The year 2021 has been very significant for sport.
Athletes, both amateur and professionals, have started to train and compete again after a long and imposed pause.
There were also occasions for those who watch sports: the Football European Tournament, the Olympic Games, and the Paralympic Games; the performances of Italian tennis players in the most important international competitions have thrilled many viewers.
Bruno Barba shifts his insight from anthropology to sport in this essay. Sport seems to have finally gained its role as a privileged “total social fact” that can help read general cultural dynamics.
A qualified panel will discuss this unexpected and full of perspectives analysis.
