SUMMARY |
Summary |
"As the digital revolution continues apace, emergent technologies and means of communication present new challenges and opportunities for the football industry. This is the first book to bring together key contemporary debates at the intersection of football studies, leisure studies and digital cultural studies. It presents cutting edge theoretical and empirical work based around four key themes: theorising digital football cultures; digital football fandom; football and social media; and football (sub)cybercultures. Covering topics such as transnational digital fandom, online abuse and gender, Digital Football Cultures argues that we are witnessing the hyper-digitalization of the world's most popular sport. This book is a valuable resource for students and researchers working in leisure studies, sports studies, football studies and critical media studies, as well as geography, anthropology, criminology and sociology. It is also fascinating reading for anybody working in sport, media and culture"-- |
