Australia is only a small player in the world's political and
economic landscapes, yet, for many decades, it has been considered
to be a global powerhouse in terms of its sporting successes. In
conjunction with this notion, the nation has long been portrayed as
having a preoccupation with sport. This labelling has been seen as
both a blessing and a curse. Those who value a Bourdieuian view of
culture bemoan sport's centrality to the national imagination and
the consequent lack of media coverage, funding and prestige
accorded to the arts. Other scholars question whether the popular
stereotype of the Australian sportsperson is, in fact, a myth and
that instead Australians are predominantly passive sport consumers
rather than active sport participants. Australian sport, through
its successes on the field of play and in advancing sport coaching
and management, has undergone a revolution, as both an enabler of
global processes and as subject to its influences (economic,
political, migratory etc.). This book will examine the shifting
place of Australian sports in current global and local environs,
from the perspective of spectators, players and administrators.
This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in
Society.
