KNES 381 Sport, Games and Culture
This course is designed to enable the student to recognize and critique sport as a social, cultural, anthropological and historical phenomenon; to consider sport as a social institution and to analyze the various roles and implications of play, games and sport in the contemporary world. We will use a cultural perspective to explore meaning in sport and its reflections of society. Additionally, the course will focus on the identification of socioeconomic and cultural issues in sport situations, analyzing the (personal, political and collective) actions and decisions as to value orientations and cultural ideology- formation. The student will be encouraged to identify and formulate an introspective, knowledgeable and ethical base for one’s own functioning in a sport-oriented career.
