“…T he copying and adoption of these new practices would be good evidence for the phenomenon that is variously called "Eurocentrism", "cultural dependence" or "coloniality" in South America, which is to say a continued belief amongst previously colonized peoples that social practices emanating from the former metropolitan centres must, by their very nature and origin, be superior and worthy of emulation (Clevenger, 2017;Mangan, 2002;Buarque and Fontes, 2014). There is evidence for this attitude in other spheres of life, of course: in the words of one Colombian journalist, for example, "Europe is the centre of the greatest civilization the world has ever seen, and we cannot be indifferent to its current affairs, as we have received everything from there" (El Telegrama, 16 Oct. 1886).…”

This article explores the early history of Association Football in South America through the case study of the first translations of the rules of the game from English into Portuguese and Spanish. It demonstrates, by means of a comparison of the different temporalities and contexts of these documents, the connected and transnational nature of the sport. This has often been neglected in national paradigm studies of football pioneers and the first matches, clubs and leagues. The study of the translators suggests new avenues for the study of the interlinked histories of sport, politics and culture.

“…The decolonial perspective critically analyzes historical processes, and such kinds of studies have been developed in various areas (e.g. : Clevenger, 2017;Ideland, 2018) including management studies (e.g. : Mandiola, 2018;Mollan, 2019).…”

Decolonial Reflections in Marketing: The Colonialities of Power, Knowledge and Being

Marketing studies have been focused on hegemonic narratives developed in the Global North. In the field of Marketing, there is a growing interest in the use of critical theories and historical perspectives. The decolonial perspective is presented by the author as a theory that could co-exist with pluralist critical historical studies in Marketing, particularly the Colonialities of Power, Knowledge and Being. The marketing field, particularly critical historical studies, should create an environment favorable to transdisciplinarity and transculturality, going beyond Eurocentric logics and Western paradigms, and establishing dialogues with silenced and marginalizes knowledges and perspectives.

“…A sport history curriculum, according to Clevenger (2017), informed by decolonial thinking, offers the potential consideration of alternative avenues of historical representation. A challenge not taken up by sport historians in South Africa to date is the question: How does decolonisation thinking impact on a sport history curriculum at an institution of higher learning in South Africa?…”

A renewed interest in decolonising the university curriculum in South Africa was sparked by the student protests of 2015. University faculties and departments throughout the country responded. Sport Science departments, the home of sport history modules, remained, however, aloof and removed from this development. This paper attempts to rupture this silence by addressing decolonisation of sport history at a conceptual curriculum level through the lenses of the National Question. After an introduction, a discussion of decolonisation and decoloniality is presented. This is followed by a conversation on sport history curriculum. Finally, I venture to suggest theoretical underpinnings for a decolonised sport history curriculum.
