Routledge Handbook of the Global South in Sport for Development and Peace

Arranged into geographical sections covering Africa, Asia, South America, North America and Oceania, the book presents original research in Global South countries or by Global South researchers and practitioners, sometimes in collaboration with colleagues from the Global North. It highlights practices and theories created, developed, interprete...
Football Fandom in Europe and Latin America
This book combines pieces of work on Europe and Latin America, the two continents where football arouses the most ardent passions among its spectators. Curiously, an undertaking to compare on a large scale the forms extreme fandom takes in these two geographical areas is still lacking. A situational analysis of the scientific literature devoted to the subject over the last two or three decades represents a step in this direction, making a scattered store of knowledge accessible. It thus answers a need to clarify regional differences in identities and in the practices of supporters.
Football and National Identity in Twentieth-Century Argentina
This book examines how since its arrival in 1867 with British immigrants, football has become the key cultural signifier of national identity in Argentina over the long twentieth century. With the international exploits of players such as Luis Monti, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Diego Maradona, the sport has projected Argentina onto the global consciousness not seen in any other way. In this book, Mark Orton challenges existing myths surrounding the nativisation of football in Argentina away from British influence, as he shows how the game provided a conduit for the assimilation of millions of European immigrants in the early decades of the century into a new Argentine ‘race’. The book also examines how football gave some of the ‘voiceless others’ such as women, Afro-Argentines, indigenous people and those in the interior an arena to project themselves in an Argentine society that was masculine, white and Buenos Aires-dominated.
Football and Nation Building in Colombia (2010-2018)
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library as part of the Opening the Future project with COPIM. This book explores the pivotal role that football played as part of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos’ national unity project centred on the peace process with the FARC. Football has huge political and social capital in Latin America, and has often been rhetorically deployed by governments for various ends; rarely, however, has football’s power and potential been used in such a deliberate, strategic and active way towards a national peace process and targeted such enduring divisions that have historically impeded a sen...
Cartografía de los estudios sociales sobre el deporte
En las últimas décadas, la investigación en torno a los deportes desde las ciencias sociales y humanas fue creciendo y adquiriendo cada vez mayor legitimidad académica. En este proceso quedó de manifiesto que el fenómeno deportivo posibilita observaciones y reflexiones de gran agudeza sobre la sociedad en que vivimos, desde una perspectiva global y local. Este libro procura presentar un cuadro de situación amplio de los estudios sociales sobre deportes, con atención en los enfoques teórico-metodológicos y las propias prácticas deportivas –junto con sus instituciones y referentes–, y en las agendas académicas en distintos países y regiones, como la Argentina, Brasil y Améric...
Ganar sin ganar
Este libro recoge artículos publicados desde los años noventa que dan cuenta de dos de las grandes pasiones de su autor: el fútbol y la ciencia política, en un ejercicio desafiante para indagar en la realidad política y futbolera de Colombia, de la selección de fútbol de Colombia y aquellos factores que forjan de diversas maneras la identidad nacional. Este libro se suma así a varias publicaciones sobre el tema que han llevado al autor a una profunda convicción: no hay fenómeno más político que el fútbol y no hay, hoy, mayor sello de identidad de lo que somos que aquello que convoca la Selección. La hipótesis del autor señala que, de manera simbólica y significativa, los col...

La educación intercultural bilingüe en Ecuador: historia, discursos y prácticas cotidianas
En 1988 se institucionalizaba en Ecuador el primer modelo educativo bilingüe en Latinoamérica manejado de manera autónoma por un movimiento social indígena. La voluntad era desafiar a las jerarquías del saber y a una sociedad excluyente. Desde el periodo colonial, se había confinado a la población indígena, sus idiomas, conocimientos y prácticas a una condición subalterna y de invisibilidad. Se lo había hecho mediante discursos y medidas que imaginaron y fabricaron ‘el otro en cuanto otro’, y lo redujeron al espacio del no humano, para legitimar la explotación y la opresión. El movimiento indígena, creador del proyecto, irrumpió en la historia con el levantamiento de 1990...

Seeing Like a State
“One of the most profound and illuminating studies of this century to have been published in recent decades.”—John Gray, New York Times Book Review Hailed as “a magisterial critique of top-down social planning” by the New York Times, this essential work analyzes disasters from Russia to Tanzania to uncover why states so often fail—sometimes catastrophically—in grand efforts to engineer their society or their environment, and uncovers the conditions common to all such planning disasters. “Beautifully written, this book calls into sharp relief the nature of the world we now inhabit.”—New Yorker “A tour de force.”— Charles Tilly, Columbia University
