“…Many studies have been conducted on CSCs in the domain of sports sociology, with a large majority of them focusing on the social function of sports, which was hotly debated in the 1970s and 1980s. The logic behind taking this research approach at that time was to question the legitimacy of team policies by focusing on the signiˆcance of CSCs' community-building function (Goto, 2008;Goto and Morisaka, 2006;Sekine et al, 2009). Later, in the 1990s and 2000s, against the backdrop of Japan's sagging economy andˆscal contraction, there was growing interest in the idea of independent local sports teams led by local residents, which would avoid public intervention wherever possible.…”

Hiroshi Mizukami 1 and Mitsuru Kurosu 2 : Public spheres created by an intermediary network NPO for community sport clubs. Japan J. Phys. Educ. Hlth. Sport Sci. 61: 555 574, December, 2016AbstractThis article aims to elucidate the activities of an intermediary network NPO for community sport clubs (CSC) based on the theory of civil society. The activities of this intermediary network NPO occur in the intermediary sphere between the public and the private realm, creating a public sphere. This article discusses the implications of this public sphere created by the intermediary network NPO. This NPO started with the publication of a newsletter in 1998. Later it obtained corporate status and built an internet community. In 2007, it selected promoters for the nationwide organization. The target of analysis was the activityˆelds from 1998 to 2007. This article refers to the theory of new social movements by Albert Melucci and the theory of radical democracy by Ernesto Laclau. These 2 theories provide an approach for understanding and interpreting the process whereby individuals challenging the limitations of a social structure develop into citizens with public intentions, as a public sphere.While the newsletter community was a public sphere, where public intentions could be expressed through the representatives of the network NPO, the internet community was a free discourse space, where individuals could express their personal intentions. These 2 communities corresponded to a process of individualization from individuals engaging mainly in private acts to citizens with public intentions. Melucci explained this process as the potential for individualization. These communities (discourse spaces) promoted awareness of structural undecidability and non-recovery of a unique hegemony in theˆeld of sport administration. Many sport practitioners were equivalently aware of it. Laclau explained the situation with the phrase,``chain of equivalence''.The intermediary network NPO selected the promoters of community sport clubs from among people with public intentions and created a mechanism that enabled the mobilization of these people from the intermediary realm. This mechanism was achieved by leveraging information and human resources in aˆeld independent of politics and economy. This is how a new political hegemony was generated against the sport administration. This article discussed the creation of a public sphere that promoted awareness of structural undecidability and non-recovery of a unique hegemony through the potential for individualization, which has led to the next political stage of sports.

: The complementary relationship between the Japan Sports Association (JASA) and an Information Network Support NPO: Creation of a public sphere through the relationship between mobilization and symbolic movement. Japan J. Phys. Educ. Hlth. Sport Sci. 62: 491 510, December, 2017 AbstractThe purpose of this research was to clarify the importance of the complementary relationship between the Japan Sports Association (JASA) and an Information Network Support NPO (NPO) for creation of a public sphere based on the main arguments of Albert Melucci in his theory of new social movements and Ernesto Laclau and Chantal MouŠe in their theory of radical democracy. For this, the JASA (a private sporting organization that plays a central role in theˆeld of Japanese sports) and the NPO (an external organization that has supported the development of community sports clubs [CSCs]) were regarded as civil society organizations that are independent of the public and private sectors, in order to comprehend the complementary relationship between the 2 in real terms.Data on the actual practices of the JASA and the NPO between 1997 and 2007 were analyzed, and the complementary relationship between the 2 organizations was then discussed based on the concepts of mobilization and symbolic movement. Mobilization is a social space in which individuals redeˆne their social roles in a self-recursive manner through acceptance of information resources related to the values and ideals that society requires. Symbolic movement is a generic term for social movements whereby individuals' voluntary discourse act and associations act are transformed into civil societybased public intention.As a result, it was clariˆed that the JASA has been facilitating mobilization that can temporarily remove individuals from public bureaucracy and customs and direct them towards parties related to CSCs through announcements of investigation and research results and lifelong sports vision and recommendations. On the other hand, it was revealed that the NPO has been playing a symbolic role, leading to normative discourse act and associations act that are initiated by various individuals who are interested in CSCs, namely the private sector, through interactive information exchange that leverages the information and telecommunications infrastructure. Although the business methods of these 2 civil society organizations seem to be confrontational when viewed from the perspective of a complementary relationship, it was suggested that creative confrontation between mobilization and symbolic movement is a requirement for creation of a public sphere. Furthermore, the complementary relationship between mobilization and symbolic movement that attempts to aggregate and share various sources of information related to CSCs, showed some degree of ambiguity, and accordingly may be transformed into public intention in the form of collective/political action.
