The Cultural Politics of Post-9/11 American Sport: Power, Pedagogy and the Popular
ISBN: 9780415873413 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much of the writing on the post-9/11 period in the United States has focused on the role of official Government rhetoric about 9/11. Those who have focused on the news media have suggested that they played a key role in (re)defining the nation, allowing the citizenry to come to terms with 9/11, in providing 'official' understandings and interpretations of the event, and setting the terms for a geo-political-military response (the war on terror). However, strikingly absent from post-9/11 writing has been discussion on the role of sport in this moment. This text provides the first, book-length...

Sport and the Social Significance of Pleasure
ISBN: 9780415885102 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This innovative text's critical examination foregrounds the prime reason why so many people participate in or watch sport - pleasure.

This book addresses this issue via an unabashed examination of sport and the moving body via a "pleasure lens." It provides new insights about the production of various identities, power...
