Description
Physical cultural studies (PCS) is a dynamic and rapidly developing field of study.
This handbook offers the first definitive account of the state of the art in PCS, showcasing the latest research and methodological approaches.
It examines the boundaries, preoccupations, theories and politics of PCS, drawing on transdisciplinary expertise from areas as diverse as sport studies, sociology, history, cultural studies, performance studies and anthropology.
Featuring chapters written by world-leading scholars, this handbook examines the most important themes and issues within PCS, exploring the active body through the lens of class, age, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, (dis)ability, medicine, religion, space and culture.
Each chapter provides an overview of the state of knowledge in a particular subject area, while also considering possibilities for developing future research.
Representing a landmark contribution to physical cultural studies and allied fields, the Routledge Handbook of Physical Cultural Studies is an essential text for any undergraduate or postgraduate course on physical culture, sports studies, leisure studies, the sociology of sport, the body, or sport and social theory.
