Description
BOOK IN FRENCH
GRAND FORMAT
Authors: Jean Cléder, Gaëlle Debeaux
Whether you're a player or a spectator, sports occupy an important place in our lives - without having conquered any real cultural dignity in societies where physical and intellectual activities are carefully distinguished as high and low. Yet sport is being written and told, recorded and filmed, staged and edited, in increasingly inventive and diverse formats and media.
Tracing the public encounters organized in Rennes in spring 2017, this book sets out to question the representations of the body provoked by sports. Through a collection of texts, interviews and documents, sportsmen and women, journalists, researchers and writers meet to try to pinpoint what is at stake today in representations of the body.
