Sports Sociology By B J Srinivasaraju (2023)

About the Book: Sports Sociology Sports Sociology is an area of sociology that focuses on sport as a social phenomenon and on the social and cultural structures, patterns and organizations or groups engaged in sport. There are many perspectives from which sport can be referred to. Therefore, very often some binary divisions are stressed, such as: professional, amateur, mass-top level active-passive/spectator, men women, sports play (as an antithesis to organized and institutionalized activity). Following feminist or other reflexive and tradition breaking paradigms sports are sometimes studied as contested activities, i.e. as activities in the center of various people/groups interests. The present book entitled Sports Sociology discusses all the aspects of Sports Sociology.
