| Abstract
|
:
|
This innovative text's critical examination foregrounds the prime reason why so many people participate in or watch sport - pleasure. Although there has been a ""turn"" to emotions and affect within academia over the last two decades, it has been somewhat remiss that pleasure, as an integral aspect of human life, has not received greater attention from sociologists of sport, exercise and physical education. This book addresses this issue via an unabashed examination of sport and the moving body via a ""pleasure lens."" It provides new insights about the production of various identities, power.
