Yann Ramirez – Associate Researcher

Email: yann.ramirez@umontpellier.fr

Role and mission:

A.T.E.R. at the UFR STAPS Montpellier since September 2018.
Doctor of Sociology

Research topic:

• Sociology of violence. My initial Master's thesis and PhD dissertation PhD only intended to analyze a combat sport (in this case, Mixed Martial Arts or MMA) as a sociological subject. I wanted to use them as a window into the questioning of aggression, the history and role of aggression in sport and in various social phenomena (sport radicalization), and ritualized violence. This allows us to describe the importance and fragility of otherness, and the ambivalence of the partner/opponent. I now wish to extend the analysis to more specific phenomena of harassment.
• The sociology of the body is also an offshoot of my early work on MMA, where I focus on physical engagement, risky practices, and sports for all (contact sports, extreme sports, doping, sexuality, disability, etc.). With my new research team, my work on the body is linked to health.
• The sociology of sport, and competitive sport in particular, must be pursued, based on my early work on sporting events, the Olympic and Paralympic Movement, sports marketing, professionalism, the quest for performance, and motivations.

Yann Beldame – Contract researcher

Status: Doctor of Social Anthropology and Ethnology from EHESS-Paris – Contract researcher at Santesih

Specialty: Anthropology

Email: yann.beldame@free.fr

Role and mission:

In charge of the "ChirBa" study: "Overcoming obesity through surgery."
Bariatric surgery is increasingly being used to combat obesity. While this procedure leads to rapid weight loss, which is effective in combating severe obesity, the operation also causes a series of significant physical changes, which have been the subject of numerous medical studies, but whose individual experience and social effects have been little studied to date. This survey provides an opportunity to examine patients' perspectives, how they describe their experience of these changes, and the effects these changes have on their lives in the months following the procedure. The main objective of this research is to assess changes in eating habits and physical activity during the 12 months following the operation, shedding light on the interactions between biological, sensory, and social changes.

Research topics:

• Ethnographic survey – Spain – undocumented migrants – intersectionality
• Disability – sport and intellectual disability – Paralympics
• Rare diseases – obesity
