Description

Explore the deep connection between athletic narratives and cinematic storytelling with Sport in Films (Sport in the Global Society). While sport provides the essential elements of great storytelling-including heroes, villains, triumph, and drama-the academic study of how these themes are represented in film has often been overlooked. This Routledge collection addresses that gap by providing a critical study of film and its ties to the sporting world. This book serves as a vital resource for students and researchers interested in how motion pictures represent athletes and sporting events. By examining the constructions and representations of sport within documentaries and feature films, this work brings much-needed analysis to a subject that has been marginalized in traditional film studies. It is an essential addition to any academic library focused on film, video art, or the sociology of sport.
