Andrews firmly establishes himself as the leading social theorist of sport in late-capitalist consumer culture. There is no better scholarly guide to the politicized and politicizing nature and influence of contemporary sports on society than Andrews? perceptive words and always-challenging ideas. Theoretically rich and empirically grounded, Making Sport Great Again is both an intellectual and political intervention into the hyper-commodified, commercialized spectacle that is modern corporate uber-sport, a diagnostic analysis of neo-liberal sports cultures of the highest order that deserves to become an instant classic.? ?Ben Carrington, Associate Professor of Sociology and Journalism, University of Southern California, USA ?One of the world?s leading scholars in sport and physical cultural studies, Andrews offers an expertly crafted and potent analysis of the complex relationship between sport and politics, with particular focus on the Trump era. Highly recommended as essential reading for anyone and everyone interested in understanding the intricate webs of power relations that weave sport, politics, culture and the economy together in ways that impact bodies and minds, the world over.? ?Holly Thorpe, Professor of Health, Sport and Human Performance, University of Waikato, New Zealand Blending critical theory, conjunctural cultural studies, and assemblage theory, Making Sport Great Again introduces and develops the concept of uber-sport: the sporting expression of late capitalism?s conjoined corporatizing, commercializing, spectacularizing, and celebritizing forces. On different scales and in varying spaces, the uber-sport assemblage is revealed both to surreptitiously reinscribe the neoliberal preoccupation with consumption and to nurture the individualized consumer subject. Andrews further probes how uber-sport normalizes the ideological orientations and associate affective investments of the Trump assemblage?s authoritarian populism. Even as it articulates the regressive politicization of sport, Making Sport Great Again serves also as a call to action: how might progressives rearticulate uber-sport in emancipatory and actualizing political formations? . 606 $aSports?Sociological aspects 606 $aCulture 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aSocial sciences?Philosophy 606 $aSociology of Sport and Leisure$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22220 606 $aSociology of Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100 606 $aPolitical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170 606 $aSocial Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22140 615 0$aSports?Sociological aspects. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aSocial sciences?Philosophy. 615 14$aSociology of Sport and Leisure. 615 24$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aSocial Theory. 676 $a796.0973 676 $a338.477960973 700 $aAndrews$b David L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$067525 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337730903321 996 $aMaking Sport Great Again$92518930 997 $aUNINA
