In this lively new book, Richard Giulianotti provides a critical sociological interpretation of modern sport. As global festivals such as the Olympic games and football''s World Cup demonstrate, sport''s social, political, economic and cultural significance is becoming increasingly apparent across the world. Its popularity alone means that sociologists cannot ignore sport. Chapter-by-chapter, Giulianotti offers a cogent examination of a range of widely taught sociological theories and issues that relate to sport. These include functionalism, Weberian sociology, Marxism, postmodern sociology, and globalisation. The author''s use of an international range of case studies and research, about a wide variety of sports, helps to make his account especially accessible to undergraduate readers. ''Sport: a critical sociology'' will therefore have strong appeal to upper-level undergraduates on courses such as sport and leisure studies, cultural studies, and modern social theory.

Sport

This book is about the human love of sport. Sport is a lived experience of the integration of mind and body: anyone who has hit a winning serve, a perfect drive, a home run knows that mind and body are completely interwoven at that moment. If a happy life is one that fully expresses our natural faculties, then sports must play an essential role in that life. Philosopher and athlete Colin McGinn describes the athletic experience from the inside, capturing what is uniquely valuable about sport as an activity. Mind-body unity, practical knowledge, peak experiences, success and failure, the ethics of competition, fitness and death - all these are woven into the story of an athletic life. McGinn is able to put our passion for sport into conceptual perspective, showing that sport is a complex and revealing human activity.
