Sport And The Social Significance Of Pleasure
Hardback Edition: 1
Taking a wide-sweeping view of pleasure - dignified and debauched, distinguished and mundane it examines topics as diverse as aging, health, fandom, running, extreme sports, biopolitics, consumerism, feminism, sex and sexuality. In drawing from diverse theoretical approaches and original empirical research, the text reveals the social and political significance of pleasure and provides a more rounded, dynamic and sensual account of sport.
