Description

How do Olympic legacies come about? This book by Routledge provides an alternative approach to the study of Olympic and mega-sport event legacy. It challenges traditional ways that legacy is conceptualized and practiced in the sports world. Instead of viewing legacy as a retrospective concept focused on what is left behind after the Games conclude, this text shifts the focus to a prospective view. It examines the actions and interactions stimulated by the Games themselves. The book argues that creating an Olympic legacy is a continuing four-stage process. This process includes investing accumulated common Olympic cultural capital and interpelling to form a trusteeship relationship. This academic work is part of the Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society series. It is an essential resource for those looking to understand the evolving dynamics of how major sporting events impact society through a new theoretical lens.
