Sporting Cultures: Hispanic and European
Perspectives
10-12 January 2002, Halifax Hall, University of Sheffield
An International Interdisciplinary Conference organized by the
Department of
Hispanic Studies, University of Sheffield, with the collaboration of
the
School of Sport and Leisure Management, Sheffield Hallam University
We invite colleagues from the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences to
submit proposals for papers focusing on issues dealing with sporting
culture /
sport in culture in a variety of twentieth and twenty-first century
contexts. The aim of this Conference is to contribute to raising the
profile of sport as a subject for academic study and research within
the Arts and Humanities especially, and to act as a forum for
discussion of unexpected and productive interactions.
Areas and themes that are likely to be of interest include: sport and
literature, traditional and new media, nationalisms, gender,
ethnicity, sexuality, eroticism, theories of the body, religion and
philosophy, colonialism, music, youth and ageing, sociological and
psychological perspectives, humour, visual arts, resistance, limits
and taboos.
We particularly wish to achieve a balance between theoretical
approaches and practical applications. To this end we intend that a
plenary and at least
one session will examine the place of sport and leisure culture in
Sheffield
itself, acknowledging the city's experiences as a national and
international sporting centre.
It is hoped to publish an edited collection of Conference papers.
Those wishing to present papers (20 minutes' duration) should submit a
title
and a proposal of 300 words, indicating technical requirements as
appropriate, to the Organizers at the e-mail addresses below, to
arrive no
later than 15 July 2001. Proposals may also be sent by post or
fax. Please
note that the language of the Conference is English, and proposals
should
also be in English.
Organizers: Dr Louise Johnson & Dr David Wood, Department of
Hispanic Studies, University of Sheffield, SHEFFIELD, S10 2TN, e-mail:
p.l.johnson@shef.ac.uk,
fax: (0)114 222 0561
Conference cost is expected to be around £150 inclusive of conference
fee,
accommodation, meals and evening conference dinner. Note that speakers
are expected to seek funding from their own institutions to cover the
cost of
attendance. Preferential rates may be available for unwaged
participants and
postgraduate students.

| Material
per aprende català a Internet |
|
Des
del dia 15 de març de 2001 ja podeu aprendre català a la xarxa amb
el nou curs Intercat. Tal i
com s'explica en el següent paràgraf introductori, es tracta d'un
recull de lliçons bàsiques de català, especialment adreçades a
estudiantes estrangers que fan intercanvis acadèmics a universitats
de parla catalana. Les lliçons tenen seccions d'àudio, exercicis
comunicatius i exercicis gramaticals.
Through the use of new
technologies, a number of Catalan-learning resources have been
grouped together in a single space, under the name of Intercat:
Speakc@t, University Conversation Guide and Sisplau.
The site also contains information on the situation of the language
in Catalonia and the cultural hosting and language exchange
programmes offered by Catalan universities.
Intercat is a project being carried out by the linguistics services
of nine Catalan universities and the Directorate-General of
Universities, co-financed by the European Union and the Department
of Universities, Research and the Information Society and Catalan
public universities.
