MENESES, Guillermo Alonso  y  AVALOS GONZALEZ, Juan Manuel. Social research on football soccer and its links to communication studies: Approaches and examples. Comun. soc [online]. 2013, n.20, pp.33-64. ISSN 0188-252X.

The social sciences made a rather timid progress in researching football soccer during the twentieth century, an aspect which extended to the efforts of media and communication studies to investigate the world's most popular sport. Nevertheless, as an area of academic endeavour, media and communication studies developed themes, methods and concepts which are here reviewed, and taken as a point of departure for a future research agenda of football as a mediated social phenomenon.

Palabras llave : Football soccer; social sciences; communication and media studies; research agenda.
