Overview
Eleven international scholars from kinesiology, cultural studies and sport sociology contribute ten essays about new ways of writing sport research—specifically, writing from a personal or autoethnographic perspective, as opposed to traditional notions of "neutrality" in reporting and analyzing people's experiences. Topics discussed include the practices of autoethnography and writing ethnographic fiction, injury and pain, freedom through movement, obsessive fan behavior, sexual identity in sport, the sports of displaced kids—skateboarding, inline skating, BMX—and reflections on the craft of sport fiction writing.
