Sport is like a point in a hologram that contains within itself the whole of society. Yet it also possesses its own singularity, which lies in the nature of play. Edgar Morin, a sports enthusiast and particularly passionate about football, offers in this filmed interview his sociological perspective on the complexity of sport. By approaching it as a “total social phenomenon,” a concept central to Maussian methodology, he explores the various dimensions of sport in our societies.
