Articoli correlati a Power Games: A Critical Sociology of Sport
Critical and radical perspectives have been central to the emergence of the sociology of sport as a discipline in its own right. This ground-breaking new book is the first to offer a comprehensive theory and method for a critical sociology of sport. It argues that class, political economy, hegemony and other concepts central to the radical tradition are essential for framing, understanding and changing social and political relations within sport and between sport and society.
The book draws upon the disciplines of politics, sociology, history and philosophy to provide a critical analysis of power relations throughout the world of sport, while offering important new case studies from such diverse sporting contexts as the Olympics, world football, boxing, cricket, tennis and windsurfing. In the process, it addresses key topics such as:
* nations and nationalism
* globalisation
* race
* gender
* political economy.
Power Games can be used as a complete introduction to the study of sport and society. And will be essential reading for any serious student of sport. At the same time, it is a provocative book that by argument and example challenges those who research and write about sport to make their work relevant to social and political reform.

Product Description:
In this important agenda-setting book, leading sport scholars draw upon the disciplines of politics, sociology, history and philosophy to provide a critical analysis of power relations in the world of sport. Unifying the studies within this fascinating collection is a shared view that the sociology of sport may have become too removed from the applied and activist projects that inspired the development of the discipline in the 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on studies of sporting contexts as diverse as the Olympics, world football, cricket, boxing, tennis and windsurfing, the book explores key themes in the sociology of sport, including: nations and nationalism; globalisation; race; gender; political economy. Power Games demonstrates how through sound theoretical reasoning, solid empirical investigation and critical imagination the sociology of sport can inform critical debate as well as contribute to policy development and social change. This book challenges those who study, research and write about sport to make their work relevant to social and political reform.
