Playing on the Periphery
Sport, Identity and Memory
Playing on the Periphery is an innovative exploration along the edges of the modern sports experience. Using diverse and provocative case studies and probing a range of problems and issues, it examines how the cultural content of sports that were once the epitome of Englishness – football, cricket and rugby – is reinterpreted by the distant cultures of a former Empire, and fragmented by the new media and economics of the modern world.
From a unique perspective and with a distinctive voice, Tara Brabazon considers sport’s relationship with tourism, colonialism and popular culture. She shows how – through photographs and film, stadia, shops and exhibition spaces – sport can acquire multiple and diverse meanings. Though it may appear peripheral, sport is a central force for memory, emotion and identity..
For all those interested in sport, media and popular culture, this is a stimulating new text.
