Resumen

CAPRETTI, Silvia. The culture at play: sport in modern and post-modern society. Trab. soc. [online]. 2011, n.16, pp.231-250. ISSN 1514-6871.

Nowadays sport represents a phenomenon of singular importance and complexity. In the last years, the social sciences have been looking at sport as a metaphor for the entire society. The aim of this article is to find new analytical tools to better comprehend the diverse scenarios that sport is taking under itself both in the modern and postmodern society. The article shows the relation between sport and culture in order to understand how sport reflects a wide range of social processes and how, at the same time, it contributes to modify them. The central thesis is that sport, in all its aspects, starts a dynamic in which the macro and micro social dimensions co-penetrate each other in a full of meaning cultural practice. Its study allows us to understand important aspects of society.

Palabras clave : Sport; Culture; Modern society; Post-modern society.
