Fighting As Real As It Gets: A Micro-Sociological Encounter de Michael Staack

Fighting As Real As It Gets: A Micro-Sociological Encounter: Beiträge zur Praxeologie / Contributions to Praxeology

Autor Michael Staack
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2019
Michael Staack’s multi-year ethnography is the first and only comprehensive social-scientific analysis of the combat sport ‘Mixed Martial Arts’. Based on systematic training observations, the author meticulously analyses how Mixed Martial Arts practitioners conjointly create and immerse themselves into their own world of ultimate bodily combat. 
With his examination of concentrative technique demonstrations, cooperative technique train-ings, and chaotic sparring practices, Staack not only provides a sociological illumination of Mixed Martial Arts culture’s defining theme – the quest of ‘Fighting As Real As It Gets’. Rather further-more, he provides a compelling cultural-sociological case study on practical social constructions of ‘authenticity’.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Michael Staack’s ethnography is the first and only comprehensive social-scientific analysis of the combat sport ‘mixed martial arts’. Based on systematic training observations, the author meticulously analyses how mixed martial arts practitioners conjointly create and immerse themselves in their own world of ultimate hand-to-hand combat. 
Staack not only provides a sociological illumination of the defining theme of the mixed martial arts culture – the quest of ‘fighting as real as it gets’ – but also a compelling cultural-sociological case study on the practical social constructions of ‘authenticity’.
