Download or read book A Performative Feel for the Game written by Trygve B. Broch and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-21 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying a cultural sociology of performance, this book interrogates how the meaning of sport intersects with gender. Trygve B. Broch points out uncertainties in the causal arguments made by key figures in the cultural studies tradition, instead advancing a meaning-centered study of sports as involving both a social and an athletic performance. Sports not only reflect or reverse social realities, but capture and keep our attention when we use and experience them as a means to reflect on social life, injustice, and hierarchy. More specifically, blending approaches from media studies with ethnography, Broch explores the women-dominated sport of handball in Norway, a country that considers gender equality a basis of democracy. As such, the analyses here show how broadly available meanings about sameness and equality are mediated and experienced through a performative feel for the game.

Download or read book The Great Nowitzki Basketball and the Meaning of Life written by Thomas Pletzinger and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A journey into the mindset of a historic basketball superstar, and the importance of his landmark career. The seven-foot Dirk Nowitzki is one of the greatest players in basketball history. The Dallas Maverick’s legend revolutionized the sport, redefining the role of the big man in the modern game. Dirk moved differently: flexible and fast, confident and in control. He thought differently, too. On the court, his shots were masterful—none more venerated than his signature one-legged flamingo fadeaway, a move that lives on in the repertoire of today’s most skilled NBA players. How did this lanky kid from the German suburbs become an all-time top ten scorer and NBA champion? How can a superstar stay so humble? Award-winning novelist and sportswriter Thomas Pletzinger spent over seven years traveling with Nowitzki. He witnessed Dirk’s summer workouts, involving fingertip pushups and the study of the physics, and spent days discussing literature and philosophy with Holger Geschwindner, Dirk’s enigmatic mentor and coach. Watching Nowitzki in empty gyms and in packed arenas with 30,000 fans, Pletzinger began to understand how Dirk and Holger’s philosophical insights on performance, creativity, and freedom enabled his success and longevity. The Great Nowitzki tells Dirk’s dramatic story like never before. Pletzinger describes Dirk’s youth in small-town Germany, follows the steep learning curve of Dirk’s early seasons, the devastating Finals loss to the Miami Heat, and the triumphant championship five years later. Traveling with Dirk in his final seasons, Pletzinger immerses himself in the community of people impacted by Nowitzki’s game, interviewing everyone from average fans in Dallas and security guards at the arena to front office executives and Hall of Fame teammates, who reflect on what Dirk’s career means to the next generation of ballplayers. And to the game itself. A masterpiece of sports writing that reads like a novel, The Great Nowitzki brims with a fan’s passion. Pletzinger shows how strongly basketball influences our imagination and the extraordinary journey an icon like Dirk Nowitzki must take to reach the pinnacle of the game.

Book excerpt: It is considered by many to be the biggest upset in the history of boxing: James "Buster" Douglas knocked out then-undefeated and seemingly invincible Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson in the tenth round in 1990.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George is a tormented soul who has been battling the disease of addiction. On a bitter winter night, bereft of all hope, he climbs a light stanchion at the local racetrack, fiercely determined to end his emotional pain and avoid the consequences sure to follow his latest binge. When George reaches the top, he loses his nerve, then his grip, and falls. After he regains consciousness on a park bench in a mysterious land without any idea of where he is, who he is, or how he got there, George meets two beings that look exactly like him: Hawaiian Shirt George, a humble, wise manifestation of God who lives inside him, and Balderdash, his self-centered, narcissistic ego. Together, the trio embarks on the journey that lies before them. Along the way, George is introduced to a cast of characters as he confronts his sordid past and attempts to make decisions concerning his future. Several conversations with God reveal interesting life truths. Although God and his very dysfunctional family act as the conduit, it is ultimately up to George to choose what happens next. Making Crooked Lines Straight is the intriguing tale of a tormented man’s spiritual journey after he falls from a light stanchion in a failed suicide attempt. Readers who are drawn to fantasy fiction with a philosophical bent will find much to enjoy.
