Sounds of the Pandemic
Sounds of the Pandemic offers one of the first critical analyses of the changes in sonic environments, artistic practice, and listening behaviour caused by the Coronavirus outbreak. This multifaceted collection provides a detailed picture of a wide array of phenomena related to sound and music, including soundscapes, music production, music performance, and mediatisation processes in the context of COVID-19. It represents a first step to understanding how the pandemic and its by-products affected sound domains in terms of experiences and practices, representations, collective imaginaries, and socio-political manipulations. This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners working in the realms of music production and performance, musicology and ethnomusicology, sound studies, and media and cultural studies.
Stadium Worlds
Analyzing football as a cultural practice, this book investigates the connection between the sport and its built environment. Four thematic sections bring together an international multi-disciplinary range of perspectives with particular focus on the stadium.

Texts and case-studies build up this useful book for lecturers and researchers in sociology, cultural studies, geography, architecture, sport and environment.

The 1972 Munich Olympics and the Making of Modern Germany
The 1972 Munich Olympics were intended to showcase the New Germany and replace lingering memories of the Third Reich. In this cultural and political history of the Munich Olympics, the authors set these games into both the context of 1972 and the history of the modern Olympiad.
Sport and Political Ideology
Across the modern political spectrum, left-wing and right-wing political theorists have invested sport with ideological significance. That significance, however, varies distinctively and characteristically with the ideology—a phenomenon John Hoberman terms "ideological differentiation." Taking this phenomenon as its point of departure, this provocative work interprets the major sport ideologies of the twentieth century as distinct expressions of political doctrine. Hoberman argues that a political ideology's interpretation of sport is shaped in part by the value it assigns to work and play as modes of experience; the political anthropologies of right and left can be distinguished by examin...
Sportgroßveranstaltungen
Insofern sich Städte als „Unternehmen“ begreifen (sollen), werden Sportgroßveranstaltungen als „Standortfaktor“ benutzt, so dass die Förderung des Sports und seiner kulturellen Potentiale in den Hintergrund gedrängt werden. Dadurch ist aber die Zustimmung zu den großen Veranstaltungen des Sports nicht mehr ungeteilt. Zusätzlich besteht die Problematik, wie viel sich Städte die von ihnen (mit)ausgerichteten Sportgroßveranstaltungen etwas kosten lassen wollen, bzw. überhaupt noch können. Mit einer interdisziplinären und kritischen Herangehensweise richtet der Band seinen Blick auf die Felder der Verwaltung, der Ökonomie und Politik sowie auf den Sport als kulturelle Praxis. Aus dieser Perspektive zeigt das Buch sport- und wirtschaftspolitische Orientierungen für einen angemessenen und konzeptionellen Umgang mit Sportgroßveranstaltungen auf. Der AutorJürgen Schwark, Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Dipl. Soz.Wiss., lehrt hauptberuflich BWL/Tourismus an der Westfälischen Hochschule, Campus Bocholt und ist Dozent am Institut für Europäische Sportentwicklung und Freizeitforschung der Deutschen Sporthochschule Köln.
