The course offers a complete and reasoned review of the most important and influential concepts, themes and theories of sociological reflection. Specific attention is given to the definition of reasons and perspectives for the analysis of society that can find a place of application and verification in sporting phenomena. Among the topics of the course: society and community, group and association, social change, social action, etc.
The course therefore has two objectives: knowledge of sociological thought and the formulation of hypotheses for reading “sport as a metaphor for society”.
