Global Perspectives of Sport and Physical Culture is a compilation
of diverse essays derived from the works of prominent international
scholars that address significant international issues relative to
sporting practices from a historical perspective. A variety of
movement cultures are examined and analysed, such as various
aspects of the turner and gymnastic movements, the transnational
development of dance, competitive sport, non-competitive
performance, and mountaineering. Michael Krugers introductory
chapter sets a framework for analysis with a historiographical and
philosophical treatment of modern sport as an example of
nationalism, internationalism and cultural imperialism. The
succeeding chapters discuss the confrontation of commercialization
with national interests, the importance of gender in the
construction of various movement cultures, as well as the
conditions and circumstances that effect societal and cultural
change. This book was previously published as a special issue of
the International Journal of the History of Sport.
