The phrase "martial arts studies" is increasingly circulating as a
term to describe a new field of interest. But many academic fields
including history, philosophy, anthropology, and Area studies
already engage with martial arts in their own particular way.
Therefore, is there really such a thing as a unique field of
martial arts studies? Martial Arts Studies is the first book to
engage directly with these questions. It assesses the multiplicity
and heterogeneity of possible approaches to martial arts studies,
exploring orientations and limitations of existing approaches. It
makes a case for constructing the field of martial arts studies in
terms of key coordinates from post-structuralism, cultural studies,
media studies, and post-colonialism. By using these
anti-disciplinary approaches to disrupt the approaches of other
disciplines, Martial Arts Studies proposes a field that both
emerges out of and differs from its many disciplinary locations.
