内容説明
"The Sports Process" uses a historical / developmental approach to explore the development of sport, its international diffusion, and ongoing changes in sport around the world. Thirteen international leaders in the sociology of sport study sport beginning with the ancient world and progressing through the end of the cold war. They examine how sport development is affected by politics, gender roles, nationalism, capitalism, class, race conflict, and economics. Part I, Perspectives on the Making of Modern Sports, emphasises the need to study sports not only in one place and time, but as they change and evolve through time. The contributors contend that to understand any sport as it exists today, one must examine the social processes that transformed it from early forms of play into an organized game. Part I looks at these processes over a broad span of time, from ancient civilizations through the Victorian period. Part II examines the diffusion of modern sport from its beginnings in 18th-century England throughout the rest of the world.
Readers will learn about some of the factors that influenced this diffusion, both outward to other countries and downward within each country from higher to lower social levels. Part III compares sports across modern cultures. The contributors examine how major ideologies of the 20th century - capitalism, socialism, and nationalism - have affected the practice and development of sport in various countries. "The Sports Process" is a valuable reference for scholars and students studying the sociology of sport. The book also includes such special features as suggested research tasks, a guide to further reading, and essay suggestions which make it useful as a supplemental text for classes in sport sociology, sport history, and comparative physical culture.

Part I, Perspectives on the Making of Modern Sports, emphasizes the need to study sports not only in one place and time, but as they change and evolve through time.
