Sport in the Modern World — Chances and Problems
Should scientific congresses take place in connection with Olympic Games, and should science be represented not only in the form of applied science engaged in the care of athletes, but also as an informing, reflecting and critical authority? The Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXth Olympiad answered this question in the affirmative, and the results have justified this decision. The invitation sent out by the Organizing Committee was accepted by numerous eminent scholars and many participants from all over the world; it was their merit that the general topic of the congress could be discussed in manifold ways under various aspects and without prejudice. For this reason, they deserve...

The Scientific View of Sport
progress and happiness - however these terms may be understood in detail - as a significant and constitutive element of scientific inquiry. In this sense the question of the way in which sport really benefits people and contributes to their happiness, and under which individual and social conditions, is a scientific question. It assumes special significance when the fact is taken into account that in the field of sport science a general scepticism is shown towards those dogmas and pedagogical theses which take such an interpretation for granted in the absence of a firm empirical foundation and a critically evolved theory.

Schwuler* Fußball
Durch Sprache diskriminiert und lange Zeit tabuisiert: schwule Fußballer. 2015 haben sie mit dem Coming-out des ehemaligen deutschen Nationalspielers Thomas Hitzlsperger eines ihrer ersten und prominentesten Gesichter erhalten. Jenseits von Scheinwerferlicht und Einzelfällen nimmt diese ethnografische Studie erstmalig den Alltag von schwulen* Fußballteams im Freizeit- und Amateurbereich in den Fokus. Die teilnehmende Beobachtung als Spieler-Trainer führte Stefan Heissenberger auf die Vorder- und Hinterbühnen dieses Unterfeldes des heteronormativen Fußballs. Die Ergebnisse zu Vereinspolitik, Geselligkeit, schwulen* Turnieren und Männlichkeiten sowie deren Einbettung in »den« Fußball setzen neue Impulse für die sozialwissenschaftliche und gesellschaftspolitische Auseinandersetzung mit der weltweit bedeutsamsten Sportart.
