Sport's "concussion crisis" has been characterized by controversial
scientific discoveries, athlete suicides, and high-profile lawsuits
involving professional sports leagues, while provoking widespread
media coverage, changes to game rules, and debate about the future
of many popular sports. Sociocultural Examinations of Sports
Concussion is the first edited collection to bring together
multiple sociocultural perspectives on sports concussion that
interrogate the social, economic, political, and historical forces
shaping the cultural impacts of these injuries. Each of the ten
chapters moves beyond biomedical or neuroscientific paradigms to
critically examine a specific intersection of sociocultural factors
influencing public perceptions about concussion or athlete
experiences of brain injury. These include analyses of media and
advertising, medical treatment and diagnostic protocols, gender and
masculinity, developments in equipment and scientific models,
economics and labor politics, understandings of trauma and
recovery, public health philosophies, and disciplinary differences
in framing the ontologies of concussion. Drawing from a wide range
of theoretical and methodological approaches, Sociocultural
Examinations of Sports Concussion offers a diverse set of analyses
examining brain injuries as cultural and embodied phenomena
affecting more than just athletes' brains, but also embedded within
and (re)shaping meanings, identities, and social contexts. It is
valuable reading for graduate students and researchers interested
in the experience and treatment of sports concussion, sports
sociology, and sports technology.
