This book examines and establishes the sociological relevance of
the concept of populism and illuminates the ideological use of
sport, leisure, and popular culture in socio-political populist
strategies and dynamics. The first part of the book - Themes,
Concepts, Theories - sets the scene by reviewing and evaluating
populist themes, concepts, and theories and exploring their
cultural-historical roots in and application to cultural forms such
as mega-sports events, reality television programmes, and the
popular music festival. The second part - National Contexts and
Settings - examines populist elements of events and regimes in
selected cases in South America and Europe: Argentina, Brazil,
Greece, Italy, and England. In the third part - Trump Times - the
place of sport in the populist ideology and practices of US
president Donald Trump is critically examined in analyses of
Trump's authoritarian populism, his Twitter discourse, Lady Gaga at
the Super Bowl, and populist strategy on the international stage.
The book concludes with a discussion of the strong case for a
fuller sociological engagement with the populist dimensions of
sport, leisure, and popular cultural forms. Written in a clear and
accessible style, this volume will be of interest to sociologists
and social scientists beyond those specialising in popular culture
and cultural politics of sport and leisure, as the topic of
populism and its connection to popular cultural forms and practices
has come increasingly into prominence in the contemporary world.
