SPS 322 Football, Nationality and the State |
3 Credits |
Irrespective of gender, race, ethnicity or religion
football occupies a central place in the
daily lives of many people in the world. Viewed
from this perspective football is not only a
sport but it is also a social phenomenon. Football is
deeply embedded in and relates to
concepts like patriotism, nations, nationality, nationalism
and the state. This course primarily aims
to study football as a social phenomenon and to
explore its political, social and cultural implications
on a global scale. Football, as a
political instrument whether employed for
repression of the masses or as a way of
expressing different identities is an exceptional
game that carries the potential to help
us to understand the complexities of modern
society and politics.
