SUMMARY

The cultural ubiquity, political prominence and economic significance of contemporary sport in global capitalist society present fertile terrain for its critical socio-cultural analysis. Whether it's the corporate and media dominated mega-events like the Olympics, state programmes for nation-building, or the politics of 'race', gender and sexuality, sport is so profoundly marked by relations of power, that it lends itself to critique and deconstruction. Foremost in this scholarship are Marxist and Cultural Studies approaches. Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport aims to contribute to the critical analysis of sport in society by joining together Marxist and Cultural Studies approaches in one volume, so as to reveal the underlying structures of power present in contemporary sporting cultures. With contributions from: David L. Andrews, Alan Bairner, Rob Beamish, Anouk Bylanger, CL Cole, Ross Dawson, Grant Farred, Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe, Toby Miller, Garry Whannel, Brett St. Louis.Carrington, Ben is the author of 'Marxism, Cultural Studies and Sport ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415375412 and ISBN 041537541X.
