Soccer, the most popular mass spectator sport in the world, has
long been a site which articulates the complexities and diversities
of the everyday life of the nation. The imaging and prioritization
of the game as a 'national' or an 'international' event in public
opinion and the media also play a critical role in transforming the
soccer culture of a nation. In this context, the FIFA World Cup
remains the grand spectacle for asserting the identity of the
nation. This book intends to offer eclectic perspectives and
discourses on the FIFA World Cup, and to throw light on the
changing dimensions of football and sports culture in terms of
identity, race, ethnicity, gender, fandom, governance, and so on.
On the one hand, it focuses on the significance of the FIFA World
Cup for nations in terms of hosting, performance, playing style,
and identity formation. On the other, it looks beyond the World Cup
to highlight the growing importance of a host of perspectives in
sport in general and football in particular with reference to art,
fandom, gender, media, and governance. The chapters in this book
were originally published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
