About the Journal
This innovative sports atlas is an observatory of sports at different geographical scales. A tool for analysing the world of sport and the dynamics that run through it, without claiming to be exhaustive, it brings together many contributions from researchers in geography and sociology, but also in anthropology, law, economics, history, political science, geopolitics, information and communication sciences, STAPS, as well as experts in digital and dynamic cartography. Going beyond a simple inventory and study of competitive sports, it is part of a multi-disciplinary and complementary approach to understanding and representing sporting cultures, sport-related issues and the ways in which they are spatialised. As a cross-disciplinary project for cartographic development and scientific dissemination aimed at a wider (extra-academic) audience, it is certainly inspired by previous reflections and productions, but is intended to be an innovative project, based on the mobilisation of a variety of materials, taking an interest in a multiplicity of themes and questions, as well as promoting scientific debate.
