Beskrivning

This book is both research report and performance piece. Here is a team of researchers as they study communication on the volleyball court. And here are the voices and actions of the volleyball coach and his players as they practise and play. Research in process and research findings are represented in a play script which brings vividly to life both ethnographic research methods and communication in the world of sport. This highly original book adds innovation and imagination to the representation of language in social life.

Recensioner i media

Through this amazing and engaging feat of verbal ballet, Blackledge and Creese don’t just help readers understand the complex, multisemiotic play of social interaction — they make them feel it. This play will change the way you think about reporting research findings. It will also change the way you watch or participate in sports, or any other embodied collective undertaking.
