The Media-Sport Production Complex
This article undertakes an examination of the media-sport production complex focusing on the interdependencies between sport, media and marketing organizations. The development of American football in European societies is considered and a more detailed study of its emergence in English society is outlined. This task is undertaken in the context of an appreciation of the commodification of sport and media production more generally
Human Sciences, Sport Sciences, and the Need to Study People “In the Round”
The current orthodoxy regarding science within sport science is rethought so as to enable the social sciences to enter the field and allow for a debate over the nature and purpose of the sport sciences. An alternative vision of the potential of the sport sciences is proposed: A more "scientific" picture of human beings may be produced if human beings are studied "in the round," capturing them as whole selves, not as isolated physiological or psyc…
Towards a sociological Theory of Sport and the Emotions
The need for a sociological theory of sport, leisure and the emotions is advocated. The contribution of figurational sociology is critically reviewed. While this perspective has arguably advanced our understanding of sport and leisure, in this regard with respect to the emphasis placed on the principal function of sport and leisure being the quest for pleasurable forms of excitement, certain re-emphases are advocated. This involves reference to h…

This paper examines the figurational dynamics and cultural significance of the emergence of American football on the landscape of English sports culture. To do this, it is necessary to place this development within the context of the more general debate concerning the Americanization of British culture. It is also necessary to examine how such changes in sports culture are intertwined with broader cultural changes. The substantive section focuses…

The Commercialization of English Elite Basketball 1972-1988
This enquiry, based on a 'figurational' perspective, will be concerned to grasp the 'immanent dynamics' involved in the transformation of English elite basketball. This transformation involved changes in the balance of power within the game similar to those identified by Dunning (1975) in his typology on professional sports. Consideration will be given to whether English basketball witnessed a decline in its system of amateur control and detailin…

The Emergence of Football Spectating as a Social Problem 1880–1985
This paper has three main purposes: to undermine the dominant mythology surrounding football hooliganism, to propose an alternative conceptualization, and to highlight more general issues in the sociology of sport. The main basis for the study is a systematic survey of newspapers and FA minutes dating from the 1880s. Examination of the changing nature and extent of both the actual forms and the perception of spectator disorder by powerful outside…
