This comprehensive, novel and exciting interdisciplinary collection
brings together leading international authorities from the history
of sport, social history, art history, film history, design
history, cultural studies and related fields to explore the ways in
which visual culture has shaped, and continues to impact upon, our
understanding of sport as an integral element within popular
culture. Visual representations of sport have previously been
little examined and under-exploited by historians, with little
focused and rigorous scrutiny of these vital historical documents.
This study seeks to redress this balance by engaging with a wide
variety of cultural products, ranging from sports stadia and
monuments in the public arena, to paintings, prints, photographs,
posters, stamps, design artefacts, films and political cartoons. By
examining the contexts of both the production and reception of this
historical evidence, and highlighting the multiple meanings and
social significance of this body of work, the collection provides
original, powerful and stimulating insights into the ways in which
visual material assists our knowledge and understanding of sport.
This collection will facilitate researchers, publishers and others
with an interest in sport to move beyond traditional text-based
scholarship and appreciate the powerful imagery of sport in new
ways. This book was previously published as a special issue of the
International Journal of the History of Sport.
