New Directions in Sport History

New Directions in Sport History

Emerging from the ‘history from below’ movement sport history was marginalised for decades by those working within more traditional historical fields (and institutions). Although a degree of ignorance still exists sport history has now acquired a level of credibility through the dedicated work of professional historians. And yet as this authority has been established changes to UK higher education funding (the removal of direct state funding the Research Excellence Framework and tuition fees) and academic publishing (open access) have the potential to damage or even end sports research. This book examines sport history from a variety of perspectives. Do mainstream historians need to engage or ‘play’ with sports historians? Has the postmodernist ‘cultural turn’ in sports history been helpful to the sub-discipline? How can the teaching of sports studies be more innovative and inspiring? How can oral history and sport history be utilised in the study of other branches of historical interest. Although changes are required in dealing with the current political reality of UK higher education sport history still has a great deal to offer students future employers and the public alike. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport. | New Directions in Sport History

The New Civil Rights Research A Constitutive Approach

The New Civil Rights Research A Constitutive Approach

First published in 2006 this book brings together some of the most innovative and important research on civil rights law and legality this book draws on narratives of individuals from a variety of contexts to provide a rich and contextualized understanding of what happens when law interacts with other competing systems or forms of social organization. By privileging the real world experiences of those most influenced by rights the collection moves beyond the traditional polarizing debates and presents a constitutive approach to rights that is not reducible to a simple 'for or against' rights formula. While this complex consciousness approach often contributes to the reproduction of dominant-subordinate social relations it also allows for spaces of resisting existing hierarchical structures embedded in various law-related sites. | The New Civil Rights Research A Constitutive Approach

Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? shocked audiences and critics alike with its assault on decorum. At base though the play is simply a love story: an examination of a long-wedded life filled with the hopes dreams disappointments and pain that accompany the passing of many years together. While the ethos of the play is tragicomic it is the anachronistic melodramatic secret object—the nonexistent son—that upends the audience’s sense of theatrical normalcy. The mean and vulgar bile spewed among the characters hides these elements making it feel like something entirely new. As Michael Y. Bennett reveals the play is the same emperor just wearing new clothes. In short it is straight out of the grand tradition of living room drama: Ibsen Chekhov Glaspell Hellmann O’Neill Wilder Miller Williams and Albee. | Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
