運動社會史哲學熱門與前瞻研究議題：書目分析研究

Hotspots and prospective academic topics in the sociology, history, and philosophy of sport: A bibliometric analysis

運動社會史哲學是運動社會學、運動史學與運動哲學的統稱，主要透過社會學、史學與哲學的觀點、理論與方法，探討人類在各種社會環境中的互動。運動作為一種文化活動，其相關現象皆屬於社會過程的一部分，並反映社會變遷與發展。本研究分析2013至2023年間7本高影響力的國際運動社會史哲學領域期刊，共納入4,565篇文獻，並採用文獻內容探勘工具CATAR進行分析，輔以「運動社會學研究議題與指標一覽表」進行分類。結果歸納出3個熱門研究議題，依序為：「種族與族群＋教育」、「文化＋性別」、「政治與政策＋種族與族群」。此外，本研究也整理出3個具前瞻性的潛力研究議題：「種族與族群＋教育」、「社會化＋種族與族群」、「教育＋性別」。其中，「種族與族群＋教育」與「文化＋性別」既是熱門議題，也是前瞻研究領域，顯示這些國際主流議題下仍有許多待開發的研究方向。隨著時代演進，社會議題日益多元，當前國際研究趨勢多採跨領域與跨議題的方式，並可見挪威、西班牙、瑞典等非英語系國家的研究數量正快速崛起。本研究綜整運動社會史哲學領域的研究趨勢，除了檢視近年的發展現況之外，更期望能為相關學者在選擇研究主題時提供參考。

Introduction: The sociology, history, and philosophy of sport are three interrelated academic disciplines that examine human interactions in different social contexts from sociological, historical, and philosophical perspectives. As a cultural activity, sport and its related phenomena reflect social processes and play a role in societal development. Methods: The present study analyzed 4,565 articles published between 2013 and 2023 in seven high-impact academic journals. These articles were analyzed using CATAR (Content Analysis Toolkit for Academic Research) and a“Categorization and Indicator Framework for Research Topics in the Sociology of Sport”for classification. Results: This study identified three popular research topics:“Race and Ethnicity + Education,”“Culture + Gender,”and“Politics and Policy + Race and Ethnicity.”Additionally, three emerging research topics were highlighted:“Race and Ethnicity + Education,”“Socialization + Race and Ethnicity,”and“Education + Gender.”Notably,“Race and Ethnicity + Education”and“Culture + Gender”were found to be both popular and forward-looking topics, indicating their continued relevance and potential for further investigation. Furthermore, the study observed an increasing number of publications from non-English-speaking countries, particularly Norway, Spain, and Sweden. Conclusion: By synthesizing the research trends and the current status of studies in the sociology, history, and philosophy of sport, this study not only examines recent developments but also aims to provide a reference point for researchers when selecting future research topics.
