Sociological analysis of academic discussions on doping
This article explores the production of knowledge on doping and anti-doping through the lens of the sociology of science, focusing on themes such as epistemic communities and the cumulativity of knowledge. Using a corpus of 177 scientific papers authored by 211 researchers, we examine what sociology reveals—and overlooks doping and anti-doping, identifying existing knowledge gaps and areas for further exploration. Our inquiry refines key question…
La sociología pragmática y el modelo de la balística sociológica
La corriente pragmática que se describe en este artículo es la sociología de la controversia y del conflicto. El modelo que se expone es la balística sociológica, que se desarrolló con el objetivo de analizar las trayectorias de determinados problemas sociales, así como las de los actores que toman parte en los procesos de disputa y de los argumentos que movilizan. Además, se analiza cómo estos actores usan los principios morales y la fuerza de l…
Comparer les politiques antidopage: Enjeux d’un observatoire international du dopage et des politiques antidopage
Le dossier du dopage dans le sport interroge les façons de concevoir la recherche comparée. D'une part, parce que les pratiques sociales que les institutions s'efforcent de combattre se nourrissent à la fois de réseaux internationaux et de spécificités locales. D'autre part, car la politique d'harmonisation menée par l'Agence mondiale se construit sur des alignements à des standards internationaux. Enfin, les processus d'évaluation de ces politiq…
Forms and Modes of Apprehending Interdisciplinarity: A Socio-Computer Analysis of Sports Sciences
This article considers the interdisciplinary character of sports sciences, which holds a double challenge. On one hand, demonstrating how the analysis of a corpus of scientific texts contributes – without exhausting the magnitude of the scientific work – to a better knowledge of a field of interdisciplinary research: sports sciences. On the other hand, on a methodological level, tools and computer strategies have been developed in order to analyz…
Permanences et Transformations d'une institution: Une analyse sociologique de trois congrès de l'AFS
Permanence and Transformation of an Institution — A Sociological Analysis of Three AFS Congresses: This analysis of summaries of presentations at the first three congresses of the Association Française de Sociologie (AFS) shows the stability of the 40 thematic sections founded in 2004, but a high turnover among presenters, 78% of whom have spoken in only one congress (1,777 out of 2,278 authors). Moreover, there is an increasing feminin presence …
De la place des médias dans l'analyse des affaires sportives
Cet article se propose d’examiner le rôle de la presse dans deux affaires touchant le sport : d’une part, l’affaire du Tour de France cycliste 1998 marqué par les révélations de l’ampleur du dopage et d’autre part la polémique divulguant la présence clandestine de footballeurs mineurs africains dans les clubs français. A partir de corpus textuels analysés avec le logiciel Prospéro, nous avons étudié ce qui caractérise les productions médiatiques …
Resistance to Technological Innovation in Elite Sport
In 1998, the French Canoe and Kayak Federation embarked on the creation of a new kayak. However, there was concern it would not succeed in its venture due to 'social resistance'. This article aims therefore to reveal the social characteristics of those showing opposition to technological innovation, as well as those who are calling for it, and to determine the reasons behind reticence. A questionnaire was handed out to elite athletes, and intervi…

Prospéro was conceived as a program for the analysis of corpora of texts characterized by a certain variability (particularly in the use of argumentation and time). We consider these abstracts as a …

A Case Study of Withdrawal From French Boxing
This study analyzes the major factors related to the high turnover rate in French boxing. In 1995, the drop-out rate of French boxers was 54 percent, which consisted primarily of beginners and young participants in the 14-20 age bracket. Withdrawal from the sport results from four, inter-related factors: (1) the difference between participants' expectations and the reality of the sport; (2) the quality of the relationships between training partne…
