Women and Sport Conference Women and Sport in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Instituto de História Contemporânea – FCSH, UNL 20 and 21 June, 2013

Call for papers


Women’s access to sports and physical education is a story made by advances and retreats, punctuated by discrimination, mentalities’ shifts and social achievements. In fact, by the end of 1800, women’s participation in sporting events was only looked upon as entertainment, giving particular attention to body and facial postures, and to feminine beauty, setting physical strength, agility and skill of the athletes as second level of importance. The Summer Olympics are a clear illustration of this historical path.


Women start participating in sports’ competitions in 1770 at the British Games, however it was only at the Olympic Games held in 2012, in London, that they were represented in all disciplines of the Olympic program.


The “Women and Sport in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries” conference seeks to analyze, in a critical and integrated way, the history of this journey, watching its multiple dimensions and approaches: social, economic, political, cultural, legal, ethical, organizational, media, medical and gender. This meeting aims to provide a space of discussion, seeking to stimulate and further develop studies in the History of Sports, particularly in the field of History of Women’s Sports.

The meeting will accommodate presentations given by invited speakers and paper givers submitted through ‘call for papers’. All researchers are invited to participate, submitting proposals on the following themes:

· Origin and evolution of sport’s practices;

· Sports and physical education as instruments of social and cultural emancipation of women;

· The role of the state;

· Discourses, ideologies and policies, or its absence, which outline women’s sport;

· the role of clubs, associations and sports’ practice in a school environment;

· Ways to construct women’s sport memories

Submission of proposals: until April 26

Submission results will be known by: May 13

Final Program disclosure: June 10

Please send the Form (in ‘word’ format only) containing the title of the paper, the abstract (maximum 500 words) and a brief CV (maximum 150 words) until April 26, 2013 to the following address: desportofeminino.ihc@gmail.com

CFP: 20.4.2012, Sport and other Leisure Industries Special Edition of Sport in History

Call for Papers: Sport and other Leisure Industries Special Edition of Sport in History

We are seeking articles for a special edition of the journal Sport in History that examines the relationship between sport and other leisure and/or cultural industries.

Although sport’s distinctiveness as a form of leisure, due to its emphases on physicality and competitiveness, is undeniable, the study of sports history has become somewhat ghettoised from other aspects of leisure history. Moreover, while the cultural turn in sports history has encouraged a new emphasis on texts and their representation of sport, less attention has been devoted to the wider commercial configurations that have promoted sport’s appropriation by, and of, other leisure and cultural forms. This special edition will therefore seek to partially redress this gap by showcasing research that examines sport’s place within the broader entertainment business. Our aim is to encourage a dialogue between sports historians and social and cultural historians working in other areas and disciplines.

As such, we are particularly keen to receive articles on the history of sport’s relationship with culture and leisure industries, especially where these links have been hitherto relatively unexplored.
For example, how has sport as a business compared to or interacted with publishing, the fairground, theatre, cinema, shopping for pleasure, music, etc? We welcome papers covering a diverse range of historical periods, including the recent past (providing they offer a suitably historical perspective), and geographical contexts, both British and non-British.

The issues that suitable articles could cover include (but are not limited to):

How have entrepreneurs and show-people utilised and sought to capitalise on sport?
How have sportspeople, clubs and governing bodies utilised and sought to capitalise on the culture industry?
Has sport’s relationship with other culture and leisure industries transformed the nature of either or both?

The relationship between labour issues in sport and other culture and leisure industries.

The nature of competition and co-operation between sport and other leisure industries

Comparative studies between sports and other leisure industries.

Relationships between sport and other culture and leisure industries at a local level.

Relationships between sport and other leisure industries at a transnational level.

If you are interested in contributing to this special edition, please send an abstract for your paper (c. 300 words), and a brief biography, to diongeorgiou(AT)hotmail.co.uk
by Friday 20th April. We will then select the most suitable abstracts and ask their contributors to write up articles for the journal, to be sent into us by Summer 2013, with the special edition due to be published in 2014.

Guest Editors,

Dion Georgiou and Ben Litherland
