Envisager une A(c)tude en littA(c)rature comparA(c)e portant sur Paul ValA(c)ry et Jorge Luis Borges, c'est comprendre que les deux A(c)crivains ont manifestA(c) une inquiA(c)tude particuliA]re A l'A(c)gard de leur identitA(c), se tenant A l'abri d'un rAle public incertain. Les auteurs ont tentA(c) de dA(c)finir, A travers une quAate permanente et angoissante manifeste dans leurs oeuvres, une nature humaine ambiguA, paradoxale, parfois monstrueuse, comme celles d'Edmond Teste ou d'Ireneo Funes. Au cours de cette quAate solitaire, seront convoquA(c)s les univers symboliques du rAave, de l'art...

Sport is a cultural institution that stands at the interface between political and civil society. In divided communities, sport has been an agent of separation, sectarian hatred and violence, but also a highly effective tool for conflict resolution, reconciliation and peace-building.

In this keynote study, John Sugden draws on a lifetime s experience of working in sport in divided communities, as both researcher and organiser/activist, to develop a definitive and distinctive methodological and theoretical model for peace-building in sport. The book is centred on three...

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...

There have been numerous biographies of Nelson, but most fail to penetrate the mythology encrusting Britain's greatest naval hero. John Sugden has examined thousands of naval, military, diplomatic and personal documents. He has ruthlessly stripped away the legends and brilliantly reconstructed Nelson's private and public life.
"Nelson: A Dream of Glory" charts the period of Nelson's career most neglected by earlier writers -- from childhood to his debut as a public hero after the breathtaking victory against the Spanish fleet at Cape St Vincent, when he became an admiral and stood on the...

This text examines the political nature of sport and leisure in Northern Ireland as an (often overlooked) aspect of the divided community. The politics of partition are integral to the rivalry between clubs, to the support the clubs receive, and even to the very choice of games played and watched.

World football is in crisis. The corruption scandal engulfing FIFA is arguably the biggest story in the history of modern sport and a watershed for sport governance. More than a decade ago, John Sugden and Alan Tomlinson laid the foundations for subsequent investigations with the publication of Badfellas, a groundbreaking work of critical sport sociology that exposed the systematic corruption at the heart of world football. It was a book that FIFA and Sepp Blatter tried to ban.

Now re-issued to combine the original contents of Badfellas with new chapters covering the...

More than four hundred years after his death, Sir Francis Drake remains one of the legendary figures of history. His attacks on Spanish cities and ships transformed his private war into a struggle for survival between Protestant England and Catholic Spain. His exploits marked the emergence of England as a major maritime nation.

Global sporting events involve the creation, management and mediation of cultural meanings for consumption by massive media audiences. The apotheosis of this cultural form is the Olympic Games. This challenging and provocative new book explores the Olympic spectacle, from the multi-media bidding process and the branding and imaging of the Games, to security, surveillance and control of the Olympic product across all of its levels.

The book argues that the process of commercialization, directed by the IOC itself, has enabled audiences to interpret its traditional objects in...
