(In Spanish) Sports And Society In Spain
This course will examine various aspects of the relationship between sport and society in Spain, with a particular emphasis on soccer and bullfighting. We will examine both the impact of sport on Spanish society and the influence of society on the practice of sport in Spain. The course begins with a consideration of general theoretical questions in the study of sport before moving on to an account of the historical development of sports in general and in Spain in particular. The impact of social institutions on sports is examined in sections on the economy and the media. The first half of the course ends with a consideration of the ways in which sport can be used by governments as a political tool. Following the midterm, we examine the reciprocal influences of sport on violence, gender, race and ethnic and national identities in Spain.
Attendance is mandatory for all IES classes, including field studies. Any exams, tests, presentations, or other work missed due to student absences can only be rescheduled in cases of documented medical or family emergencies. If a student misses more than three classes in any course half a letter grade will be deducted from the final grade for every additional absence. Seven absences in any course will result in a failing grade.
By the end of the course students are able:
• To recognise and be able to undertake realistic and accurate comparisons between the role of sport in
Spanish society and other societies;
• To critically analyse the historical development of sports in general, and Spanish sports in particular, from a sociological perspective;
• To apply diverse social theories when analysing sports as social phenomena;
• To assess the interrelated social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of contemporary sports;
• To discuss and investigate controversial and conflictive issues in sports.
Lectures, field studies, class debates, group problem solving and analysis of audio-visual materials.
