VIPS2

Violence, Innovations, Policies, Socialisationsand Sports Laboratory (VIPS²) - Research group 4636

Universities Rennes 2 and Le Mans, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Rennes

The VIPS² focuses on three questions around physical, sporting and artistic activities (PSAA):

What are the processes involved in the penetration of PSAAs in social spaces or in resistance to them?

How do PSAAs play a part in social and cultural integration?

What are the levers for transformation of PSAAs and their impacts on environments?

It is a question of understanding and explaining the behaviours and actions of individuals and social groups, and of suggesting recommendations for the relevant stakeholders.
