Descrizione del progetto DEENESFRITPL La diplomazia dello sport In seguito all’indipendenza dell’India dal dominio britannico, il cricket e altri sport britannici introdotti nel corso del periodo coloniale hanno creato i presupposti necessari allo sviluppo di relazioni culturali e diplomatiche tra questi ex-oppositori. Il progetto SPORTDIPL, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di esaminare il periodo compreso tra il 1946 e il 1996 per determinare in che misura i rapporti tra i due governi e le associazioni sportive hanno agevolato la diplomazia. Esso prenderà inoltre in considerazione il modo in cui atleti e tifosi sono stati utilizzati dai media dei due paesi per creare gerarchie a livello di razza, etnia, genere e classe sociale. Infine, l’obiettivo è spiegare il ruolo svolto da nazionalismo e identità nazionale nel mobilitare i sostenitori delle squadre sportive. Mostra l’obiettivo del progetto Nascondi l’obiettivo del progetto Obiettivo The project seeks to examine the importance of sport to the cultural politics of postcolonial international relations in the second half of the twentieth century through a case study of Indo-British sporting relations. Since the mid-Victorian era, competitive sport has been a tool of diplomacy and cultural imperialism within the British Empire. The significance of sporting relations increased after the Second World War as Britain sought to maintain close ties with its former colonies and dominions, especially through the game of cricket and events like the Olympic and Empire Games (later renamed as Commonwealth Games). This project intends to explore the organisation and the public's response to sport between England (Britain for some sports) and India in bilateral and multinational tournaments as a specific form of diplomatic and cultural encounter between the two countries. Two of its main objectives are to examine: (i) what the synergy between national governments and non-state actors such as sport associations reveals about sport as a tool of public diplomacy; (ii) the extent to which the British and India media produced colonial hierarchies of race, ethnicity, gender and class in their representation of sportspersons and spectators; and (iii) how nationalism and national identity was mobilised as a postcolonial strategy of building spectator support for sport teams. It will draw upon archival sources from the UK and India related to cricket, hockey, tennis, badminton, and the Olympic and Commonwealth Games.
