SoCuM Project: Discursive Crossings: Subversion and Affirmation of Power Relations
(Within the framework of AG 4)

This project is devoted to the processes of ‘Crossings’ within the scope of power and knowledge-based conversations and conventions. Following our international workshop on ‘Discursive Crossings: Subversion and Affirmation of Power Relations’ in October 2012, we are now developing terminological, theoretical and empirical approaches to the processes of semantic choices between encoding, appropriation, legitimacy and legitimization as well as territorialization. To this end, the center is building up both an international research network and corresponding publications.

Research Interests
Doping and Drug Abuse in Sport and Society, Sociology of the Body (Concept of Self, Disability, Health), Youth Sport (particularly Social Inequality), Discourse and Media Research in Sport
