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.

The Mind-Game Film Distributed Agency Time Travel and Productive Pathology

The Mind-Game Film Distributed Agency Time Travel and Productive Pathology

This book represents the culmination of Thomas Elsaesser’s intense and passionate thinking about the Hollywood mind-game film from the previous two decades. In order to answer what the mind-game film is why they exist and how they function Elsaesser maps the industrial-institutional challenges and constraints facing Hollywood and the broader philosophic horizon within which American cinema thrives today. He demonstrates how the ‘Persistence of Hollywood’ continues as it has adapted to include new twists and turns as well as revisions of past concerns as film moves through the 21st century. Through examples such as Minority Report Mulholland Drive Source Code and Back to the Future Elsaesser explores how mind-game films challenge us and play games with our perception of reality creating skepticism and (self-) doubt. He also highlights the mind-game film's tendency to intervene in a complex fashion in the political moment by questioning the dominant power’s intent to program both body and mind alike. Prescient and compelling The Mind-Game Film will appeal to students scholars and enthusiasts of media studies film studies philosophy and politics. | The Mind-Game Film Distributed Agency Time Travel and Productive Pathology
