Du rituel au record
Appuyé sur la sociologie historique de Max Weber, Du rituel au record vise la construction d'un paradigme susceptible d'expliquer l'unité du sport moderne au regard des pratiques sportives de l'Antiquité, du Moyen Age et du début de la modernité. Il entreprend aussi d'identifier quels sont les traits les plus marquants de l'expérience sportive américaine. L'analyse développe et illustre une définition du sport moderne, tout en instaurant un dialogue fécond entre histoire, sociologie, anthropologie et littérature.
