The sociology of sport is a core discipline within the academic
study of sport. It helps us to understand what sport is and why it
matters. Sociological knowledge, implicit or explicit, therefore
underpins scholarly enquiry into sport in every aspect. The
Routledge Handbook of the Sociology of Sport is a landmark
publication that brings together the most important themes,
theories and issues within the sociology of sport, tracing the
contours of the discipline and surveying the state-of-the-art. Part
One explores the main theories and analytical approaches that
define contemporary sport sociology and introduces the most
important methodological issues confronting researchers working in
the social scientific study of sport. Part Two examines the
connections and divisions between sociology and cognate disciplines
within sport studies, including history, anthropology, economics,
leisure and tourism studies, philosophy, politics and psychology.
Part Three investigates how the most important social divisions
within sport, and in wider society, are addressed in sport
sociology, including 'race', gender, class, sexuality and
disability. Part Four explores a wide range of pressing
contemporary issues associated with sport, including sport and the
body, social problems associated with sport, sport places and
settings, and the global aspects of sport. Written by a team of
leading international sport scholars, including many of the most
well-known, respected and innovative thinkers working in the
discipline, the Routledge Handbook of the Sociology of Sport is an
essential reference for any student, researcher or professional
with an interest in sport.
