Description

Sports, Society, and Technology: Bodies, Practices, and Knowledge Production addresses the complex entanglements of science, technology, and sporting cultures. The collection explores themes around human and non-human actants, knowledge formations and processes, and the materiality and multiplicity of bodies through an engagement with the interdisciplinary fields of Sport Studies and Science and Technology Studies. Representing a range of methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary approaches, contributors interrogate the social, cultural, political, and historical intersections of an ever-expanding techno-scientific sporting landscape – from true bounce and brain trauma to exercise physiology, metrics, and esports, and from feminist technoscience, whey protein, and epigenetics to sickle cell screening and testosterone regulation. Review “In this wonderfully curated collection, editors Jennifer Sterling and Mary McDonald make evident the value of science and technology studies (STS) for enriching our understanding of contemporary sporting cultures. They also show the value of sport for illuminating the complex effects of an increasingly technologized society. Provocative content and compelling methodological insights will surely help push both fields in new directions.” (Mary Louise Adams, Professor, Socio-Cultural Studies of Sport, Health and the Body, School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, Queen’s University, Canada) From the Back Cover Sports, Society, and Technology: Bodies, Practices, and Knowledge Production addresses the complex entanglements of science, technology, and sporting cultures.
