Book Description:
|
Fighting Scholars presents insightful ethnographic research on a range of different martial arts and combat sports. Taking the habitus as a central theme of analysis, the different contributions of this volume are aligned within the same project that began to crystallize in Loic Wacquant s Body and Soul: the construction of a carnal sociology that constitutes an exploration of the social world from the body."
