The everyday makeup of contemporary sport is increasingly
characterised by a perceived explosion of 'deviance' - violence,
drug taking, racism, homophobia, misogyny, corruption and excess.
Whereas once these behaviours may have been subject to the moral
judgments of authority, in the face of dramatic socio-cultural
change they become more a matter of populist consumer gaze.
In addressing these developments this book provides a new and
insightful approach toward the study of 'deviance' in the realm of
sport.
New Perspectives in Sport and 'Deviance' awakens the sociology
of sport to the possibilities of re-imagining 'deviance' and offers
an evocative approach which will appeal both to academics and
students in the field of sociology of sport and sociology of
deviance.
