The book focuses on the distinctive contribution that Joseph
Maguire has made to process sociology and the study of sport.
Maguire s work over the past three decades highlights how process
sociology has a unique perspective on the relationship between
sport, culture and society, and to the body, globalisation and
civilisational analysis.
Reflecting on this body of work and the use of process
sociology, Maguire captures the research dynamic of walking the
line' between involvement and detachment, theory and observation,
and engagement and critique. The book is structured around four
broad sections: Theory, Sport and Society; The Meaning of Sport,
Body and Society; Case Studies in Sport and Process Sociology;
Globalisation, Sport and Civilisational Analysis.
Providing an introduction to, and key examples of, a process
sociology approach to the study of sport, the body, civilising
processes and globalisation, this book will appeal to
undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in sport studies /
sports science degrees, sociology, cultural studies and to those
studying migration, globalisation and cross cultural civilisation
relations.
This book was previously published as a Special Issue of Sport
in Society.
