State formation, diplomacy and sport
This paper considers the interconnected practices of state formation, diplomacy, national identity and sport through an examination of ‘Irish’ involvement in the British Empire Games of 1930, 1934 and 1938. These events had a contradictory role in bolstering diplomatic relations between those who were committed to the empire but also in expressing the aspirations of those who sought independence from it, or a distinct identity within it. State fo…
The ‘Great Game’ and Sport
This paper draws on original rigorous research conducted in an extensive range of local, national and international state archives, sporting repositories and personal papers. In focus is the 1948 London Olympic Games, the Olympic movement and a ‘new’ phase in Irish–British relations involving international sport. Here, for the first time, we elucidate the role of non-state sportive diplomats who, acting as cultural intermediaries, were involved i…
Sociology of Sport
Sociologists examine the function and meaning of sport in the lives of people and the societies they form, and explain the emergence and diffusion of sport over time and across different societies. In doing so, they identify the processes of socialization into, through, and out of modern sport and investigate the values and norms of dominant, emergent, and residual cultures and subcultures in sport. They also explore how the exercise of power and…
Globalization, Sport and
The emergence and globalization of modern sport was bound up in a network of interdependency chains that were and are marked by uneven power relations. The diffusion of modern sport out of its European heartland was closely connected to the formal and informal spheres of influence of the British Empire and to an intensified global spurt that occurred in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its standardization, organizational develop…
Sportization
The sportization process involved a shift toward the competitive, regularized, rationalized, and gendered bodily exertions of achievement sport that, in turn, connected to wider changes at the level of personality, body deportment, and social interaction. This process entailed regulating violence, developing formalized sets of rules and governing bodies, and shifting body habitus. Despite the existence of European rivals in the form of German and…
Sport, Empire, and Diplomacy
International sport, as Geoffrey Pigman has correctly observed, emerged “as a quintessential case study demonstrating the part that public diplomacy plays in contemporary diplomacy.” The British Empire Games/Commonwealth Games [BEG/CG] are one such example, being the second largest multi-national multi-sport event today. Their origins lie in the interwar era when members of sporting organisations, many of whom were active in other formal aspects …
The Day the Flame Came to Town’
Debates regarding the Olympic Flame Relay oscillate between questions concerning the symbolic value of the Relay and the commodified nature of the Games more generally. While some argue for the potential intercultural understanding that the Flame Relay fosters, others point to the extent to which Olympism is embedded within the practices of commercial companies. Research thus tends to use either ethnographic accounts or media analysis—the former …
Assessing the sociology of sport
On the 50th anniversary of the ISSA and IRSS, a key foundational scholar on the increasing globalization of sport, Joseph Maguire, considers larger questions about the diffusion of sport in light of the tendencies of globalization. The essay considers the 'current state of play' about the 'known dimensions' of the globalization of sport, commenting on how British and European influences on standards and conventions gave way to North American (in …
Established – outsider relations in youth football tournaments
This article examines Scandinavian constructions and readings of potential football migrants from the African continent by providing an investigation of the dynamics and narratives surrounding African football teams’ participation in three youth football tournaments. Drawing on Elias and Scotson’s (1965/1994) theory of established-outsider relations, we explore the transnational power relations and processes of inclusion and exclusion in group re…
Road to Reunification? Unitary Korean Nationalism in South Korean Media Coverage of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games
This article examines South Korean media coverage of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and concerns the discourse around the unification of North and South Korea, with the emergence of a unitary nationalism as the main theme during this period. Unitary Korean nationalism was becoming a dominant form of discourse on inter-Korean relations and was evident in the South Korean media coverage of the Olympics. Despite this, there exists a gap between sport…
Power and global sport
This paper examines the current state of play in global sport - examining the rifts and tensions and the elements of cohesion and co-operation evident. This assessment is conducted through the lens of a process sociological perspective. In addition, the key elements of this approach to globalization, civilising processes, international relations and global sport are mapped out. Questions of power, established - outsider relations and global civil…
Welcome to the pleasure dome
In this paper, a version of which was written in the early 1990s, I linked a discussion of the embodied emotions, leisure and society with a consideration of the issue of pleasure. In doing so I provided a critical evaluation of how leisure, pleasure and the emotions are intertwined in late modern/postmodern societies. At the time of writing the study of the interconnections between the emotions, leisure and society has been relatively neglected.…
Invictusor evict-us? Media images of South Africa through the lens of the Fifa World Cup
When looking at the bidding for and staging of mega-events in general, and for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in particular, a polarized debate concerning the possibilities and limitations involved therein ensues. Those who see positive benefits speak in either evangelical language, or marketing terms, regarding the power of sport to rebrand the country, regenerate economies, engender positive social capital, unite a nation or continent, and present a p…
Globalization and Sport
Global Festivals Through a National Prism
This study investigates the global-national nexus in the media representation of the Olympic Games and examines the ways in which the notions of globalization and Korean nationalism are represented. Attention is paid to the South Korean media coverage of opening and closing ceremonies of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. While globalization was promoted through themes such as global friendship and fraternity, the media also framed the event with ref…
Olympic Legacies in the IOC's ‘Celebrate Humanity’ Campaign
The Olympics is a global event that acts as a carrier of cultural meanings that are available to international audiences and markets. Though the heritage of the Olympics is claimed to be derived from the ancient world, in fact the contemporary legacy is very modern. Indeed, such meanings, and the legacy thereby attached, are re-represented, distributed, and marketed by a media-sport complex predicated less on the concept of arete and much more on…
Thinking Outside of the Box
The global migrations of athletic workers have increased dramatically in magnitude, composition, and direction in recent years. Studies examining these migrations have, however, remained limited to specific areas and have restricted their vision to those workers employed in the athletic sector. Few studies have drawn on concepts derived from research tracing the migrations of workers in other areas: the highly skilled for example. This paper show…
Olympism and Consumption
Drawing on work located within critical political economy and process sociology, this article uses content analysis to examine the types, frequency, and content of Olympic related advertising in the British press and television during the 2004 Athens Olympics. We assessed the degree to which The Olympic Partner (TOP) sponsors incorporated themes derived from Olympism and the Celebrate Humanity program, as well as from consumer culture more broadl…
Celebrate humanity' or 'consumers
The Olympics is a global event that acts as a carrier of cultural meanings and identities that are available to international audiences and markets. Our wider project examining the Athens Olympic Games seeks to investigate how such meanings are re-represented, distributed, and marketed by the media-sport complex. Here, we investigate how the initial formulation, development and use of the ‘Celebrate Humanity’ programme was framed by the IOC marke…
Getting Caught in the Net
This article is a study of global athletic labor migration that examines the mechanisms through which some athletic migrant workers are recruited. The article adopts a critical case study which analyses the movement of Canadian workers into Britain's Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) and synthesizes concepts derived from the sociology of sport and the sociology of highly skilled migration to explain these movements. Using a theoretical framework bas…
Globalization, Sport and
Modern sport is bound up in a global network of interdependency chains that are marked by uneven power relations. Consider the consumption of sports events and leisure clothing. People across the globe regularly view satellite broadcasts of English Premier League and European Champions League matches. In these games the best players drawn from Europe, South America, and Africa perform. The players use equipment – boots, balls, clothing, etc. – th…

Imagining 'America
This article concerns the role of mediated sport in local reconfigurations associated with globalization. The increasing worldwide transmission of sport raises questions regarding the cultural presence of 'global' sports. We combine elements of figurational sociology, cultural studies and critical political economy to examine the production and textual presence of the North American National Basketball Association (NBA) on United Kingdom televisi…
National Identity, Rugby Union and Notions of Ireland and the ‘Irish’
This paper seeks to examine issues of identity and national habitus from an Eliasian perspective. In doing so, it casts critically light on the making of Irish identity in the post-Second World War period. Specific reference is given to one case study, namely the sport of rugby union. This sport does appear to have been significantly connected to the national habitus of Ireland during the post-war period (especially since the 1960s) and creates a…
Globetrotters and Local Heroes? Labor Migration, Basketball, and Local Identities
This article addresses the global migration of sports labor. The contested presence of North American players in English basketball, first documented by Maguire (1988), is considered in the context of questions regarding the reception of migrants in local cultures. A 2-year ethnographic project incorporating participant observations, interviews, and focus groups investigated fans' consumption of local basketball. Complex and nuanced interpretatio…
No-Body’s Perfect”
This paper seeks to synthesize aspects of feminism and figurational (process) sociology. Women’s bodies are viewed as sites for studying interrelationships between power, gender, and identity construction. The behavioral and emotional rituals of women in a specific aerobics class are mapped out and located within the “exercise–body beautiful complex.” We explore the way in which social constraints and individual self-control interweave in the rat…
Sport, Identity Politics, and Globalization
Attention is given to a series of conceptual issues associated with understanding global sport development. Several weaknesses are identified. The figurational approach to the study of sportization and globalization is then outlined. Associations between sport, habitus, identity politics, “willful nostalgia,” and globalization are examined, and a case study of nostalgia and male sporting and political disaster discourse in the British media over …
Blade Runners
This article maps the development of British ice hockey and the role of Canadian migrants in the sport. The process is not new but has gathered momentum during the 1980s. Three areas are considered: the extent of involvement, the contested nature of this involvement, and the types of experience involved for the migrants themselves. Canadian ice hockey experiences are discussed in the light of a sport migrant typology: pioneers, settlers, mercenar…

Rite De Passage' or Passage to Riches
This article focuses on the movement of Nordic/Scandinavian players into English professional soccer. The frequency and form of this sport labor migration is mapped out from season 1946/1947. The presence of these migrants in England has increased considerably during the 1990s. Interview and questionnaire data provide insights into the migrant's motivation and objectives, migration preparation, and choice of England as a destination. The impact o…

European Identity Politics in Euro 96
This article analyses the relationships between sport, national identity and the media in the English press during the European Football Championship, EURO 96. Our objective is to highlight some of media representations that surround and underpin sport in general and (association) football in particular in the context of contemporary European politics. This is done primarily through a qualitative discourse analysis of some the English newspaper c…
Globalisation, Sport And National Identities
The issues of national culture, identity and ethnic reassertiveness are located within a discussion of globalization. Attention will be paid to the question of whether national cultures and identities are being weakened, strengthened or pluralized by globalization processes? The reaction to these processes of ethnic groups more wedded to traditional notions of national culture and identity will also be examined. The role which sport plays in this…
Border Crossings
This paper examines the high-profile and increasingly frequent international movement of elite players in association football, with a particular focus on migration involving the countries of the European Union and UEFA, Europe's soccer confederation. The complex patterns and structures that characterize the player movements are mapped out and analysed. The global political economy of soccer is examined with specific reference to the European Cou…
Weltkrieg III
This article examines past and present identity politics issues between England and Germany and considers the role of sport and the media in perpetuating national habitus. A qualitative case study of English and German media coverage of their semifinal match in the 1996 European Football Championships is used to illustrate the key issues. The Eliasian concepts of sleeping memories, imagined charisma, and fantasy shields are employed to construct …

Injury in Women’s Sport
This paper provides a development from previous conceptual frameworks related to the risk/pain/injury nexus in sporting subcultures (Hughes & Coakley, 1991; Maguire & Roberts, 1998; Nixon, 1992; Young, 1991). To do this, we have developed a model of factors contributing to injury risk in sport. In outlining our framework we seek to trace the enabling and coercive social forces that combine to act upon athletes and consequently promote participati…

Process-Sociological Notes on Sport, Gender Relations and Violence Control
In this working paper, we apply Elias' theory of "civilizing processes" to problems of gender relations, gender identities and, less systematically, to the more deeply embodied level of gender habituses in modem sport. More particularly, we hypothesize that, because it offers an explanation of both male fears of "emasculation/feminization" and the limited growth of equality between males and females which has so far occurred in the more "advanced…
Far Pavilions
This research probes the more recent features of the long term migration phenomenon with particular reference to the overseas migrant in English cricket. This migration is part of a broader process of sports labour migration. The rules and regulations governing migrant access to English cricket were investigated and the extent and form of overseas migration established. The range of donor countries reflects both the spread of cricket and the stro…
Challenging the sports-industrial complex
This article is an attempt to provide an alternative view of sports science and future sport worlds. For reasons to do with fundamental science, involved advocacy and committed service, and in a period of intensified globalization, it is necessary to reconfigure the nature and scope of teaching and research within the subdiscipline of sports sciences. However, just as the military-industrial complex dominates aspects of broader global processes, …

Rôle des processus sociaux dans le sport, les relations entre les sexes et le contrôle de la violence
Dans ce document de travail, nous appliquons la théorie des " processus de civilisation " d'Elias aux relations entre les sexes, à l'identité sexuelle et, moins systématiquement, aux habitus sexuels qui s'expriment à un niveau profond dans le sport moderne. Parce que cette théorie nous explique à la fois les peurs d'émasculation/féminisation des hommes et la progression limitée de l'égalité entre les sexes dans les États-nations urbains et indust…
Preliminary Observations on Globalisation and the Migration of Sport Labour
Focusing on sport labour migration, several broader issues regarding labour migration and globalisation are highlighted. The observations made, and the connections drawn, will be somewhat preliminary in nature. Several dimensions and issues of sport labour migration and globalisation are examined. A range of sports in different societies and across continents are also considered. This migration must be viewed as part of other global cultural flow…
The social roots of football hooligan violence
The authors review evidence suggesting that football hooliganism is the product of specific structural conditions. They essay a preliminary conceptualization of the ways in which these conditions generate a violent or aggressive masculine style, and attempt to establish what it is about professional football that has given it a lasting hold on the imaginations of sections of the working class. A tentative explanation of football crowd behaviour i…

Football Hooliganism in Britain before the First World War
This paper summarizes some preliminary findings of a three-year research project carried out at the University of Leicester. It discusses and partially refutes the theoretical explanations of football hooliganism as advanced by Taylor and Clarke. Based on historical research and a content analysis of selected reports of football hooliganism before the First World War, the paper shows that, contrary to common opinion, football hooliganism is by no…
Bodies, Sportscultures and Societies
Several issues raised by literature in the sociology of the body are discussed. The need for and the significance of a sociological study of the body for the sociology of sport is stated. A critical review of competing theories in the sociology of the body is undertaken. Especial attention is given to the work of Frank. His typology draws on the work of Giddens and both are viewed as deficient in certain respects. In contrast, the work of Elias i…
