Bringing together boxing writers from different cultural and
disciplinary perspectives, this book offers a vital and original
contribution to the understanding of this enduringly fascinating
and controversial sport. This collected volume investigates what is
at stake in boxing in the modern world by exploring different
aspects of boxing culture and problematic concepts attached to the
sport such as masculinity and violence. This approach implies input
from different academic and creative disciplines including
aesthetics, cultural studies, creative writing, anthropology,
history, literature and sociology. The points of view of
participants in boxing as a sport, amateur and professional, will
also be incorporated. In this way, themes as different as what it
feels like to receive a punch on the nose or the role of
fist-fighting in traditional Russian folk customs will be explored.
