Abstract
The paper introduces the xenology as a useful perspective in the sport studies. If focuseson ‘the Other’ category as the key idea of sociology. At the same time, ‘the Otherness’remains a constant feature of sport. In effect, ‘the Other’ analysis becomes a socio-psychologicalbackground of sport analysis. The text considers five elements of the xenological‘Other’s’ characteristic in sport terms. Those are the Strangeness, the Meeting, the Sign ofthe ‘Ourness’ limits, the Experience and the Feeling of fear and desire. That approach explainsmany important sport aspects: aggression, fans’ behavior, rivalry and co-operation,group-thinking syndrome. The xenology gives a new perspective in the sport studies andit provides some new research ideas.
