Product Description
In times when the social sciences have become increasingly fragmented and more focused on āthe pieces of the puzzleā the puzzle as a topic in its own right has slowly been moved towards the background. Nonetheless as humanity becomes ever more globalized there is a greater need for in-depth discussion on the theory behind the direction of humanity in history and the interrelationships between the different areas in which humans associate including that of leisure and sport. At its heart Norbert Elias and the Analysis of History and Sport explains both the course of history and how the roles that leisure and sport have occupied in it should be investigated. Exploring this from Norbert Eliasā figurational (or process sociological) standpoint the book offers a unique perspective as Van Gestel approaches the theoretical concepts and ideas by systematizing the views of the iconic scholar and offers new insights into his central theory. Furthermore drawing upon theoretical principles that are universal to humans rather than relative to a case study Van Gestel offers an applicable guideline which explains phenomena beyond specific cultures or circumstances that have so far been a customary practice by process sociologists. Norbert Elias and the Analysis of History and Sport is a valuable title which will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars interested in fields such as social studies leisure and sport studies and history. | Norbert Elias and the Analysis of History and Sport Systematizing Figurational Sociology
