Trajectories and figurations: An analysis of sports elite in Lebanon

Résumé

This study investigates the trajectories of elite sports actors in Lebanon, focusing on the three most popular sports in the country: football, basketball, and volleyball. Employing a combination of Life Course Theory and Norbert Elias's figurations, the research analyzes data gathered from interviews, academic literature, and official documents. It reveals that despite the complex Lebanese context, sports actors have the capacity to navigate and select various paths within the social and sports figurations. The findings highlight significant influences of religious communities and political structures on these trajectories whilst also identifying margins for freedom and individual strategies. The post-civil war era has distinctly shaped sports actors across generations, evolving toward a diversified and stratified governance in sports. This research underscores the need for a relational approach to comprehend the intricacies of trajectories within the Lebanese sports system.
