Olympism, Olympic Education and Learning Legacies
This book is largely a collection of the papers presented at the symposium Olympism, Olympic Education and Learning Legacies, organised by the Comité Internationale Pierre de Coubertin (CIPC). It was held during the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games at Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent, United Kingdom. The symposium drew together presenters and audience members from twenty-five nations on four continents to discuss current and future challenges of education and the Olympic Movement. While most books on the Olympics focus on economic issues or on aspects related to the management of the Games (such as legacies and impacts), this book remains faithful to Coubertin’s origina...

Mega Events, Urban Transformations and Social Citizenship
This book provides theoretical and empirical perspectives on the urban impact of mega-events globally. It takes mega-events as an instance to analyse urban transformations and their effects on citizenship. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, the book presents innovative and multidimensional analyses of mega-events with an international selection of case studies. The work provides a grounded theorisation of mega-events in the first part and scrutinizes its practices and processes in the second. Each chapter explores mega-events as crucial drivers and accelerators of urban and citizenship transformations. Rather than just focusing on a staged momentum, this book takes stock of the ‘before’ and ‘after’ that these events imply for the urban condition. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in urban studies, human geography, economics, architecture, planning, sociology, political science. It will also appeal to professionals and policy makers engaged in the planning, hosting and management of mega-events.

Globalne przez narodowe. Euro 2012 w Polsce
Książka przedstawia proces aplikacji i przygotowań do wielkiej imprezy sportowej – Euro 2012 – z perspektywy instytucji polskiego państwa. Maurice Roche, autor kanonicznej już pozycji na temat wielkich imprez Mega-events and modernity (Roche 2000: 5), zauważył, że każda impreza jest swoista i „na temat każdej trzeba stworzyć odrębną opowieść. Być może właśnie dlatego dążące do generalizacji nauki społeczne były skłonne zakładać, że przynależą do dziedziny historii i niewiele da się o nich powiedzieć na poziomie ogólnym”. W tej pracy spróbuję nakreślić taką „odrębną opowieść” na temat Euro 2012 w Polsce. Jednocześnie jednak spróbuję usy...
The News Production Process in the Brazilian Journalistic Coverage of the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games
The Paralympic Games are the biggest showcase of disability. Thanks to their growing popularity, they are gradually getting a space in television and social networks and are conquering a space in the print and digital press. Therefore, it is important to guarantee the quality of the coverage of the event and of the messages that are sent about people with disabilities. It is also important to understand what factors interfere with this coverage and these messages. In this context, we developed a study that had as a goal to understand the process of news production about the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games Brazilian journalists.
