Book excerpt: L'ouvrage La Psychologie du sport et performance en Afrique aborde une question cruciale: gagner ou perdre dépend-il des capacités d'un marabout ? Cette question est particulièrement délicate car elle plonge dans l'intégration de la psychologie du sport, une discipline scientifique, dans un environnement sportif africain déjà ancré dans des pratiques mystiques. De nombreux athlètes perçoivent comme réel l'impact de ces pratiques sur la performance, ce qui complique l'introduction de la psychologie du sport. Cependant, certaines organisations sportives voient les pratiques mystiques de manière négative, en contradiction avec leurs valeurs de fair-play et de neutralité à l'égard des convictions personnelles des joueurs. Malgré ce défi, il existe une perspective optimiste. Le livre s'adresse aux étudiants en sciences du sport et offre une ressource complète couvrant les concepts clés, les théories et les applications pratiques en psychologie du sport. Il va au-delà de l'utilisation conventionnelle en classe, servant de texte de base pour les ressources en ligne, le contenu multimédia ou les exercices interactifs, améliorant ainsi l'expérience d'apprentissage globale. La Psychologie du sport et performance en Afrique explore les aspects cachés du sport, explorant ses liens avec la violence, les médias, le racisme, le dopage, les études et la religion. Cette approche reflète une stratégie pédagogique cohérente. Le livre adopte une position critique sur la psychologie du sport dans le contexte africain plus large. Il analyse la légitimation des pratiques psychosociologiques et magico-religieuses dans le sport moderne aux dépens de la psychologie du sport. Cette dernière, relativement nouvelle en Afrique, se heurte à des obstacles tels qu'une acceptation limitée de la part des athlètes et des organisations sportives. Les athlètes africains peuvent donner la priorité aux aspects physiques plutôt qu'aux aspects mentaux de l'entraînement en raison d'un manque de sensibilisation ou d'éducation concernant les bienfaits de la psychologie du sport. De plus, les ressources financières et humaines limitées entravent le développement de la discipline en Afrique. Alors que les organisations sportives africaines considèrent les pratiques mystiques comme efficaces pour influencer la performance, certaines les perçoivent négativement, en contradiction avec les valeurs professionnelles de fair-play et de neutralité. Le deuxième objectif du livre est de dévoiler les contradictions et les intérêts cachés dans les discours sociétaux et organisationnels sur le sport. Il explore la double nature du sport, où certains mettent l'accent sur ses valeurs, tandis que d'autres le voient comme le reflet d'une société influencée par la politique, la religion, le racisme, les médias et la violence. En bref, le livre explore la relation complexe entre la psychologie du sport et les pratiques mystiques en Afrique, abordant les défis, fournissant des ressources pédagogiques et analysant de manière critique la dynamique sociétale et organisationnelle plus large du sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book "Sports Psychology and Performance in Africa" addresses a crucial question: does winning or losing depend on the abilities of a marabout? This question is particularly challenging as it delves into the integration of sports psychology, a scientific discipline, into an African sports environment already entrenched with mystical practices. Many athletes perceive the impact of these practices on performance as real, complicating the introduction of sports psychology. However, some sports organizations view mystical practices negatively, conflicting with their values of fair play and neutrality toward players' personal beliefs. Despite this challenge, there is an optimistic perspective. The book caters to sports science students, offering a comprehensive resource covering key concepts, theories, and practical applications in sports psychology. It goes beyond conventional classroom use, serving as a foundational text for online resources, multimedia content, or interactive exercises, enhancing the overall learning experience. "Sports Psychology and Performance in Africa" explores the hidden aspects of sports, exploring its connections with violence, media, racism, doping, studies, and religion. This approach reflects a coherent educational strategy. The book takes a critical stance on sports psychology within the broader African context. It analyzes the legitimization of psychosociological and magico-religious practices in modern sports at the expense of sports psychology. The latter, being relatively new in Africa, faces obstacles such as limited acceptance by athletes and sports organizations. African athletes may prioritize physical over mental aspects of training due to a lack of awareness or education regarding sports psychology's benefits. Additionally, limited financial and human resources hinder the discipline's development in Africa. While sports organizations in Africa consider mystical practices effective for influencing performance, some view them negatively, conflicting with professional values of fair play and neutrality. The book's second aim is to unveil contradictions and hidden interests in societal and organizational discourses on sports. It explores the dual nature of sports, where some emphasize its values, while others see it as a reflection of a society influenced by politics, religion, racism, media, and violence. In short, the book navigates the intricate relationship between sports psychology and mystical practices in Africa, addressing challenges, providing educational resources, and critically analyzing the broader societal and organizational dynamics of sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport et santé sont souvent présentés comme entretenant des relations positives : d’une part, l’activité physique participe au bien être individuel, d’autre part, la santé physique et mentale contribuent à la performance sportive. Si ces relations sont largement valorisées, les conséquences parfois délétères de l’activité sportive sur la santé restent encore de nos jours trop souvent méconnues : blessures, épuisement et autres troubles psychologiques font partie intégrante des signes fréquemment observés chez les sportifs intensifs. Au regard de ces nouvelles problématiques émergentes dans le champ de l’activité physique et sportive, la psychologie du sport, initialement centrée sur l’amélioration des performances sportives, et la psychologie de la santé, visant à comprendre les phénomènes d’adaptation psychologique à la maladie ou à une situation potentiellement stressante, trouvent là diverses opportunités de mettre en commun leurs concepts spécifiques et apports respectifs. À l’interface de ces deux disciplines, de nombreux travaux ont vu le jour ces dernières années, portant sur la promotion de la santé par le sport, ou encore sur le rôle de l’activité physique dans l’amélioration de la santé ou de la qualité de vie de sujets présentant diverses pathologies physiques ou ayant des comportements à risque. Psychologie du sport et de la santé propose une synthèse exhaustive et critique de la littérature récente portant d’une part, sur l’ensemble des champs de recherche et modélisations en psychologie permettant d’articuler les concepts de sport et de santé, et d’autre part, sur les diverses méthodes d’intervention (prévention, évaluation, détection, prise en charge) préconisées tant par les chercheurs universitaires que par les praticiens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De nombreux pays se sont organisés pour développer les connaissances et les pratiques de l'entraînement mental et de la performance. Au regard de l'essor actuel de ces pratiques, il semble qu'une réflexion sur le sujet du " mental en sport ", si souvent évoqué par les uns et les autres mais jamais abordé de manière approfondie, soit indispensable. Comment concevoir l'apport de la psychologie du sport dans et pour la haute performance ? L'analyse de l'accès à l'excellence en sport met en évidence que celle-ci dépend moins d'un potentiel initial d'aptitudes élevé, ou d'une personnalité exceptionnelle, que d'un entraînement rationnel et de longue durée. Dans la perspective du développement des ressources individuelles et collectives, les auteurs de cet ouvrage montrent que les sportifs doivent s'efforcer de réguler leurs émotions et le stress lié à la compétition, d'entretenir leur motivation, d'accroître leurs capacités d'imagerie mentale et leurs habiletés relationnelles, afin de répondre aux diverses exigences de la pratique compétitive. L'entraînement mental concerne donc la découverte et le développement des potentialités et compétences de chacun en envisageant l'acquisition de méthodes ou de techniques particulières, selon la nature des tâches et objectifs visés. Compte tenu des demandes spécifiques des différents sports, des stratégies d'intervention sont proposées aux athlètes et aux entraîneurs. Rédigés par des experts francophones, les textes de cet ouvrage proposent ainsi une approche originale qui concerne le conseil en entraînement mental, dans le cadre des pratiques sportives de haut niveau.

Since the 1970s, sound researchers have attempted to classify noise, music, and everyday sounds using concepts such as Pierre Shafer's sound object and R. Murray Schafer's soundscape. Recently, the most significant team of soundscape researchers in the world has been concerned with the effects of sounds on listeners.
Download or read book Intercultural Dialogue on Campus written by Sjur Bergan and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern societies are inconceivable as isolated and mono-cultural entities. The interaction of various cultures is not only a fact of life for most Europeans, it also enriches our societies. However, we also witness tensions between cultures. Intercultural dialogue is therefore one of the political priorities of the Council of Europe, as shown most prominently by the adoption of the White Paper "Living Together as Equals in Dignity" in May 2008. Higher education, by its history and contemporary practice, is a natural partner in and promoter of intercultural dialogue and understanding. Higher education institutions and campuses are themselves multicultural societies, and as such are the focus of the present volume. A second volume will examine the role of higher education in furthering intercultural dialogue and understanding in broader society.

Download or read book Boy Wives and Female Husbands written by Stephen O. Murray and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the many myths created about Africa, the claim that homosexuality and gender diversity are absent or incidental is one of the oldest and most enduring. Historians, anthropologists, and many contemporary Africans alike have denied or overlooked African same-sex patterns or claimed that such patterns were introduced by Europeans or Arabs. In fact, same-sex love and nonbinary genders were and are widespread in Africa. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands documents the presence of this diversity in some fifty societies in every region of the continent south of the Sahara. Essays by scholars from a variety of disciplines explore institutionalized marriages between women, same-sex relations between men and boys in colonial work settings, mixed gender roles in east and west Africa, and the emergence of LGBTQ activism in South Africa, which became the first nation in the world to constitutionally ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Also included are oral histories, folklore, and translations of early ethnographic reports by German and French observers. Boy-Wives and Female Husbands was the first serious study of same-sex sexuality and gender diversity in Africa, and this edition includes a new foreword by Marc Epprecht that underscores the significance of the book for a new generation of African scholars, as well as reflections on the book's genesis by the late Stephen O. Murray. This book is freely available in an open access edition thanks to the generous support of the Murray Hong Family Trust.
