Dear Delegate,

Welcome to the Fifth International Conference on Sport and Society. The conference and its associated journal were created to
explore the connections between sport and its broader context, addressing, amongst other things, the organizational,
educational, technological, ethical, and political relationships between sport and society.

We are pleased to hold this year’s conference at Universidade Salgado de Oliveira (UNIVERSO) in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
just days after the finale of the FIFA World Cup. This year, we are exploring the special focus, “Sport and Development”. Under
this focus we will consider sports and sporting events as opportunities for global cooperation and development goals across a
range of areas. Additionally, we will explore the impact of sports and sporting events on communities, nations, and international
relations. The conference is happy to welcome delegates who have travelled to this event from all corners of the earth and
represent a breadth of professions and areas of study. We thank you for bringing your particular insight to this important
dialogue.

We also hope that you will join us next year in Toronto, Canada, 30-31 July 2015 at the University of Toronto to continue this
multifaceted conversation and to contribute your own unique perspective to our annual themes, the 2015 special focus -‘Sport
in the Americas’, and of course, the Pan American Games.

In addition to organizing the International Conference on Sport and Society, Common Ground publishes papers from the
conference at www.SportandSociety.com/Publications, and we do encourage all conference participants to submit a paper
based on their conference presentation for peer review and possible publication in the journal. We also publish books at
www.SportandSociety.com in both print and electronic formats.

Thank you to all who have put such a phenomenal amount of work into preparing for the Sport and Society Conference. I am
particularly thankful for the efforts of Professor Keith Gilbert of the University of East London, and both Professor Roberto
Ferreira dos Santos and Professor Renata de sa Costa of Universidade Salgado de Oliveira (UNIVERSO). I also want to thank my
Common Ground colleagues for all of their work on the conference, especially Rachael Arcario, Ian Nelk, and Kim Kendall

We wish you all the best for this conference, and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from
around the corner and across the world.

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Phillip Kalantzis-Cope

Director, Common Ground Publishing

ABOUT COMMON GROUND

Our Mission
Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate in creating collaborative knowledge and to share that
knowledge with the greater world. Through our academic conferences, peer-reviewed journals and books, and innovative
software, we build transformative knowledge communities and provide platforms for meaningful interactions across diverse
media.

Our Message
Heritage knowledge systems are characterized by vertical separations—of discipline, professional association, institution, and
country. Common Ground identifies some of the pivotal ideas and challenges of our time and builds knowledge communities
that cut horizontally across legacy knowledge structures. Sustainability, diversity, learning, the future of the humanities, the
nature of interdisciplinarity, the place of the arts in society, technology’s connections with knowledge, the changing role of the
university—these are deeply important questions of our time which require interdisciplinary thinking, global conversations, and
cross-institutional intellectual collaborations. Common Ground is a meeting place for these conversations, shared spaces in
which differences can meet and safely connect—differences of perspective, experience, knowledge base, methodology,
geographical or cultural origins, and institutional affiliation. We strive to create the places of intellectual interaction and
imagination that our future deserves.

Our Media
Common Ground creates and supports knowledge communities through a number of mechanisms and media. Annual
conferences are held around the world to connect the global (the international delegates) with the local (academics,
practitioners, and community leaders from the host community). Conference sessions include as many ways of speaking as
possible to encourage each and every participant to engage, interact, and contribute. The journals and book series offer fully-
refereed academic outlets for formalized knowledge, developed through innovative approaches to the processes of submission,
peer review, and production. The knowledge community also maintains an online presence—through presentations on our
YouTube channel, monthly email newsletters, as well as Facebook and Twitter feeds. And Common Ground’s own software,
Scholar, offers a path-breaking platform for online discussions and networking, as well as for creating, reviewing, and
disseminating text and multi-media works.

Scope and Concerns

This knowledge community focuses on four logics of sport:

Game Logic
Sport’s psycho-social motivations are built around a variety of game logics. Games are spaces of recreation and leisure; they are
places of not-work; they stand outside the immediately functional, productive logics of employment and citizenship. However,
they also reflect and reinforce the moral meanings of broader society: the values of energetic commitment; the virtue of
developing skill; the challenge of striving to achieve; the rigors of competition; the rewards afforded to effort; the ethics of formal
equality of opportunity (the ‘level playing field); the vicissitudes of chance; magnanimity in loss; and in team sports the ethics of
collaboration. The virtues of the ‘sporting spirit’ are complement aspirational values in a wide variety of practices in education,
work and civic participation.

Yet the spirit of sport sits in tension with other complex and at times contradictory forces, ostensibly less part of its ‘true spirit’
but which nevertheless at times seem intrinsic to its gaming logic. Is sport ritualized aggression, quasi-military in its formation,
and to the extent that it is, is it a catharsis or catalyst sublimating other problems? Are values of competition a necessary and
proper reflection of the motivations that drive market societies, or do they represent ‘survival of the fittest’ logic in which a few
perennially win at the expense of the many who, game logic dictates, must lose? To what extent does game logic also tempt
transgression of rules, from cheating to doping? How do we negotiate racism, sexism, homophobia and denigratory nationalism
in sports?

Body Logic
Sport also rests on a range of body logics. One logic is one of health, a counterpoint to work which for the majority of modern
people is largely sedentary. Sport is a necessary antidote. Another logic is that of body image, captured visually in the ideal type
of the physically fit man or woman. Another logic is body-to-body contact, the strictly delimited violence of contact sports or
bodily co-ordination in sports of graceful movement. Another is the subtle or not-so-subtle expression of sexuality in sport.
 5

However, sitting in tension with these idealizations are difficulties and challenges intrinsic to the logic of the sporting body itself.
How do we make sports accessible to, and inclusive of, bodies outside of the ideal body type? How do we deal with the
tendency to lionize unnatural extremes in the sporting body, and the over-exercise, drugs or assistive technologies which may
be used to produce extreme effects? How do we reduce violence in sport and connected with sport? How do we address the
perils of the sexualization of sport? How do we negotiate polyvalent sexualities?

Aesthetic Logic
There are multiple aesthetics to sport, too. Sporting activities are driven by stories. The game is an open-ended, participatory
narrative. It is a journey in time and space--the race or the match, for instance. Sporting achievements fold into everyday life
narratives. Then there is the intrinsic aesthetic of movement, of graceful or impressively forceful bodies in time and space, of
being outdoors or in a specially designed indoor spaces. Sport is also driven by ritual: formalised beginnings, stages and ends
for participants and the stuff of spectacle and entertainment for viewers. This is the raw material for representation in
conversation, media, advertising and the arts-through discourses, imageries, sounds and tactile sensations. Sport’s sites of
representation are print, television, radio, the internet--indeed any and all media, each with its characteristic forms and all in a
state today of radical transformation.

However, sitting in tension with a positive aesthetics are the often crude functionalism of sporting spaces, the rabid
commercialization of popular sport, the passivity of the spectacle and limited and differential access to the media for different
sports or categories of player.

Organizational Logic
Sports are forms of social organization. They depend upon, and are always supported by, institutional infrastructures and
processes of management. Physical facilities are needed. Players need to learn to play. They need times and places to practice,
and coaches to lead. These are the pragmatics of doing sport, and doing it well. This is the stuff of sports education, sports
medicine and sports management, practiced by and for amateurs as well as professionals.

However, how does organization logic at times lead to excessive commercialism or even exploitation? When it does it become
overburdened by bureaucracy? When does leisure become work in a way that perhaps defeats the purpose of sport-as-leisure?

The International Conference on Sport and Society and its companion journal, book series and online community are places for
the systematic examination a relationship in which sport oft-times enhances social life, while at other times it reflects broader
social challenges as well as raising challenges unique to sport itself. These the discussion forums of this knowledge

COMMON GROUD AND THE SPORT COLLECTION AND BOOK SERIES

About Our Publishing Approach
For three decades, Common Ground Publishing has been committed to creating meeting places for people and ideas. With 24
knowledge communities, Common Ground’s vision is to provide platforms that bring together individuals of varied geographical,
institutional, and cultural origins in spaces where renowned academic minds and public thought leaders can connect across
fields of study. Each knowledge community organizes an annual academic conference and is associated with a peer-reviewed
journal (or journal collection), a book imprint, and a social media space centered around Common Ground’s path-breaking
‘social knowledge’ space, Scholar.

Through its publishing practices, Common Ground aims to foster the highest standards in intellectual excellence. We are highly
critical of the serious deficiencies in today’s academic journal system, including the legacy structures and exclusive networks
that restrict the visibility of emerging scholars and researchers in developing countries, as well as the unsustainable costs and
inefficiencies associated with traditional commercial publishing.

In order to combat these shortcomings, Common Ground has developed an innovative publishing model. Each of Common
Ground’s knowledge communities organizes an annual academic conference. The registration fee that conference participants
pay in order to attend or present at these conferences enables them to submit an article to the associated journal at no
additional cost. Scholars who cannot attend the conference in-person may still participate virtually and submit to the journal by
obtaining a community membership, which also allows them to upload a video presentation to the community’s YouTube
channel. By using a portion of the conference registration and membership fees to underwrite the costs associated with
producing and marketing the journals, Common Ground is able to keep subscription prices low, thus guaranteeing greater
access to our content. All conference participants and community members are also granted a one-year complimentary
electronic subscription to the journal associated with their knowledge community. This subscription provides access to both the
current and past volumes of the journal. Moreover, each article that we publish is available for a $5 download fee to non-
subscribers, and authors have the choice of publishing their paper open access to reach the widest possible audience and
ensure the broadest access possible.

Common Ground’s rigorous peer review process also seeks to address some of the biases inherent in traditional academic
publishing models. Our pool of reviewers draws on authors who have recently submitted to the journal, as well as volunteer
reviewers whose CVs and academic experience have been evaluated by Common Ground’s editorial team. Reviewers are
assigned to articles based on their academic interests and expertise. By enlisting volunteers and other prospective authors as
peer reviewers, Common Ground avoids the drawbacks of relying on a single editor’s professional network, which can often
create a small group of gatekeepers who get to decide who and what gets published. Instead, Common Ground harnesses the
enthusiasm of its conference delegates and prospective journal authors to assess submissions using a criterion-referenced
evaluation system that is at once more democratic and more intellectually rigorous than other models. Common Ground also
recognizes the important work of peer reviewers by acknowledging them as Associate Editors of the volumes to which they
contribute.

For over ten years, Common Ground has been building web-based publishing and social knowledge software where people can
work closely to collaborate, create knowledge, and learn. The third and most recent iteration of this project is the innovative
social knowledge environment, Scholar. Through the creation of this software, Common Ground has sought to tackle what it
sees as changing technological, economic, distributional, geographic, interdisciplinary and social relations to knowledge. For
more information about this change and what it means for academic publishing, refer to The Future of the Academic Journal,
edited by Bill Cope and Angus Phillips (Elsevier 2009).

We hope that you will join us in creating dialogues between different perspectives, experiences, knowledge bases, and
methodologies through interactions at the conference, conversations online, and as fully realized, peer-reviewed journal articles
and books.

JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTIONS, OPEN ACCESS, ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Institutional Subscriptions
Common Ground offers print and electronic subscriptions to all of its journals, including those in The Sport Collection. Common
Ground also offers subscriptions to themed journal collections and custom suites based on a given institution’s unique content
needs. Subscription prices are based on a tiered scale that corresponds to the full-time enrollment (FTE) of the subscribing
institution. You may download the Library Recommendation form from our website to recommend that your institution subscribe
to The Sport Collection.

Personal Subscriptions
As part of their conference registration, all conference participants have a one-year online subscription to The Sport Collection.
This complimentary personal subscription grants access to both the current volume of the collection as well as the entire
backlist. The period of complimentary access begins at the time of registration and ends one year after the close of the
conference. After that time, delegates may purchase a personal subscription. To view articles, go to http://ijr.cgpublisher.com/.
Select the “Login” option and provide a CGPublisher username and password. Then, select an article and download the PDF.
For lost or forgotten login details, select “forgot your login” to request a new password.

For more information, please visit:

http://sportandsociety.com/publications/journal/subscriptions-and-orders or contact us at
[email protected]

Hybrid Open Access

The Sport Collection is Hybrid Open Access. Hybrid Open Access is an option increasingly offered by both university presses
and well-known commercial publishers.

Hybrid Open Access means that some articles are available only to subscribers, while others are made available at no charge to
anyone searching the web. Authors pay an additional fee for the open access option. They may do this because open access is
a requirement of their research funding agency. Or they may do it so that non-subscribers can access their article for free.

Common Ground’s open access charge is $250 per article, a very reasonable price compared to our hybrid open access
competitors and purely open access journals that are resourced with an author publication fee. Electronic papers are normally
only available through individual or institutional subscriptions or for purchase at $5 per article. However, if you choose to make
your article Open Access, this means that anyone on the web may download it for free.

There are still considerable benefits for paying subscribers, because they can access all articles in the journal, from both current
and past volumes, without any restrictions. But making your paper available at no charge increases its visibility, accessibility,
potential readership, and citation counts. Open access articles also generate higher citation counts.

For more information or to make your article Open Access, please contact us at [email protected].

Institutional Open Access

Common Ground is proud to announce an exciting new model of scholarly publishing called Institutional Open Access.

Institutional Open Access allows faculty and graduate students to submit articles to Common Ground journals for unrestricted
open access publication. These articles will be freely and publicly available to the whole world through our hybrid open access
infrastructure. With Institutional Open Access, instead of the author paying a per-article open access fee, institutions pay a set
annual fee that entitles their students and faculty to publish a given number of open access articles each year.

The rights to the articles remain with the subscribing institution. Both the author and the institution can also share the final
typeset version of the article in any place they wish, including institutional repositories, personal websites, and privately or
publicly accessible course materials. We support the highest Sherpa/Romeo access level—Green.

For more information on Institutional Open access or to put us in touch with your department head or funding body, please
contact us at [email protected].

Fighting: Intellectualising Combat Sport

Keith Gilbert (ed.)

This book is the first of its kind that relates specifically to the
practical and theoretical aspects of martial arts in contemporary
society. Within its covers are a collection of thirty-five cutting-
edge chapters by leading practitioners and academics who
raise questions and provide answers regarding the broad
relationship between fighting and the intellectualisation of the
sports that constitute the martial arts.

Understanding Racial Portrayals in the Sports Media: Why is

Michael Vick So Fast and Peyton Manning So Smart

Daniel Coogan

While evidence of a decline in stereotyping emerges, Coogan

identifies that factors, such as the sport, the level of competition,
and characteristics of the commentator, affect the likelihood of
stereotyping. Understanding Racial Portrayals in the Sports
Media presents important reading for anyone interested in the
complex relationship between race and the mass media.

The Tour de France: 1903-1998: A Window on Twentieth-

century French Cultural History

Keiran J. Dunne

This book proposes a cultural history of the Tour de France in

five chapters corresponding to five periods: the Period of
Invention (1903–29); the Rejuvenation of the Tour (1930–39); the
“Golden Age” of the Tour (1947–61); Television and “Stagflation”
(1962–82); and France in the European Union and the Global
Village (1983–98).

Christopher Morriss-Roberts

This book considers the relationship that men have with their
bodies in homosocial sporting environments and as such
acknowledgement is given to the bonds that men make in defining
their masculinity; this includes the role of the body and the
environment in which this body exists. This book provides chapters
which cover specialist areas such as: the origins of masculinity and
sport, queer theory, sexuality and masculinity, metrosexulaity, sport
and queer theory and finally provides a theory of masculinity in the
context of queered sport.

THE SPORT AND SOCIETY CONFERENCE

Conference Principles and Features
The structure of the conference is based on four core principles that pervade all aspects of the knowledge community:

International
This conference travels around the world to provide opportunities for delegates to see and experience different countries and
locations. But more importantly, the Sport and Society conference offers a tangible and meaningful opportunity to engage with
scholars from a diversity of cultures and perspectives. This year, delegates from over 25 countries are in attendance, offering a
unique and unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with colleagues from all corners of the globe.

Interdisciplinary
Unlike association conferences attended by delegates with similar backgrounds and specialties, this conference brings together
researchers, practitioners, and scholars from a wide range of disciplines who have a shared interest in the themes and concerns
of this community. As a result, topics are broached from a variety of perspectives, interdisciplinary methods are applauded, and
mutual respect and collaboration are encouraged.

Inclusive
Anyone whose scholarly work is sound and relevant is welcome to participate in this community and conference, regardless of
discipline, culture, institution, or career path. Whether an emeritus professor, graduate student, researcher, teacher,
policymaker, practitioner, or administrator, your work and your voice can contribute to the collective body of knowledge that is
created and shared by this community.

Interactive
To take full advantage of the rich diversity of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives represented at the conference, there must
be ample opportunities to speak, listen, engage, and interact. A variety of session formats, from more to less structured, are
offered throughout the conference to provide these opportunities.

Session Descriptions
Plenary Sessions
Plenary speakers, chosen from among the world’s leading thinkers, offer formal presentations on topics of broad interest to the
community and conference delegation. One or more speakers are scheduled into a plenary session, most often the first session
of the day. As a general rule, there are no questions or discussion during these sessions. Instead, plenary speakers answer
questions and participate in informal, extended discussions during their Garden Sessions.

Garden Sessions
Garden Sessions are informal, unstructured sessions that allow delegates a chance to meet plenary speakers and talk with them
at length about the issues arising from their presentation. When the venue and weather allow, we try to arrange for a circle of
chairs to be placed outdoors.

Talking Circles
Held on the first day of the conference, Talking Circles offer an early opportunity to meet other delegates with similar interests
and concerns. Delegates self-select into groups based on broad thematic areas and then engage in extended discussion about
the issues and concerns they feel are of utmost importance to that segment of the community. Questions like “Who are we?”,
”What is our common ground?”, “What are the current challenges facing society in this area?”, “What challenges do we face in
constructing knowledge and effecting meaningful change in this area?” may guide the conversation. When possible, a second
Talking Circle is held on the final day of the conference, for the original group to reconvene and discuss changes in their
perspectives and understandings as a result of the conference experience. Reports from the Talking Circles provide a framework
for the delegates’ final discussions during the Closing Session.
 17

Paper Presentations
Paper presentations are grouped by general themes or topics into sessions comprised of three or four presentations followed by
group discussion. Each presenter in the session makes a formal twenty-minute presentation of their work; Q&A and group
discussion follow after all have presented. Session Chairs introduce the speakers, keep time on the presentations, and facilitate
the discussion. Each presenter's formal, written paper will be available to participants if accepted to the journal.

Colloquium
Colloquium sessions are organized by a group of colleagues who wish to present various dimensions of a project or
perspectives on an issue. Four or five short formal presentations are followed by commentary and/or group discussion. A single
article or multiple articles may be submitted to the journal based on the content of a colloquium session.

Workshop/Interactive Session
Workshop sessions involve extensive interaction between presenters and participants around an idea or hands-on experience of
a practice. These sessions may also take the form of a crafted panel, staged conversation, dialogue or debate – all involving
substantial interaction with the audience. A single article (jointly authored, if appropriate) may be submitted to the journal based
on a workshop session.

Poster Sessions
Poster sessions present preliminary results of works in progress or projects that lend themselves to visual displays and
representations. These sessions allow for engagement in informal discussions about the work with interested delegates
throughout the session.

Virtual Presentations
If unable to attend the conference in person, an author may choose to submit a virtual presentation. Opportunities and formats
vary but may be a presentation through our YouTube channel or an online discussion with interested delegates at the
conference. Abstracts of these presentations are included in the online “session descriptions,” and an article may be submitted
to the journal for peer review and possible publication, according to the same standards and criteria as all other journal
submissions.

A Digital Learning Platform

Use Scholar to Support Your Teaching

Scholar is a social knowledge platform that transforms the patterns of interaction in learning by putting students first, positioning
them as knowledge producers instead of passive knowledge consumers. Scholar provides scaffolding to encourage making and
sharing knowledge drawing from multiple sources rather than memorizing knowledge that has been presented to them.

Scholar also answers one of the most fundamental questions students and instructors have of their performance, "How am I
doing?" Typical modes of assessment often answer this question either too late to matter or in a way that is not clear or
comprehensive enough to meaningfully contribute to better performance.

A collaborative research and development project between Common Ground and the College of Education at the University of
Illinois, Scholar contains a knowledge community space, a multimedia web writing space, a formative assessment environment
that facilitates peer review, and a dashboard with aggregated machine and human formative and summative writing assessment
data.

The following Scholar features are only available to Common Ground Knowledge Community members as part of their
membership. Please email us at [email protected] if you would like the complimentary educator account that comes with
participation in a Common Ground conference.

• Create projects for groups of students, involving draft, peer review, revision and publication.
• Publish student works to each student’s personal portfolio space, accessible through the web for class discussion.
• Create and distribute surveys.
• Evaluate student work using a variety of measures in the assessment dashboard.

Scholar is a generation beyond learning management systems. It is what we term a Digital Learning Platform—it transforms
learning by engaging students in powerfully horizontal ‘social knowledge’ relationships.
