The role of The Daily show ’s interviews in political comedy
Return, Remembrance and Redemption
This article takes a hauntological approach to explore Shane Meadows's preoccupation with (post)traumatic return, focusing on the TV series The Virtues (Channel 4, 2019) and This Is England ’88 (Channel 4, 2011), which are correlatives in their sophisticated explication of hauntological trauma. Using Jacques Derrida's theoretical neologism ‘hauntology’, the haunting cycles which are signatures in Meadows's work are understood as spectres of an un…
Research Handbook on EU Sports Law and Policy
The EU’s influence on sport has traditionally focused on the socio-economic and cultural impact. This Research Handbook on EU Sports Law explores the development of the 'European dimension' in sport, and the concomitant legal issues including, competition law, state aid and free movement of persons. The application of such areas of EU law to sport and the influence of EU law on key policy issues such as, doping, match-fixing and governance, are d…
Methodology in Sports History
The brief note aims to illustrate how historical context has contributed to my writing on modern sports law and principally through two pieces of work – the first relating to the historical, sui generis origins of the legality of combat or fighting sports, which continues to stretch the boundaries of core principles of criminal law, such as reasonable consent to bodily harm, to their utmost; and second, and more generally, the ‘historicalegal’ in…

Leading Cases in Sports Law
This collection of key cases in sports law accounts for both the historical development of the topic and critical, contemporary issues in sports law. The collection includes case law from numerous jurisdictions across the common and civil law traditions and includes leading awards at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which individually have contributed to the robustness of modern sports law. It is written by over 20 leading sports law academic…
Doping, sport and the law
This article concerns the legal issues that surround the prohibition of doping in sport. The current policy on the use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in sport is underpinned by both a paternalistic desire to protect athletes' health and the long-term integrity or ‘spirit’ of sport. The policy is put into administrative effect globally by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which provides the regulatory and legal framework through which th…
Looking at Mirrors, Peering Through Scrims
Modern Sports Law
The aim of this book is to provide an account of how the law influences the operation, administration and playing of modern sports. Although the book focuses on legal doctrine it has been written bearing in mind sport's historical, cultural, social and economic context, including the drama and colour of sport's major events and leading personalities. And although it is inevitably very much concerned with elite professional sports it is not domina…
On the Move
The Legality of Boxing
The first book of its kind dedicated to an assessment of the legality of boxing, The Legality of Boxing: A Punch Drunk Love? assesses the legal response to prize fighting and undertakes a current analysis of the status of boxing in both criminal legal theory and practice. In this book, Anderson exposes boxing’s 'exemption' from contemporary legal and social norms. Reviewing all aspects of boxing - historical, legal, moral, ethical, philosophical,…
Ave Atque Vale
Making a Place for Joy
It is certain that the miniature world that exists within that extraordinary drop of water called “the theatre” yields in every respect a concentrated image of the larger one. —August Bournonville

Reformations, re‐formings, modern dances
So concludes Selma Jeanne Cohen's introductory essay to her important anthology, The Modern Dance: Seven Statements of Belief.' Because she points out ways in which modern dancers have defied established ideology and have flaunted the unacceptable symbol, one that startles us into awareness,2 it is appropriate to call these choreographers iconoclasts, in sense that involves attacks on venerable, but outworn, institutions or ideas. However, in rel…

Bournonville
Impresarios, producers, directors, and publishers both warn against and secretly crave sequels. It seems only logical to follow a successful novel, film, or theatrical event with another of the same kind, yet the results are often disappointing. A truly distinctive creation may also be an inimitable one. Nevertheless, sequels continue to appear. Even some of the theorists who caution against them succumb to the temptation to make them

The great world and the small
One thing that students of dance history are often unable to study is choreography itself. Although research can reveal much about the music, decor, and dramatic significance of a choreographic work, the evanescence of dance may make it impossible for us to know how that work lived and moved upon a stage. Therefore the Royal Danish Ballet's Bournonville Centenary Festival in Copenhagen (November 24-30, 1979) was one of the most important dance ev…
