Japan, Sport and Society: Tradition and Change in a Globalizing World: Sport in the Global Society

Editat de Joseph Maguire, Masayoshi Nakayama
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 dec 2005
Evolving for centuries in relative isolation, sport in Japan developed a unique character reflective of Japanese culture and society. In recent decades, Japan's drive towards cultural and economic modernization has consciously incorporated a modernization of its sports cultures. Japan, Sport and Society provides insights into this process, revealing the tensions between continuity and change, tradition and modernity, the local and the global in a culture facing the new economic and political realities of our modern world. The book explores three broad areas of interest:
  • sport and modern society in Japan
  • current issues in social reconstruction and reproduction in sport
  • modernization, globalization and sport in Japan.
Providing unprecedented access to new work from Japanese scholars, and raising key questions of globalization and cultural identity, this text represents a fascinating resource for students and researchers of sport and society.

Recenzii

"Maguire (sociology of sport, Loughborough U., UK) and Nakayama (sport sociology, Shimane U., Japan) bring together ten research articles by Japanese scholars on issues of sport, culture, and Japanese society. The first group of articles discusses innovation in martial arts, the emergence and development of Japanese school sport, and the development of the Japanese baseball professional ideology. Sociological processes of social reconstruction and reproduction is the major theme of papers on sustainable sport and environmental problems, role of voluntary associations in the formation of sport spectatorship, and issues of gender and sport. The final group looks at Japanese sport in the context of modernization and globalization." --Reference & Research Book News
