The Sportification Process
Marx, Weber, Durkheim, and Freud were giants of the sociological/ psychological imagination. They live with us whenever we theorize sport’s relationship to long-term social development. They thought holistically, providing a form of consciousness with which to read our personal, positional (status interests), and class locations in society. Moreover, the classical theorists challenged us to ask, ‘Why do we do what we do and why do we believe in w…
On the Waterfront
Arguments for funding new professional sport stadia with public money center upon the notion of community-fans' connection with the teams and the money that teams bring into the community. Through the lens of community theorists like Wirth (1938, 1964), Bellah and colleagues (1985), and Putnam (2000), this paper locates the professional sport franchise within local community relations and analyzes the ways in which local elites attempt to evoke c…
From Social Problem to Personal Issue
In this paper the way in which the concept of lifestyle has been mobilized in the debate over healthcare in the last decade is analysed. Has the USA become a more compassionate nation as former President George Bush urged? Or have neo-conservative and right-wing groups continued to impede the democratization of well-being? And, in the absence of full democratization through public provision, how have private sector health and fitness industries c…
The Expendable Prolympic Self
This article offers a proposal for combining the sport sociological and sport psychological imaginations. In order to effect this rapprochement , some serious adjustments to the ways in which many applied sport psychologists and sport sociologists think about and conduct research are required. Thus, the initial part of this article expresses some critiques, albeit brief, of current tendencies within both sport sociology and sport psychology. We d…

A Sociology of North American Sociology of Sport
As we pass the 30th anniversary of a recognized sociology of sport in North America, it is appropriate to develop a current sociological analysis of the subdiscipline. In the first part we examine the origins of the field and the development of the Wisconsin socialization paradigm and the social problems perspective. In the second part we explore the critical shift in the field, emerging from an engagement with C. Wright Mills, and the developmen…
Didn’t Cyclops Lose His Vision? An Exercise in Sociological Optometry
This paper begins with an examination of five “manifest absurdities” that arise in the exchange between MacAloon and, Hargreaves and Tomlinson. It continues with a critical analysis of Morgan’s attempt at conflict resolution, paying special attention to his distorted discussion of hegemony. Against this background, the authors argue that one of the major omissions in sociology (of sport or otherwise) is the careful analysis of the enculturation o…
The market for sulphur dioxide permits in the USA and UK
Economists have long recognised that many environmental problems are due to the absence of property rights and markets. Further, they have argued that the creation of markets in environmental goods will lead to the attainment of optimal levels of pollution at minimum cost compared to the use of standards, or command and control methods. Environmental policy and control has often been in the hands of engineers and scientists, and, because they hav…
Some not so new Arguments in Support of Heterodox Agendas in the Study of Sport 1
This essay is not a direct response to the articles of Cole, Dewar, Maguire, and Young. Rather it is an attempt to situate their perspectives within the changing face of sociology and the sociology of sport as fields of inquiry. In this essay, I try to address the conflicts that exist between conventional sociologists (orthodox-mainstream) and those of us who oppose the conventional agenda. I ask the question 'Which sociological imagination will …
Whose Knowledge Counts? The Production of Knowledge and Issues of Application in the Sociology of Sport
This essay was prompted by and is a response to Yiannakis’ (1989) article in which he called for a more applied orientation on the part of sociologists of sport. In our response, we argue that Yiannakis’ position is flawed because he fails to explore the oftentimes political overdetermination of academic process and the links between the marketplace of physical culture and the prestige hierarchies that exist within the university—How do the two c…

Capitalism and Leisure Theory. Chris Rojek
From Public Issue to Personal Trouble
What follows here is an essay—a rather one-sided viewpoint that is both tentative and, within the limits of a journal article, incomplete. I attempt to understand how our recent preoccupation with our bodies is being mobilized as one solution to the fiscal crisis of the welfare state. The deep-rooted assumptions of voluntarism that characterize liberal ideology, I claim, are surfacing again in the debate over lifestyle. And lifestyle, it appears,…
