Transforming Sport and Physical Cultures through Feminist
Knowledges contributes new perspectives on the entanglement of
digital and physical cultures, more-than-human relations, post and
decolonial ways of knowing, and how onto-epistemologies of sport
come to matter. These perspectives are explored through a diverse
array of topics, including, the embodiment of netball through
Feminist Physical Cultural Studies; pregnant embodiment and
implications of the postgenomic turn; posthumanist perspectives on
women’s negotiation of affective body work and an
autoethnographic account of how masculinity materialises through
football; the mediation of gendered subjectivity through the
digital-physical cultures of cycling; as well as how decolonial and
postcolonial approaches identify the gendered and racialised
relations of power in sport for development and football campaigns
aimed at women’s empowerment. The thread that connects these
chapters is the ‘doing’ of feminism as a generative knowledge
practice that can transform ways of imagining, knowing, and
affecting more equitable futures. This feminist collection
contributes to the movement of ideas and transformation of
knowledge within and across sport and physical cultures. Authors
explore the power relations implicated in the gendered formation of
physical cultures (across leisure, sport, the arts, tourism,
well-being, and various embodied practices) from a range of
disciplinary perspectives and theory-method approaches. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of Leisure Sciences.

Transnational organizations and practitioners who use sport for
international development often position sport as a unique option
for tackling development challenges. While sport can be a tool for
social change, the authors in this collection bring a critical eye
to this assumption and offer new perspectives on the use of sport
for development and peace (SDP) in local and global contexts. The
book seeks to generate new dialogues and explore linkages for
development and SDP researchers through considerations of sport’s
potential to challenge and/or perpetuate key global issues and
problems. These analyses consider the SDP work done ‘on the
ground’ and interrogate the historical, social and political
circumstances of these practices. The authors explore how best to
examine, theorize, critique and potentially improve local SDP
initiatives. This book will be of great interest to students and
researchers of both Development Studies and Sport. It was
originally published as a special issue of the online journal Third
World Thematics.
