South Africa's 2010 FIFA Football World Cup. However, limited air transport capacity and increased accommodation prices may have led to crowding-out effects. Until now, crowding-out could only be considered by using econometric modelling based on data of inbound arrival or accommodation statistics. This paper suggests a methodology for measuring the crowding-out effect precisely. It is based on the available statistics in South Africa and is applicable at province level. An important innovation is to distinguish crowding-out from time-switching effects. The paper explains the theoretical framework of crowding-out as…
