As an international cultural activity for athleticism, spectatorship,
and global cultural exchange, sport is unmatched by any other force on earth. And yet it remains a consistently understudied dimension of history and cultural studies.
Sporting, edited by Amy Bass, aims to contribute to the study of sport by publishing works by people across a range of disciplines,
by professional sportswriters, and by athletes to add substance to our still emerging notion of globalization. |
