Synopsis

The focal point of this volume, which presents the outcomes of the XIth International Congress of the European Committee for Sports History (CESH) held in Vienna, Austria in autumn 2006, makes it clear that sport and sport events may no longer be viewed as being at the fringe of society. Sport - practiced actively or consumed passively - forms an essential aspect of human culture and is a distinguished factor in the formation, preservation, or variation of individual or collective identities. Within a multitude of different contributions from distinct regions and epochs, the interdependency of sport and culture is derived theoretically and illustrated practically. For that reason, this book addresses not only sport scientists and sport historians, but also sociologists, ethnologists, historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, and all other persons interested in the sciences of culture, arts, politics, literature, religion, and gender.
