Cricket and climate change: An integrative review
The climate crisis is having an increasingly significant impact on sport and cricket, a climate-dependent sport played in some of the most climate-vulnerable regions of the world, is particularly threatened. Conversely, the relationship between cricket and climate change is understudied and the existent knowledge base is widely spread. In response, this paper utilises an integrative review methodology to bring together this disparate knowledge ba…
Beyond play? Sport and psychoanalysis: What sport reveals about our unconscious desires, fantasies, and fears
A Crisis of (Environmental) Imagination: Sport and the Limits to Environmental Action in Aotearoa New Zealand
Seeing it as a whole: A research agenda for the sociology of sport and climate change
Climate change poses an existential, if varied, threat to sport. Equally, sporting activity is having a substantial impact on the natural environment, an impact to which sporting bodies have been slow to quantify and mitigate. Despite this bidirectional threat, social science research on the relationship between sport and climate change is underdeveloped. Much of the existing research is generated by scholars within sport management and the nasce…
Sustainable Symptoms: Olympism, Air Transportation, and Fetishistic Disavowal
Olympic discourse presents a story of a global movement that places 'sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind' (IOC, 2023a). Conversely, the instantiation of this mythology in the Olympic Games is riven with the contradictions of contemporary capitalism, from the displacement of residents to the exploitation of workers and the transfer of private risk to public host cities. One issue has become especially evident: the subst…
Cricket, Capitalism and Class: From the Village Green to the Cricket Industry
This ambitious new study argues that not only is the story of cricket inescapably entwined with that of capitalism, but that the game provides a unique lens with which to understand the history, development, exigencies and contradictions of capitalist political economy. From the aristocratic capture of the artisan’s game to the commodified entertainment of private T20 leagues, the story of cricket has been told against the background of capitalis…
