Le corps en jeu : les conditions sociales de l'arrêt de travail des footballeurs professionnels

Underlaid by a long-term case study in a professional football club, this analysis of the social conditions that led these players to temporarily stop work when their physical integrity was impaired focuses on relations within the work group. It describes how this process fits into the framework of social relations between various categories of workers who adjust individually and collectively to occupational requirements. While inquiring into the conditions of bringing players physically into play, it focuses on the practices of members of the medical staff whose position within the group is awkward.
