Description

Product Description This edited volume offers an historical perspective on the creation of a global mass industry around skiing. By focusing on the ski resort as loci par excellence for global exchange, the contributors consider the development of skiing around the world during the crucial post-war years. With its global lens, Leisure Cultures and the Making of Modern Ski Resorts highlights both commonalities and differences between countries. Experts across various fields of research cover developments across the ski-able world, from Europe, Asia and America to Australia. Attention to media and material cultures reveals an insight into global fashions, consumption and ski cultures, and the impact of mainstream media in the 1960s and 1970s. This global and interdisciplinary approach will appeal to history, sociology, cultural and media research scholars interested in a cultural history of skiing, as well as those with more broad interests in globalization, consumption research, and knowledge transfer. Review “It is exciting and commendable and should attract follow-ups even in our latitudes, even though human geography studies in Sweden are less than vigorous, at least when it comes to sports related issues. … The anthology inspires further studies in the Swedish context. The development in Åre, Idre and the Sälen alps deserves to be analysed and compared.” (Leif Yttergren, idrottsforum.org, June 8, 2021) “Leisure Cultures and the Making of Modern Ski Resorts … is a compendium of nine heavily researched papers … . Leisure Cultures is a work of fresh and fascinating ski history.” (John Fry, Skiing History, Vol. 31 (3), May-June, 2019) About the Author Philipp Strobl is Researcher and Lecturer at the Institute of Contemporary History at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, and Adjunct Research Fellow within the Faculty of Health, Arts and Design at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia. Aneta Podkalicka is Researcher at the School of Media, Film and Journalism, Monash University, Australia.
