"Women's sports receive a fraction of the airtime allotted for men's sports, as well as a fraction of the marketing dollars, media coverage, training in budget facilities, and much more. As sports journalist Macaela MacKenzie exposes in Money, Power, Respect, misogyny in women's sports runs deep -- but there is hope at the end of the tunnel. MacKenzie takes us into the world of the women athletes who are championing equal pay, equal rights, and equal respect against often-tremendous odds. She overturns depressingly common myths and misconceptions about women's sports, revealing that the real reason they're so often seen as an afterthought is nothing more than sexism"--
Im Teil 2 der Studien werden aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven weitere Facetten der Körper- und Bewegungsbildung innerhalb und außerhalb von Schule thematisiert. Das betrifft den Anspruch, ein Sicher-Schwimmen-Können als Ziel und unverzichtbaren Bestandteil schulischer Grundbildung zu ermöglichen ebenso, wie die Förderung von Mündigkeit, Souveränität der Kinder und Jugendlichen im Kontext von stets gegebener Machtausübung und bildender Widerständigkeit (Resilienz) in Prozessen schulischer Körperbildung und im Nachwuchsleistungssport. Zeitlose Herausforderungen einer berufsbezogenen Lehrer- und Trainerbildung werden an unterschiedlichen Modellvorstellungen zum Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Könnerschaft in verschiedenen Phasen des beruflichen Werdeganges erörtert. Den epiloghaften Abschluss der Studien zur Körper- und Bewegungsbildung bilden Erfahrungswerte und bilanzierende Gedankensplitter, die auf der Grundlage von Texten und Gesprächen mit einem 90-jährigen Schulsportmethodiker zusammengestellt wurden.

This is the first book to critically explore international leisure during the COVID-19 pandemic. It analyses the ways in which the pandemic has impacted upon our leisure practices and our leisure lives, focusing on three key spaces ¿ public, private, and digital.The book seeks to understand how changes in leisure have led to transformations in the ways we have had to 'do' and 'redo' activities, such as incorporating digitalisation and distancing measures, as well as dealing with restrictions on social interaction, gatherings, and cultural activities. It presents a series of case studies covering topics as diverse as music festivals, theatre on-screen, walking, static cycling, smartphone use, holidays, and the 'lockdown leisure' of preschool children, including people across the life course, from young children to older retired people. The book discusses changes in patterns of behaviour, leisure experiences, and leisure environments worldwide and critically re-evaluates what leisure is and what it means in contemporary societies. It illustrates both the significant impact the pandemic has had on leisure and the important role leisure plays in helping support and maintain individual and community well-being.This is fascinating reading for any student, researcher, or practitioner with an interest in leisure studies, tourism, events, sociology, cultural studies, or performance studies.
This book explores the local environmental impact of sports stadiums, and how that impact can disproportionately affect communities of color. Offering global case studies, it argues that sport organizations and other public and private stakeholders have an ethical duty to factor environmental justice into their planning processes.

Punching Up in Stand-Up Comedy explores the new forms, voices and venues of stand-up comedy in different parts of the world and its potential role as a counterhegemonic tool for satire, commentary and expression of identity especially for the disempowered or marginalised.The title brings together essays and perspectives on stand-up and satire from different cultural and political contexts across the world which raise pertinent issues regarding its role in contemporary times, especially with the increased presence of OTT platforms and internet penetration that allows for easy access to this art form. It examines the theoretical understanding of the different aspects of the humour, aesthetics and politics of stand-up comedy, as well as the exploration of race, gender, politics and conflicts, urban culture and LGBTQ+ identities in countries such as Indonesia, Finland, France, Iran, Italy, Morocco, India and the USA. It also asks the question whether, along with contesting and destabilising existing discursive frameworks and identities, a stand-up comic can open up a space for envisaging a new social, cultural and political order?This book will appeal to people interested in performance studies, media, popular culture, digital culture, sociology, digital sociology and anthropology, and English literature.Chapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons (CC-BY) 4.0 license.

Sport and film have historically been key components of national cultures and societies. This is the first collection dedicated to examining the intersection of these popular cultural forces within specific national contexts.Covering films of all types, from Hollywood blockbusters to regional documentaries and newsreels, the book considers how filmic depictions of sport have configured and informed distinctive national cultures, societies and identities. Featuring case studies from 11 national contexts across 6 continents - including North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania - it reveals the common and contrasting approaches that have emerged within sport cinema in differing national contexts.This is fascinating and important reading for all students and researchers working in film, media, cultural studies or sport, and for broader enthusiasts of both sport and film.
This edited book delves into several aspects of sports and sports management from a vantage of uncertainty and turbulence unleashed initially by COVID-19. The book, divided into three broad sections, deals in strategy and governance of sports organizations, use and evolution of technology in sports, and sports consumption and media. It starts from the backdrop of how sport assumed a new-found importance in people's lives while reeling under several phases of pandemic-induced lockdowns. Consumers felt how integral sports was in their lives when there were no live games to watch and bond on. Players, leagues, organizers, and media are still recovering, along with viewers, as sports makes a tentative comeback in our lives. COVID-19 was a precursor of the disruptions to come. Both the supply and demand sides have taken note of those disturbances to prepare themselves for any such potential derailments. The organizations, franchises, athletes, media, health care, logistics on sports have been reworking their strategies to keep coping with uncertainties. On the other hand, the consumers have transformed their sports consumption behavior over these two years, aided by the enormous technological changes.Such a backdrop paved the way for researchers to understand how the sports industry has dealt with this impact and has rediscovered itself to take its coveted spot. This book is a snapshot of several global sports changes and how they continue to evolve in an increasingly turbulent and uncertain world. It will be a rich resource not only for academics studying sports management, but also event management organizations, administrators, and policymakers.

Marking a new direction for disability sport scholarship, this book explores cutting-edge issues and engages creatively with contemporary approaches to research in this important emerging discipline.Featuring contributions from leading and up-and-coming scholars around the world, the book's wide-ranging chapters offer novel perspectives on the relationship between theory, method, and empiricism in disability sport research and highlight how researchers can be both innovative and informed when entering the field. It also explores methodological considerations when conducting disability sport research, including social, cultural, and political reflections of the research process from disabled and non-disabled academics. This much-needed resource supports disability sport scholars in developing a conceptual grounding in the subject and establishes a space for intersectional accounts of sport and physical activity which challenge homogenous understandings of disability.This book is essential reading for any student or researcher working in disability sport, adapted physical activity, or adapted physical education, and a valuable reference for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport, disability studies, cultural studies, the body, or research methodology.
This provocative and challenging book argues for the vital importance of critical self-reflexion in the field of adaptive physical activity (APA).
This book examines and establishes the sociological relevance of the concept of populism and illuminates the ideological use of sport, leisure, and popular culture in socio-political populist strategies and dynamics. The first part of the book - Themes, Concepts, Theories - sets the scene by reviewing and evaluating populist themes, concepts, and theories and exploring their cultural-historical roots in and application to cultural forms such as mega-sports events, reality television programmes, and the popular music festival. The second part - National Contexts and Settings - examines populist elements of events and regimes in selected cases in South America and Europe: Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Italy, and England. In the third part - Trump Times - the place of sport in the populist ideology and practices of US president Donald Trump is critically examined in analyses of Trump's authoritarian populism, his Twitter discourse, Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl, and populist strategy on the international stage. The book concludes with a discussion of the strong case for a fuller sociological engagement with the populist dimensions of sport, leisure, and popular cultural forms. Written in a clear and accessible style, this volume will be of interest to sociologists and social scientists beyond those specialising in popular culture and cultural politics of sport and leisure, as the topic of populism and its connection to popular cultural forms and practices has come increasingly into prominence in the contemporary world.

Die Einführung gibt einen Überblick über Inhalte und Methoden, holt den Leser mit seinen Vorverständnissen über Philosophie und Sport ab und eröffnet den Horizont für Themen, Fragen, Problemstellungen und Lösungsansätze einer Sportphilosophie.Der zweite Teil des Buches beschäftigt sich mit der Phänomenologie als einer der grundlegenden Strömungen der Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er zeichnet Anliegen und Entwicklung der Phänomenologie anhand einiger ihrer Hauptvertreter nach und arbeitet mit ¿Phänomenologien der Leiblichkeit¿ ein zeitgemäßes Verständnis von Körper respektive Leib heraus.Im dritten Teil geht es um eine ¿Phänomenologie des heutigen Sports¿. Sport ist längst eine feste gesellschaftliche Größe und ein florierender wirtschaftlicher Bereich geworden. Das Buch analysiert die Verbindung des Sports zu Geld, Macht, Politik, Medien, Doping und die Rolle, die er hinsichtlich Körperkult, Spiel, Gesundheit, Bildung usw. spielt. Der Autor geht den Fragen nach, wie sich die Phänomene genauer darstellen, was sie ¿eigentlich¿ zum Vorschein bringen, und ob der Sport tatsächlich einem Umgang mit dem Körper respektive dem Leib entspricht, wie er im philosophischen Verständnis der Leiblichkeit dargelegt wurde.
Der Sammelband hat zum Ziel, die vielfältigen Verflechtungen zwischen Landschaft und Tourismus aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln zu beleuchten und zu reflektieren. Er stützt sich auf ein Verständnis von Landschaft als eine individuelle Konstruktion auf Grundlage erlernter gesellschaftlicher Deutungs- und Bewertungsmuster, auf Basis derer eine synthetische Zusammenschau materieller Objekte erfolgt. Alle drei Dimensionen sind veränderlich (die materielle, die individuelle und die gesellschaftliche) und über das Individuum miteinander verbunden. Die Gestaltung und Veränderung von Landschaften ist gebunden an Aushandlungsprozesse. Dabei ist wichtig, dass Landschaft nicht normativ im Sinne einer bestimmten Landschaft verstanden wird, sondern dass ein Nebeneinander von unterschiedlichen landschaftsbezogenen Konstruktionen (etwa infolge unterschiedlicher Interessen, kultureller Gebundenheiten, heimatlicher Bezugnahmen) und Repräsentationen zu Grunde gelegt wird. Schließlich beschränkt sich das Landschaftsverständnis nicht im Sinne eines ¿engen¿ Verständnisses auf klassische natur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Deutungen von materiellen Räumen, sondern folgt dem ¿weiten¿ Landschaftsverständnis, dass z.B. auch städtische Räume oder (Alt)Industrieareale unter dem Konstruktionsmodus ¿Landschaft¿ gefasst werden können.Übertragen auf den Bereich des Tourismus können verschiedene touristische Destinationen und andere touristifizierte Räume als Landschaften bezeichnet werden (z.B. die Toskana, ein hippes Stadtquartier in Barcelona, ein idyllischer Strand auf einer Insel der Karibik, ein einsamer Hiking-Trail im Hochgebirge, altindustrielle Areale und ihre Umgebungen im Ruhrgebiet oder das Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando).
