Popis: Recent years have seen a proliferation of sport-themed cultural, artistic, commemorative and pedagogical productions that interpret and illuminate identitarian debates in France, particularly in relation to immigration and ethnic diversity. This chapter analyses a series of these exhibitions, monuments and texts, demonstrating the relevance of sport in the contemporary commemorative landscape. It points to evolutions in the processes of memory-making globally, and explores how the mediatisation and aesthetics of sporting practices may relate to these developments.
