This innovative and timely volume of essays critically interrogates
the shared histories between sport and a variety of leisure,
entertainment and cultural pursuits. Sport's Relationship with
Other Leisure Industries: Historical perspectives spans the bowling
greens of early modern England to the postmodern exhibition halls
of contemporary Las Vegas, and considers examples from Europe,
North America and India. Utilizing a range of historical methods
and sources, they describe how sport has interacted with a broad
range of leisure forms, including tourism, shopping, theatre,
circus, carnival and film. The collection takes into account the
economic, cultural, geographic and political interactions sport has
forged and poses a series of questions: about how sport has been
forged in contemporary consumer capitalism; about the manner in
which it has been shaped by space and place; and the ways in which
entrepreneurs, sportspeople and artists have represented sporting
competition. The collection will help both students and scholars
conceptualise sporting networks, and will be of interest to those
working in multiple fields. This book was previously published as a
special issue of Sport in History.
