Conceived as an integral component of the FAITHBALL project, the Talks bring together historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and cultural scholars to examine how narratives, myths, and ritual practices surrounding football have shaped identities and power relations in Spain under Franco and in Argentina during periods of political transformation.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">The initiative is supported by the European Committee for Sports History (CESH) and the Italian Society for the History of Sport (SISS), and benefits from the institutional and organizational collaboration of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) and the University of Buenos Aires (UBA). The series is funded by the European Union through the Marie Sk\u0142odowska\u2011Curie Actions (MSCA).&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">Its academic objective is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, disseminate ongoing research, and create a transnational space for critical reflection on football as a cultural, political, and symbolic phenomenon.

Established in 1995, CESH brings together researchers from across Europe and beyond, encouraging comparative and transnational perspectives on sport history. The Committee organizes annual congresses, supports early\u2011career scholars, and promotes high\u2011quality academic research within the broader field of sports studies.\nThrough the patronage of SISS and CESH, the Faithball Talks benefit from the support of two major academic communities committed to fostering rigorous, innovative, and internationally connected research on sport.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAITHBALL TALKS The Faithball Talks are a series of academic seminars designed to explore the intersections between football, politics, religion, and collective memory across different historical contexts.
