The book focuses on major aspects of Norbert Elias's social theory
through research on supposed "minor" topics, such as manners,
sports, leisure and cultural practices. While many of his
publications became essential for scholars in the different
disciplines concerned, the development of the figurational approach
towards these fields was not always completed. The edited volume
picks up some lose ends by including archive manuscripts by Elias
on the genesis of sport, developments of cultural practices, and
the sociology of the body, which are published here for the very
first time. Based on critical reviews of these texts, international
experts show how the new material adds up to Elias's oeuvre and how
it can be fruitfully applied to current research.
