Sport and Violence: Rethinking Elias PDF
Edited by Dominique (Universite Paris Est, France) Bodin, Luc (Universite de Bordeaux, France) Robene
Part of the Sport in the Global Society - Historical Perspectives series
Description
The aim of this book, in discussing Elias’s theory, is not to refute it.
Tendentiously, the theory works with its weaknesses and strong points and it has been enriched by a number of authors over time.
The objective of this volume is to discuss the blind spots and, more simply, what is too often taken for granted: namely the obvious pacifying effect of sports and/or produced by sports.
This analysis has been guided by two perspectives: the sociological one which questions the "naturalization" of sport which is also the naturalization of the "wildlings" which have to be civilized, and the other which comes from philosophical anthropology and attempts to comprehend the long term characteristics of this union – or disunion – of sport and violence.
