Sport in Consumer Culture
ISBN: 9780333912850 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text offers a distinctive introduction to sport in contemporary society, drawing on recent developments in sociological theory and research, particularly in relation to debates about culture and consumption. The book argues that sport can be seen as central to the "economies of signs and space" of late modernity in which a concern with the body as an object of contemplation and improvement, and not just an instrument for getting things done, increasingly informs images in the mass media, politics and everyday life.

Religion and Sports in American Culture
ISBN: 9780415645317 / Angielski / Twarda / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religion and Sports in American Culture explores the relationship between religion and modern sports in America. Whether found in the religious purpose of ancient Olympic Games, in curses believed to plague the Chicago Cubs, or in the figure of Tim Tebow, religion and sports have been and are still tightly intertwined. While there is widespread suspicion that sports are slowly encroaching on the territory historically occupied by religion, Scholes and Sassower assert that sports are not replacing religion and that neither is sports a religion. Instead, the authors look at the relationship... Religion and Sports in American Culture explores the relationship between religion and modern sports in America.

ISBN: 9781138948037 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We have entered into a new fitness boom characterized by interactive and customizable technology, from active video games such as Wii Fit to fitness apps and 'wearables'. This is the first book to examine these developments through a critical scholarly lens. It argues that human-technology relationships in fitness are now qualitatively different, requiring the consumption and production of information, a shift to 'prosumption' and interactivity. It examines the origins of these trends and implications for wider society, with the new tech rewarding some individuals and groups over others. A...

Sport, War and Society in Australia and New Zealand
ISBN: 9781138677067 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sport and war have been closely linked in Australian and New Zealand society since the nineteenth century. Sport has, variously, been advocated as appropriate training for war, lambasted as a distraction from the war effort, and resorted to as an escape from wartime trials and tribulations. War has limited the fortunes of some sporting codes and some individuals while others have blossomed in the changed circumstances. The chapters in this book range widely over the broad subject of Australian and New Zealand sport and their relation to the cataclysmic world wars of the first half of...
