Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game 1945-2017

Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game 1945-2017

Cricket is an enduring paradox. On the one hand it symbolises much that is outmoded: imperialism; a leisured elite; a rural aristocratic Englishness. On the other it endures as a global game and does so by skilful adaptation trading partly on its mythic past and partly on its capacity to repackage itself. This ambitious new history recounts the politics of cricket around the world since the Second World War examining key cultural and political themes including decolonisation racism gender globalisation corruption and commercialisation. Part One looks at the transformation of cricket cultures in the ten territories of the former British Empire in the years immediately after 1945 a time when decolonisation and the search for national identity touched every cricket playing region in the world. Part Two focuses on globalisation and the game’s evolution as an international sport analysing: social change and the Ashes; the campaigns for new cricket formats; the development of the women’s game; the new breed of coach; the limits to the game’s global expansion; and the rise of India as the world’s leading cricket power. Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game 1945-2017 is fascinating reading for anybody interested in the contemporary history of sport.

At a time when there appears to be an ever-widening gap between the grassroots and elite levels of the sport this book brings together for the first time a collection of research articles dedicated solely to youth and junior grassroots football. The intention is to generate future inquiry encourage theoretical debate and stimulate empirical research on topics and issues within the relatively marginalised area of the game that is youth and junior grassroots football. The collection represents a preliminary consideration of what is already currently known about grassroots football and no less importantly point towards what remains unknown and under-researched but which deserves much more attention than has been given hitherto. As such the collection includes contributions from practitioners and researchers alike. Topics included range from the provision organisation and development of grassroots football in one national association to broader issues such as the sources of enjoyment in participation the lived experiences of junior players and coaches to the causes of youth dropout from football.

These include female participation and the role of elite female role models and issues relating to the participation of immigrant youth. The book is intended to appeal to practitioners academics and football enthusiasts alike.

Recomposing the Past: Representations of Early Music on Stage and Screen

Recomposing the Past: Representations of Early Music on Stage and Screen

Recomposing the Past is a book concerned with the complex but important ways in which we engage with the past in modern times. Contributors examine how media on stage and screen uses music and in particular early music to evoke and recompose a distant past. Culture popular and otherwise is awash with a stylise - sometimes contradictory - musical history. And yet for all its complexities these representations of the past through music are integral to how our contemporary and collective imaginations understand history. More importantly they offer a valuable insight into how we understand our musical present. Such representative strategies the book argues cross generic boundaries and as such it brings together a range of multimedia discussion on the subjects of film (Lord of the Rings Dangerous Liasions) television (Game of Thrones The Borgias) videogame (Dragon Warrior Gauntlet) and opera (Written on Skin Taverner English ‘dramatick opera’). This collection constitutes a significant and interdisciplinary contribution to a growing literature which is unpacking our ongoing creative dialogue with the past. Divided into three complementary sections grouped not by genre or media but by theme it considers: ‘Authenticity Appropriateness and Recomposing the Past’ ‘Music Space and Place: Geography as History’ and ‘Presentness and the Past: Dialogues between Old and New’. Like the musical collage that is our shared multimedia historical soundscape it is hoped that this collection is in its eclecticism more than the sum of its parts. | Recomposing the Past: Representations of Early Music on Stage and Screen
