Welcome to the third season of “Critical Perspectives”, cycle of Francophone meetings dedicated to the debate of ideas in the field of humanities and social sciences. Organized by the Institut français, Italy, “Critical Perspectives” intends to introduce in Italy a few researchers who stand out in the panorama of the current French research. The Institut français of Italy participates in the debates that animate the Italian society, proposing meetings and public lectures by researchers, teachers and essayists French speakers that offer critical and innovative theoretical perspectives on the contemporary world.
In 2016, Critical Perspectives will be dedicated to the theme of Sport and its related issues. It is in effect a year rich in sporting events, in particular for France, which hosts the European Football Championship. Also in the field of human sciences, sport is becoming more and more a topic discussed critically, and numerous are the French initiatives at this regard: the literary magazines and Desports e So Foot, the Jules Rimet Award of sports literature, the festival “Sport, letteratura e cinema” in Lyon increase the interest on the sport, and football in particular, as a cultural and social phenomenon as well as simply spectacular and competitive.
Follow the “Critical Perspectives” 2016 cycle on the online magazine Le parole e le cose, which will publish articles written by the invited researchers.
