Sports, Society, and Technology: Bodies, Practices, and Knowledge
Production addresses the complex entanglements of science,
technology, and sporting cultures. The collection explores themes
around human and non-human actants, knowledge formations and
processes, and the materiality and multiplicity of bodies through
an engagement with the interdisciplinary fields of Sport Studies
and Science and Technology Studies. Representing a range of
methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary approaches,
contributors interrogate the social, cultural, political, and
historical intersections of an ever-expanding techno-scientific
sporting landscape - from true bounce and brain trauma to exercise
physiology, metrics, and esports, and from feminist technoscience,
whey protein, and epigenetics to sickle cell screening and
testosterone regulation.

Unlike many Holocaust books, which deal primarily with the
concentration camps, this book focuses on Jewish life before Jews
lost their autonomy and fell totally under Nazi power. These essays
concern various aspects of Jewish daily life and governance, such
as the Judenrat, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, religious life,
housing, death, smuggling, art, and the struggle for survival while
under siege by the Nazi regime. Written by survivors of the ghettos
throughout Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary, this collection
contains historical and cultural articles by prominent scholars, an
essay on Holocaust theatre, and an article on teaching the
Holocaust to students.
