Physical cultural studies (PCS) is a dynamic and rapidly developing
field of study. This handbook offers the first definitive account
of the state of the art in PCS, showcasing the latest research and
methodological approaches. It examines the boundaries,
preoccupations, theories and politics of PCS, drawing on
transdisciplinary expertise from areas as diverse as sport studies,
sociology, history, cultural studies, performance studies and
anthropology. Featuring chapters written by world-leading scholars,
this handbook examines the most important themes and issues within
PCS, exploring the active body through the lens of class, age,
gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, (dis)ability, medicine,
religion, space and culture. Each chapter provides an overview of
the state of knowledge in a particular subject area, while also
considering possibilities for developing future research.
Representing a landmark contribution to physical cultural studies
and allied fields, the Routledge Handbook of Physical Cultural
Studies is an essential text for any undergraduate or postgraduate
course on physical culture, sports studies, leisure studies, the
sociology of sport, the body, or sport and social theory.
