Michel Foucault's work profoundly influences the way we think about
society, in particular how we understand social power, the self,
and the body. This book gives an innovative and entirely new
analysis of is later works making it a one-stop guide for students,
exploring how Foucauldian theory can inform our understanding of
the body, domination, identity and freedom as experienced through
sport and exercise. Divided into three themed parts, this book
considers: Foucault's ideas and key debates Foucault's theories to
explore power relations, the body, identity and the construction of
social practices in sport and exercise how individuals make sense
of the social forces surrounding them, considering physical
activity, fitness and sport practices as expressions of freedom and
sites for social change. Accessible and clear, including useful
case studies helping to bring the theory to real-life, Foucault,
Sport and Exercise considers cultures and experiences in sports,
exercise and fitness, coaching and health promotion. In addition to
presenting established Foucauldian perspectives and debates, this
text also provides innovative discussion of how Foucault's later
work can inform the study and understanding of sport and the
physically active body.
