Abstract

Throughout the twentieth century, the sports world has undergone profound changes and became more complex and heterogeneous. Authors from different theoretical framework have studied the contemporary sports, and they have indicated coherent ways for its interpretations. The aim of this paper is to propose some ideas that connect historical and sociological studies about the sport, as well as briefly discuss some thesis about the configuration of the sports world in contemporary societies. In particular, it seeks to counter the argument that there is a break in the sports development produced by post-modernity and highlight the dynamism of sport spectacle.
