In this conference, we want to bring together scholars from as many academic fields and other research areas as possible to exchange ideas, arguments, hypotheses, theories, methodologies, research and results in the fields of martial arts and combat sports, on the themes of body techniques as well as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, from their daily everyday realms of hobbies and lifestyle, all the way through to the realms of elite competition.

Announcement

Argument

From 28th to 30th June 2023, the Martial Arts Studies and 16th JORRESCAM conference will be held in Bordeaux, France. The title is: Body Techniques, Martial Arts and Combat Sports; From everyday life to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The conference will be organised by the Universities of Bordeaux in partnership with Cardiff University and the Technical University of Madrid. It will be the first time that a multilingual conference has been organised in this field: papers in French, English and Spanish are welcome. The conference also welcomes papers from all scientific disciplines: from the biological sciences and bioengineering sciences to the humanities and social sciences.

The themes of bodily training, discipline, technics, habits, and other embodied practices in the production of subjects and social institutions have become important interdisciplinary themes across the sciences, social sciences, and humanities in recent decades.

In this conference, we want to bring together scholars from as many academic fields and other research areas as possible to exchange ideas, arguments, hypotheses, theories, methodologies, research and results in the fields of martial arts and combat sports, on the themes of body techniques as well as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, from their daily everyday realms of hobbies and lifestyle, all the way through to the realms of elite competition.

We invite 300-word abstracts for 20-minute papers that engage with issues of body technics, martial arts and combat sports, from any scientific field of research – such as the social sciences, physiology, philosophy, history, biomechanics, humanities, management, as well as theoretical or epistemological considerations.

NB: Our two core conference themes are body technics and the Olympics, as well as the Paralympics. All papers must engage with body technics. Not all papers need to engage with the Olympics or Paralympics. All papers must make important contributions to the scholarly understanding of body technics in martial arts and combat sports, whether theoretical or practical, bioscientific, physiological, medical, social, cultural, historical, etc.

Abstracts and papers can be submitted in French, English or Spanish.

NB: Oral presentations may be in any one of the three official languages of the conference. However, your Presentation Slides (e.g. Powerpoint, Keynote, Prezi, etc.) must include keywords and as much guidance as possible in at least one of the other two conference languages.
