Description
The fifth edition of Making Sense of Sports by Ellis Cashmore delivers a comprehensive multidisciplinary exploration of sports through anthropology, biology, economics, history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology combined with cultural and media studies. This updated and enhanced edition presents an unbroken analytical vision of how sports originated, evolved, and function in contemporary society. New chapters examine exercise culture and the moral dimensions of sports, whilst thoroughly revised content incorporates fresh perspectives on Islam and sports commerce. Cashmore's distinctive approach integrates multiple academic frameworks to examine sports not as isolated phenomena but as interconnected cultural expressions shaped by social, economic, and historical forces. The textbook serves as an essential introduction for students seeking to understand sports beyond traditional single-discipline perspectives, offering critical insight into the complex relationship between athletic activity and modern society.
