Body Cultures Essays on Sport Space and Identity
 | Name : Body Cultures Essays on Sport Space and Identity File Type : PDF Size : 789 KB |
Body Cultures explores the relationship between the body, sport and landscape. This book presents the first critically edited collection of Henning Eichberg's provocative essays into 'body culture', enquiring into the themes of space and place through considerations of the spatial dimensions of the body, culture and sport in society. Eichberg, a well-known scholar in much of continental Europe who draws upon the diverse ideas of Elias, Foucault and others, is now attracting considerable interest from Anglo-American scholars in the humanities and social sciences. Body Cultures presents the first systematic 'reading' of Eichberg's work to be published in English, enabling readers to access and interpret his innovative ideas on 'body-cultures' for the first time, and suggesting fresh ways to conceptualise the transitions from pre-modernity to modernity and post-modernity.
