Sport nasz powszedni
Kibice sportowi i ich emocjonalne zaangażowanie w rywalizację sportową stanowią wdzięczny temat kultury masowej i badań naukowych. Ta książka jednak nie została im poświęcona. Poświęcono ją konsumentom sportu, dla których oglądanie widowisk sportowych jest tylko jednym z wielu sposobów spędzania czasu wolnego w użytecznej formule nigdy niekończącego się serialowego cyklu rozgrywek ligowych, pucharowych, mistrzowskich lub olimpijskich. Jest to książka o obecności sportu w życiu ludzi, którzy najczęściej nie postrzegają siebie jako kibiców, i o klasowym zróżnicowaniu konsumpcji sportowej w Polsce. Jest to także monografia o sporcie profesjonalnym, którego med...
Modelling the City
Modelling the City focuses on European towns and cities, analysing the opportunities and limitations of modelling of urban space. This book examines how urban space from the past is discovered, explained and presented. It discusses the multitude of historical sources mediating the past urban space, and the structural, technical, and epistemological issues raised around building a domain ontology, including continuity, and change within urban forms and functions. Presentation of a formal domain ontology in spatial humanities makes this book unique and worth reading. It is strongly recommended to readers interested in the linked open data approach to research, data standards in Digital Humanities, urban planning, and old maps.
Sport and Polish Society in the Communist Era
Using the history of sport in the small towns and local communities of Poland, this book shines new light on the everyday reality of life under a communist regime in Eastern Europe in the 20th Century. The book shows how socio-cultural history – ‘history from below’ – that draws on rich sources including oral testimony, personal archives, and literary and visual material, can provide the missing piece in our understanding of a significant time and place in the contemporary history of Europe. Focusing on the period between 1945 and 1989, the book shows how sport was an important element of state politics and propaganda but looks closely at the local level – at the spaces and materia...

Sport Clubs in Various European Countries
The current situation in sport reveals a large deficit concerning concepts for future developments and projects. Many traditional values, ethical standards and educational ideals are losing their significance - in particular for the young generation. In contrast, commercial media sport as well as international top sport stand to gain from the changing rating of sport in our society. On the other hand, matters of fitness, health and of general wellness are firmly grounded in the daily routine of the population. The gap in the development of sport is widening. What answers, concepts or problem-solving does a science, which deals with these topics, come up with? These are the guidelines of the "Club of Cologne", which is trying to suggest perspectives by means of active research and subsequent publications, to present models and strategies, and to enrich public discussion by offering approaches or solutions.
