Sport has long been a central element of cultures throughout the world. Yet, it is often viewed by social scientists as a marginal activity. This wide-ranging collection of essays aims to address this inconsistency, exploring the ways in which sport has been marked by the discourses of race, class, gender, sexuality and nation which inform the structure and experience of wider society. Both theoretically ambitious and accessible, it provides an extension to the field, and is set to become a default text for anyone interested in contemporary cultural forms and their political significance.
A Companion to Sport brings together writing by leading sports theorists and social and cultural thinkers, to explore sport as a central element of contemporary culture.
Positions sport as a crucial subject for critical analysis, as one of the most significant forms of popular culture
Includes both well-known social and cultural theorists whose work lends itself to an interrogation of sport, and leading theorists of sport itself
Offers a comprehensive examination of sport as a social and cultural practice and institution
Explores sport in relation to modernity, postcolonial theory, gender, violence, race, disability and politics
