The cultural ubiquity, political prominence and economic
significance of contemporary sport present fertile terrain for its
critical socio-cultural analysis. From corporate and media
dominated mega-events like the Olympic Games, to state programmes
for nation-building and health promotion, to the cultural politics
of "race", gender, sexuality, age and disability, sport is so
profoundly marked by relations of power that it lends itself to
critique and deconstruction. Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport
brings together leading experts on sport to address these issues
and to reflect on the continued appeal of sport to people across
the globe, as well as on the forms of inequality that sport both
produces and highlights. Including a Foreword by Harry Cleaver and
Afterword by Michael Berube, this book assesses the impact of this
work on the fields of 'mainstream' Marxism and cultural studies.
Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport is centred on three vital
questions: Is Marxism still relevant for understanding sport in the
twenty-first century? Has Marxism been preserved or transcended by
cultural studies? What is the relationship between theory and
intervention in the politics of sport? The result is a unique and
diverse examination of modern sports culture. The first book
published on the relationship between sport and Marxism for over
twenty years, Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport is an invaluable
resource for students of sport sociology, Marxism, and cultural
studies at all levels.
