It explores youth sport across the world, in developing and developed countries, and touches on some of the most significant themes and issues in contemporary sport studies, including physical activity aTrade Review"Youth sport is one of the largest, yet relatively understudied, segments of the sport industry.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport Physical Activity and Criminal Justice
Book SynopsisThis book explores the various ways in which participation in sport and physical activity might contribute to effective solutions within criminal justice systems.Focusing on a range of different sporting and physical activities across an array of social contexts involving both adult and youth populations, the book offers insight into the way in which sport and physical activity is interpreted by participants and practitioners, and how these interpretations relate to broader policy objectives within and across justice systems. It focuses on a series of key issues, including how sport policy (national and international) has developed in recent years in this area; how and to what extent such policy developments have impacted organisations and interventions (both custodial and non-custodial) across sport and criminal justice systems and sectors; and how participant cohorts (such as disadvantaged and/or at-risk' young people) have experienced these changes.With shiftTable of ContentsIntroduction: Sport, Physical Activity, and Criminal Justice; Part I: Policy and Strategic Responses; 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport and the Pursuit of War and Peace from the
Book SynopsisThis volume of wide-ranging essays by sport historians and sociologists examines the complex relations of war, peace and sport through a series of case studies from South and North America, Europe, North Africa, Asia and New Zealand.From formal military training in the late nineteenth century to contemporary esports, the relationship between military and sporting cultures has endured across nations in times of conflict and peace. This collection contextualizes debates around the morality and desirability of continuing to play sport against the backdrop of war as others are dying for their nation. It also examines the legacy and memory of particular wars as expressed in a range of sporting practices in the immediate aftermath of conflicts such as the World Wars and wars of independence. At the same time, this book analyses the history of sport and peace by considering how sport can operate as a pacification in some contexts and a tool of reconciliation in others.TogetheTable of ContentsIntroduction: ‘Exploring the War-Peace-Sport Nexus' Part 1: Military and Sporting Cultures 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Return of the Grasshopper
Book SynopsisIn this sequel to Bernard Suits' timeless classic philosophical work The Grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia, published in its full and unabridged form for the first time, Suits continues to explore some of our most fundamental philosophical questions, including the value of sport and games, and their relationship to the good life.In Return of the Grasshopper, Suits puts his theoretical cards on the table, exploring the in-depth implications of his definition of utopia, assessing the merits of a gamified philosophy, and explaining how games can provide an existential balm against the fear of death. Perhaps most importantly, for the first time in print, Suits reveals his underlying worldview: that humanity is forever fated to endure a cyclical existence of privation, brought on by material scarcity, and boredom, resulting from material plenitude. An essential companion to The Grasshopper, this edition includes an introductory chapter that puts Suits' life Trade Review'Return of the Grasshopper is a long-awaited and much anticipated addition to our literature. It bears testimony to Suits’ remarkably fertile mind and his twin philosophic gifts for making bold assertions and raising puzzling questions. In this rich collection, Suits does both in a most provocative way.'Scott Kretchmar, Professor Emeritus, Penn State University, USA'This is the book that followers of the Grasshopper need! Return of the Grasshopper expands on Suits’ thoughts on utopia, death, and the good life in fascinating and tantalizing ways. Additionally, López Frías and Yorke’s introduction offers a clear and engaging background to Suits’ life and works.'Christopher Bartel, Professor of Philosophy, Appalachian State University, USA'A must-read for Suits scholars and anyone who was captivated by his whimsical presentation of ideas about games, language, and utopia in The Grasshopper. Suits’ sequel shows, once again, that analytic philosophy can address important questions--and be a lot of fun.'J.S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fighting Identity
Book SynopsisThis book is an immersive ethnographic account of how fighters at a Polish-owned Muay Thai/kickboxing gym in East London seek to reject prior identity markers in favour of constructing one another as the same, as fighters, a category supposedly free from the negative assumptions and limitations associated with prior ascriptions such as race, class, gender and sexuality.It explores questions of subjectivity and identity by examining how and why fighters sought to disavow identity, which involved casting aside pre-established ways of thinking, feeling and acting about constructed differences to forge deep bonds of carnal convivial friendships. Yet, this book argues that becoming a fighter is highly socially contingent and remains subject to rupture due to the durability of taken-for-granted thinking about race, gender and sexuality, which, if drawn upon, could pull people out of the category of fighter and back into longer-standing durable categories. This book deploys Butler''Trade Review"A tender yet quietly punchy portrait of the precious multiracial convivialities that obtain amid the sweat, blood and tears of a (kick)boxing gym. The bonds of working-class multiculture forged through the mutual vulnerability and trust as cultivated in the gym stand here in firm resolve against the insistent weight of the racisms and nationalisms that otherwise colour our political present. Marrying patiently observed ethnographic detail with a deftly accessible and unburdened prose, Amit Singh reminds us that the anti-racisms of tomorrow are already being incubated in the ostensibly mundane spaces and practices all around us. Fighting Identity is, in other words, a moving witness to the cultural textures common to our cities that help us scope a path out of racism’s wicked diminution of the lives that we might otherwise lead together."Sivamohan Valluvan, Associate Professor of Sociology at The University of Warwick, UK; and author of The Clamour of Nationalism (2019)"What happens when Pierre Bourdieu meets Judith Butler in a kickboxing ring? Sociological sparks fly! Fighting Identity is not just a fascinating field account of the fabrication of fighters and a theoretical rumination on masculine plebeian dreams in black and white. It is also an astute sociological dissection of the making and unmaking of habitus, rooted in a community of suffering bodies that lifts its members above their mundane condition, and a deft demonstration of the carnality of identity."Loïc Wacquant, author of Body and Soul and The Invention of the "Underclass" "For anyone who ever wanted to see inside the sweaty glamour of the fighting gym, this scholarly story-telling will gratify your curiosity and touch your heart. We learn how fighters navigate the intense connections of the gym-space to unsettle racism and homophobia, at least a little, and what it is in the demanding disciplines of fight culture that edges open space to imagine more hopeful relations between us. You may also experience a strange urge to train more - embrace it."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of Sport and Exercise Systems
Book SynopsisTechnological advances over the last two decades have placed genetic research at the forefront of sport and exercise science. It provides potential answers to some of contemporary sport and exercise's defining issues and throws up some of the area's most challenging ethical questions, but to date, it has rested on a fragmented and disparate literature base. The Routledge Handbook of Sport and Exercise Systems Genetics constitutes the most authoritative and comprehensive reference in this critical area of study, consolidating knowledge and providing a framework for interpreting future research findings.Taking an approach which covers single gene variations, through genomics, epigenetics, and proteomics, to environmental and dietary influences on genetic mechanisms, the book is divided into seven sections. It examines state-of-the-art genetic methods, applies its approach to physical activity, exercise endurance, muscle strength, and sports performanceTrade Review"Recommended.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sport and International Politics
Book SynopsisSociology and history of sport is a fast rising subject. There is a growing interest in issues associated with globalization and sport culture across European and North American boundaries. This book fills an important gap. At the forefront of new areas of research in sport studies, it deals with a significant historical period systematically and, above all, internationally. Brought together in a single volume, this work examines the shaping of sport both by the fascist and communist institutions of Europe during the interwar period. It shows how sport was used as an instrument of propaganda and psychological pressure by major political and sporting nations as well as international movements such as the Catholic Church and the International Worker Sport Movement. This volume will be a key reference for researchers and students in sports history, sports sociology, politics and European studies.Table of ContentsIntroduction - Jim Riordan.
