Description: This book argues that sport in the era of global or financialised capitalism has undergone a process of fracturing which requires a re - assessment of longstanding and consensual accounts of traditional - to - modern sporting activity. Considering rival concepts of sport it presents detailed illustrative studies of various types of sporting or athletic activity including soccer cricket rugby and track and field to advance an alternative sociological understanding of sport rooted in the philosophies and theories of critical realism and critical theory. As such A Critical Realist Theory of Sport will appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in sport research methods and critical realist thought.
