The book focuses on the distinctive contribution that Joseph Maguire has made to process sociology and the study of sport. Maguire's work over the past three decades highlights how process sociology has a unique perspective on the relationship between sport, culture and society, and to the body, globalisation and civilisational analysis.
Reflecting on this body of work and the use of process sociology, Maguire captures the research dynamic of 'walking the line' between involvement and detachment, theory and observation, and engagement and critique. The book is structured around four broad sections: Theory, Sport and Society; The Meaning of Sport, Body and Society; Case Studies in Sport and Process Sociology; Globalisation, Sport and Civilisational Analysis.
Providing an introduction to, and key examples of, a process sociology approach to the study of sport, the body, civilising processes and globalisation, this book will appeal to undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in sport studies / sports science degrees, sociology, cultural studies and to those studying migration, globalisation and cross cultural civilisation relations.
This book was previously published as a Special Issue of Sport in Society.
Joseph Maguire completed his PhD in Sociology at the University of Leicester and is a past President of the International Sociology of Sport Association and RC 27 of the International Sociology Association.
