Infos

This Handbook adopts an intercultural perspective to present the first systematic analysis of the relationship between culture and sport. The Handbook is structured around an innovative analytical framework comprising the seven key dimensions of the culture-sport nexus, integrating the meanings and structures of sport with the interpretation of culture.With expert perspectives from authors specialising in cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, marketing, management and psychology, this Handbook utilises case studies and practical examples to explore the dynamic relationships between sport and culture. Chapters expand on the cultural production and consumption of traditional and new sports, the singularisation and homogenisation of sport cultures and political recognition of cultural issues and multiculturalism in sport. This Handbook integrates the meanings and structures of sport with the interpretation of culture as an organizing force which enables meaningful interactions between individuals, groups and communities.The Handbook on Sport and Culture is an essential reference for academics and students of sport, sociology and cultural studies, as well as business, management and policy. Policy makers and actors within sporting and cultural institutions will also find the insights presented here invaluable.
