Boxing is infused with ideas about masculinity, power, race and
social class, and as such is an ideal lens through which social
scientists can examine key modern themes. In addition, its inherent
contradictions of extreme violence and beauty and of discipline and
excess have long been a source of inspiration for writers and film
makers. Essential reading for anyone interested in the sociology of
sport and cultural representations of gender, Boxing, Masculinity
and Identity brings together ethnographic research with material
from film, literature and journalism. Through this combination of
theoretical insight and cultural awareness, Woodward explores the
social constructs around boxing and our experience and
understanding of central issues including: masculinity mind, body
and the construction of identity spectacle and performance:
tensions between the public and private person boxing on film: the
role of cultural representations in building identities
methodologies: issues of authenticity and 'truth' in social
science.
