Gendoping
Wie ein Phantom geistert "Gendoping" seit Jahren durch die Debatten zur Zukunft des Leistungssports. Häufig gipfeln entsprechende Phantasien und Visionen im Bild von dauerhaft in ihrer genetischen Ausstattung manipulierten Superathleten. Doch die zu erwartenden Anwendungsszenarien werden viel unspektakulärer, zugleich aber wahrscheinlicher und näherliegend sein. Man wird schon bald mit einer Nutzung neuer Substanzen sowie gen- und zelltherapeutischer Verfahren zur gezielten Manipulation der Genaktivität rechnen müssen. Ihr Einsatz verspricht eine hocheffiziente Leistungssteigerung und wird sich, wenn überhaupt, nur schwer nachweisen lassen. Dieser Band beantwortet umfassend die Schlüsselfragen der weiteren Entwicklung: Welcher wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse könnte sich ein mögliches Gendoping bedienen, wo werden Einfallstore im Spitzen- und Breitensport sein, und wie kann mithilfe von Verbots- und Kontrollstrukturen darauf reagiert werden? Gefragt wird auch danach, welche individuellen Verhaltensmuster von Athleten und welche gesellschaftlichen Kontexte eine Rolle bei der zu erwartenden Karriere von Gendoping spielen werden.
Ethnosport
The study known as 'Ethnosport' describes the cultural diversity, identity, and folk traditions in sports, with special reference to Eastern cultures. A rich world - of games, competitions, rituals, and festivities - opens when examining Russia as well as the minority peoples' cultures of Siberia, Central Asia, and East Asia. This book encourages research in similar, living, folk-sport traditions in further regions of the world. It contributes to the understanding of bodily democracy as people's self-determination in bodily practice. (Series: Sport: Culture, Change / Sport: Kultur, Ver�¤nderung - Vol. 29) [Subject: Sports, Cultural Studies, Ethnic Studies, Asian Studies]
Time, Duration and Change
This book studies various perspectives in the history of European philosophy on the relationship between time and movement. Ever since the pre-Socratic thinker Zeno of Elea linked time and space to understand bodily movement, his so-called paradoxes of motion have remained unsolved. One of his most important critics, the French philosopher Henri Bergson, criticized the usual connection between time and space and established a new way of understanding time as duration (durée). Whereas Zeno presented an objectivist understanding of time, Bergson emphasized its subjectivist meaning. Both contradictory positions seem incompatible, referring to pure intellect (Zeno) on the one hand or pure sensa...
Performance and the Politics of Space
This collection asks what's at stake when a theatrical space is created and when a performance takes place: under what circumstances the topology of theatre becomes political. It visits a politics of inclusion and exclusion, of distributions and placements, and of spatial appropriation and utopian concepts in theatre history and contemporary performance.
The Adventures of Transcendental Philosophy
Karl-Otto Apel is one of the most important German philosophers of the 20th century, and is finally coming to be recognized as such. However, his work is still poorly understood and inadequately treated throughout most of the world. In The Adventures of Transcendental Philosophy, critical theory scholar Eduardo Mendieta examines the philosophical origins of discourse ethics through the prism of Apel's thought. Mendieta finds that Apel fundamentally transformed German philosophy, which had become stagnant in the years before World War II, and deeply influenced later thinkers such as J rgen Habermas. Apel's turn toward pragmatism and analytic philosophy helped him bring the concept of a linguistic paradigm shift to Germany.
Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is a broad concept: ethics, fairness, honor and self-control. Some people find it difficult to define what makes a "good sport," but state "I know one when I see one." This collection of new essays brings together the work of more than two dozen contributors from around the world who teach sportsmanship in a range of academic disciplines including sociology, psychology, economics, education, kinesiology and applied athletics. Topics include the moral ambiguities of cheating; recreation in prison; ethics and character formation; coaching perspectives; gender; race; and the portrayal of sportsmanship in film. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

The Erosion of the American Sporting Ethos
"This volume provides an analysis of the nature of competition in contemporary American sport. This work traces American sport from American culture to the influence of the 1960s counterculture and the resulting rise of a post-Cold War ethos that continues to reinterpret competitiveness as a relic of a misbegotten past and anathema to American life"--Provided by publisher.

Grundlagen der Sportphilosophie
Diese Grundlagen der Sportphilosophie sind, auch wörtlich, durch Antonio Gramsci und Paolo Freire gerahmt, denn letztlich kommt es der Philosophie, und gerade auch der Sportphilosophie, bekanntlich darauf an, die Welt mit emanzipatorischem Anliegen zu verändern. Innerhalb dieses Rahmens ist davon freilich nur indirekt die Rede. Direktes Thema ist die Frage, was das Sportphilosophische an sportphilosophischen Ansätzen ausmacht und was diese etwa von sportsoziologischen oder sportmotorischen Analysen unterscheidet. Der Vorschlag lautet, dass jede bestimmte wissenschaftliche Erfahrung auf kategorialen Gehalten (»Grundannahmen«) beruht, die diese Erfahrung ermöglicht haben. Diese können ihrerseits, wenn auch in anderer Weise, in Erfahrung gebracht und von einer Sportphilosophie als reflexiver Sportwissenschaft artikuliert werden. Dieser Vorschlag wird an den Standardthemen der Sportphilosophie: Körper, Bewegung, Normativität konkretisiert.
