The International Conference on Media and Sports promoted by the Research Center for Communication and Culture aims both at a polyphonic discussion of sports representations in the media and at a reflection upon sports language worldwide.
Drawing on recent analyses of sports language from semiotic, linguistic and sociological angles, the event wishes to provide insights into the core issues of Sports Media and Power, Sports Media and Fiction and Sports and Globalisation.
Keynote Speakers (to be confirmed)
Joachim Born (University of Giessen)
Richard Giulianotti (University of Durham)
