Beskrivning

Applying a cultural sociology of performance, this book interrogates how the meaning of sport intersects with gender. Broch points out uncertainties in the causal arguments made by key figures in the cultural studies tradition, instead advancing a meaning-centered study of sports as involving both a social and an athletic performance.

“I found it to be a challenging read. … I would encourage anyone with an interest in sport and gender to read this book, challenging as it might be, primarily for the stories about the lives and interactions of the young handball players.” (Alan Bairner, idrottsforum.org, June 18, 2020)
