Football and the Boundaries of History
The essays in this volume use football to create a dialogue between history and other disciplines, including art criticism, philosophy, and political science. The study of football provides fertile ground for interdisciplinary initiatives and this volume explores the disciplinary boundaries that are shifting “beneath our feet.” Traditional disciplines in the humanities and social sciences have come to embrace diverse research methodologies and the increased scholarly attention to football over the past decade reflects both the startling popularity of the sport and the trends in historical scholarship that have been termed the “cultural,” “interpretive,” or “linguistic” turns. This volume includes work on gender, sexuality, and ethnicity, which have challenged disciplinary fault-lines.
Futbolera
Latin American athletes have achieved iconic status in global popular culture, but what do we know about the communities of women in sport? Futbolera is the first monograph on women’s sports in Latin America. Because sports evoke such passion, they are fertile ground for understanding the formation of social classes, national and racial identities, sexuality, and gender roles. Futbolera tells the stories of women athletes and fans as they navigated the pressures and possibilities within organized sports. Futbolera charts the rise of physical education programs for girls, often driven by ideas of eugenics and proper motherhood, that laid the groundwork for women’s sports clubs, which bega...
Soccer in Brazil
No other national stereotype in the world is so closely tied with a sport, as Brazil is with football. The five-time world champions have constructed their national identity around this sport. Perhaps for this reason it’s no wonder that there are many Brazilian social scientists doing research on this theme. The first part of this volume is dedicated to the history of Brazilian football. The main question is how did football become so popular in the country? It also looks at other interesting historical developments in Brazilian football history up to this day. The second part considers current phenomena, especially the place of Brazilian football in a globalized world: What are the conseq...
Security and Sport Mega Events
This edition stresses some critical reflectons regarding security policies before and during Sport Events in our contemporary era of generalized insecurity. Sport competitions at the national, European and global levels have evolved in terms of economic investment, social importance and media coverage. However, this evolution has brought with it major political concerns. At the same time, the dominant question regarding the organization of competitions in our post-modern, neoliberal risk societies is the creation of a safe and secure milieu; the need of construction of an environment of life where sport events and the multiple activities and interests related to them can be kept safe from an...
Routledge Handbook of Football Studies
Football is unquestionably the world’s most popular and influential sport. There is no corner of the globe in which the game is not played or followed. More countries are affiliated to FIFA, football’s governing body, than to the United Nations. The sport has therefore become an important component of our social, cultural, political and economic life. The Routledge Handbook of Football Studies is a landmark work of reference, going further than any other book in considering the historical and contemporary significance of football around the world. Written by a team of leading sport scholars, the book covers a broad range of disciplines from history, sociology, politics and business, to p...
Todo Esse Lance que Rola
Todo esse lance que rola é a história de dois jovens, em seu primeiro dia de namoro, que são transportados para uma viagem fantástica pelo universo do futebol e apresentados tanto à história quanto à dinâmica do jogo por personagens que são antropomorfizações da bola e do pé. Passando por um cartola e até um gandula, a narrativa revela que o amor que está nascendo entre os dois também é alimentado pelo amor que ambos sentem pelo jogo. O relançamento pela editora Oficina Raquel (Rio de Janeiro) desse romance infanto-juvenil, que propõe uma viagem pelo interior do futebol, coincide com a realização no País da Copa do Mundo. Lançado em 1994, o livro foi atualizado para mostrar também as muitas mudanças que o futebol vem passando nos últimos 20 anos: tecnologias, redes sociais, novos craques e muito mais dinheiro.
A violência no futebol
É difícil imaginar o Brasil sem futebol. Da mesma maneira, infelizmente é difícil pensar no futebol sem a violência entre os torcedores, dentro e ¿ mais ainda ¿ fora dos estádios. Para além dos fenômenos ligados ao esporte, a violência é uma expressão da sociedade brasileira, de seus problemas e desafios, e a superação dela faz parte da grande missão de educação e desenvolvimento do país.Baseando-se em estatísticas e reflexões, o sociólogo Mauricio Murad, um dos maiores especialistas brasileiros no tema, revela que o aumento do número de mortes de torcedores antes, durante e depois das partidas de futebol está diretamente ligado ao envolvimento de grupos integrantes d...
Globalised Football
When studying the social phenomena in and around football, five major aspects of globalisation processes become evident: international migration, the global flow of capital, the syncretistic nature of tradition and modernity in contemporary culture, new experiences of time and space and the revolution in information technologies. In an exploration of these themes the collection provides insight into academic studies of football in Portugal, Germany, England, Spain, Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, China, Japan, South Korea, Russia and the USA. At examining football-related phenomena under the headings of nations and migration, myths and business, the city and the dream, it shows how modernised fo...
Sociologia e educação física: diálogos, linguagens do corpo, esportes
Em sua segunda edição, este livro tem por objetivo discutir algumas interações possíveis, prováveis e necessárias entre estas duas áreas do saber humano, a sociologia e a educação física, de uma forma que pretendemos que seja mais direta, mais simples, didática mesmo. A população-alvo que se deseja alcançar, preferencialmente, é aquela formada por estudantes de graduação e de pós-graduação, desses dois campos de conhecimento. Preferencialmente porque queremos atingir também outros campos afins, próximos das duas matrizes. Escrito por um sociólogo que atua na área dos esportes há mais de 30 anos, as ideias e contribuições contidas na obra partem principalmente da sociologia para a educação física. O livro traz "um apanhado completo das principais obras que se preocuparam em revelar os meandros que ligam cultura e atividade esportiva".
