German-Italian Sports Relationships event, 7 Oct 2023, Cologne (D)

On Saturday 7 October 2023, 12-1:30 PM, an event will take place on:

Italia-Germania in dieci istantanee. Storie di una relazione sportiva e sentimentale

Sport in den Beziehungen zwischen Italien und Deutschland

CESH members welcome!

Venue: Istituto Italiano di Cultura

Universitätsstrasse 81

50931 Köln (Germany)

German presentation: https://iiccolonia.esteri.it/de/gli_eventi/calendario/italien-deutschland-in-11-schnappschuessen-geschichten-einer-sportlichen-und-emotionalen-verbindung-%e2%94%82iic-koeln/

Italian presentation: https://iiccolonia.esteri.it/it/gli_eventi/calendario/italia-germania-in-undici-istantanee-storie-di-una-relazione-sportiva-e-sentimentale%e2%94%82iic-colonia/

L’Istituto italiano di cultura di Colonia in collaborazione con l’European Committee for Sports History, sabato 7 ottobre 2023, accoglierà undici dei maggiori studiosi di storia dello sport italiana, che in 90 minuti ripercorreranno le tappe più significative della relazione tra Italia e Germania. In ogni disciplina sportiva, la competizione tra questi due paesi ha assunto un valore importante sul piano diplomatico e su quello sentimentale, coinvolgendo non solo la classe politica, ma anche milioni di appassionati, i quali hanno visto in questi incontri un significato altro, volto a connaturare la propria dimensione identitaria nel segno della comune appartenenza all’Unione Europea. Per ognuno degli undici studiosi coinvolti, c’è stato un evento che meglio degli altri ha caratterizzato questo rapporto. Senza conoscere quale, secondo gli altri colleghi, sia stato tale avvenimento, questi dieci ricercatori si sfideranno, cercando di convincere il pubblico che l’episodio da loro raccontato sia l’icona reale della relazione sportiva tra i due paesi. Si assisterà, perciò, ad un “boxeo” storico-sportivo, che coinvolgerà il pubblico in un affascinante percorso a ritroso durante il quale verranno rievocati i più importanti momenti caratterizzanti le relazioni tra Italia e Germania, dando un importante contributo alla riflessione sul ruolo della cultura popolare nei rapporti tra le due nazioni.

Fabien Archambault (Université Paris-1 Panthéon Sorbonne)

Daphné Bolz (Université de Rouen Normandie)

Clément Luy (École normale supérieure de Lyon & Université de Rouen Normandie)
