Theoretical Conceptions in Sport Social Sciences
Theoretical Conceptions in Sport Social Sciences In the presented study we assume, after Piotr Sztompka that a sociological theory is every set of ontological, epistemological and methodological assumptions, abstract notions and general propositions concerning social reality which is to provide with explanation of existing descriptive knowledge about it and orient future research (Sztompka 1985, p. 12). In the discussed theory there have develope…
Sport in a changing Europe
The paper confronts the basic problems of modern sport and the main socio-political changes observed in the contemporary world. Special attention is given to Olympism and its influence on sport as an international institution that has cultural, educational, social and political character. From this perspective, the following issues are analysed: the meaning of the Olympic Games for European culture; sport as an axionormative model of democratic o…
Sport as Symbol
This paper is an attempt to analyse sport in semiological categories, i.e. of sign and symbol. The author accepts the significative layer of sport is nearest to the nature of a myth. Contemporary sport expresses the industrial society's desire to compete, to reach for perfection, individual fame and riches. It also satisfies the hope for rapid horizontal and vertical mobility, for women to surmount biological and culture barriers and for the abol…
Sport in the Era of Structural Changes: The Example of Eastern Europe
Radical social changes in sport in Eastern Europe are a result of a break-up of the social and economic system, defined as real socialism. However, there are also autonomical origins for such changes, particularly economic incapacity, conceptional and ideological inadequacy, organizational and institutional disfunctionality, as well as inefficiency of the sport's managing elite. An attempt of an analysis and interpretation of these four problem a…
Sociology of Sport in Poland
Theoretical reflections on physical education, competitive sport and recreation in Poland began in the late 19th century, developing as an integral part of the social science of sport, dealing with complex problems of the genesis, structure and functions of physical culture in the face of national and structural transformation. But the social elements of sport did not achieve full autonomy until the 1960s, when sociological and historical studies…
Physical Culture from the Perspective of Values - A General and Selective Approach to Physical Culture
In the introductory section of this article the author draws up a typology of definitions of physical culture prevalent in social sciences, above all in sociology. This is followed by an attempt to explain this category from an axiological point of view. Three basic spheres are differentiated: values of existence, social values and symbolic values. However, this approach to physical culture only refers to its objective dimension, whereas an inter…

Physical Culture in Social Consciousness
A Polish (N = 1000) - Hungarian (N = 259) comparative investigation using empirical data analyzes the popular concepts and estimation of physical culture. In the population examined, consisting of secondary school students and their parents, the popular and theoretical definitions are rather different. Four main concepts of physical culture were differentiated. For the theoretical framework of this research, the Marxist concept of F. Takacs was u…
Sport as the Subject of Sociological Studies
Having recognized the existing syntheses of the world sociology of sport and the appropriate background for the evaluation of Polish achievements in this science, the author points to its rapid and multivariant development and its unquestionable achievements and weaknesses. Actually, the achievements of this science in Poland can be reduced to six aspects of description, elucidation and practical functions: sociotechnique, so ciology of education…
The Social Role of Sports Events in Poland and Hungary
In the last years both in Hungary and in Poland the attendance of sports events has decreased among adolescents and adults. In their study the authors examine the reasons of this phenomenon. Based on their cross-culture survey they analyse the following problems: — Do the various social groups of the two nations (pupils of secondary school and their parents) attach social value to the sport-consuming? — Why do some pupils and adults consider spor…
Sport and Culture
Researchers looking for the ties between sport and culture as a rule found them within the range of problems related to play. However, this perspective of explaining sport is today not the only existing possibility. There is a great vaniety of theoretical attitudes in this respect and these could be reduced to the following types of interpretations: existential-axiological, psycho-analytical, anthro pological and cultural, semiotic, structural-fu…
Physical Culture — Past and Present
This article deals with the problem of the influence exerted by tradition on the aspect of physical culture being created at present and the significance of the con temporary value system for the reconstruction of the history of man's motor activity. Depending on the methodological approach to history researchers of physical culture in each new epoch embark on a controversy regarding the shape of tradition in the sphere that interest them. This s…
Theory and Empiricism in the Social Sciences Regarding Physical Culture
Present-day methodological controversies in the Humanities arouse a very weak echo in the sphere or social research and physical culture. That is why this study deals with certain contemporary theoretical and methodological conceptions in the social sciences in order to look there for models to be followed in research. From the above-mentioned experience the conclusion was drawn that it is necessary for further progress in social studies on physi…
