Plasticity in Motion

Sport, Gender, and Biopolitics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book draws on Catherine Malabou's work on plasticity, investigating the transformative power of sport both in its ability to positively shape and, conversely, to destroy. Foschia positions sport as the ontological and discursive force that shapes how we work, watch, and play.
