Book Synopsis Sport and the Physical Emancipation of English Women (RLE Sports Studies) by : Kathleen McCrone
Download or read book Sport and the Physical Emancipation of English Women (RLE Sports Studies) written by Kathleen McCrone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nineteenth century was a golden age in British sports. Not only were sports immensely popular, but they began to assume the forms and qualities that still characterise them today. Moreover, the latter part of the century saw a significant participation in sports by women, and this book provides the first overall examination of this early development and the social changes that it helped to bring about. Since women’s entry into sports was chiefly a consequence of the campaign for better female education, the book begins with an account of sports at the Oxbridge women’s colleges, at the girls' public schools and at the new women’s physical training colleges. It then examines team sports such as hockey, lacrosse, and cricket and individual sports such as tennis, golf and cycling. Other chapters discuss the medical attitudes and prejudices toward women’s participation in sports and the role of sports in changing female dress.

Book Synopsis The Roots of Football Hooliganism (RLE Sports Studies) by : Eric Dunning
Download or read book The Roots of Football Hooliganism (RLE Sports Studies) written by Eric Dunning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This systematic historical and sociological study of the phenomenon of football hooliganism examines the history of crowd disorderliness at association football matches in Britain and assesses both popular and academic explanations of the problem. The authors’ study starts in the 1880s, when professional football first emerged in its modern form, charting the pre and inter-war periods and revealing that England’s World Cup triumph formed a watershed. The changing social composition of football crowds and the changing class structure of British society is discussed and the genesis of modern football hooliganism is explained by tracing it to the cultural conditions and circumstances which reproduce in young working-class males an interest in a publicly expressed aggressive masculine style.

Book Synopsis Sport, Culture and Ideology in the State of Israel [electronic resource] by : Yair Galily
Download or read book Sport, Culture and Ideology in the State of Israel [electronic resource] written by Yair Galily and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booktraces, conceptually and historically, the multifaceted nature of sports in the State of Israel from its early years. It is argued that sports in Israel have to be seen as interdependent within the broader socio-political dimensions. Moreover, it is argued that the development of sport in Israel can only be adequately understood by presenting them in its unique historical context. The processes of state formation, population growth, urbanization, militarization, and, most germane to the present purposes, the development of sport are presented alongside stories of Games (such as the Maccabiah) and (Zionist) Ideology. This book was based on a special issue of Sport in Society.

Book Synopsis Sport, Culture and Advertising by : Steven J. Jackson
Download or read book Sport, Culture and Advertising written by Steven J. Jackson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-11-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the range of theoretical and methological positions adopted and the wide range of issues and topics related to advertising covered by cultural studies, relationships between sport and advertising have been largely overlooked. Given its gobal popularity and its prevalence across the spectrum of cultural and commercial life it is not surprising that scholars interrogating the cultural politics of sport have begun to recognise advertising as an important site for the analysis of power relations, cultural politics and cultural repesentation. Sport, Culture and Advertising presents a first step towards understanding the relationship between advertising and identity with a focus on sport. The book will be useful for scholars across a range of disciplines and will be of interest to students looking for a more critical examination of the commercial realm of sport.
