Abstract:

Sport is a universal feature of global popular culture. It shapes our
identities, affects our relationships, and defines our communities. It also
influences our consumption habits, represents our cultures, and dramatizes our
politics. In other words, sport is among the most prominent vehicles for
communication available in daily life. Nevertheless, only recently has it
begun to receive robust attention in the discipline of communication studies.
The Handbook of Communication and Sport attends to the recent and rapid growth
of scholarship in communication and media studies that features sport as a
central site of inquiry. The book attempts to capture a full range of methods,
theories, and topics that have come to define the subfield of "communication
and sport" or "sports communication." It does so by emphasizing four primary
features. First, it foregrounds "communication" as central to the study of
sport. This emphasis helps to distinguish the book from collections in related
disciplines such as sociology, and also points readers beyond media as the
primary or only context for understanding the relationship between
communication and sport. Thus, in addition to studies of media effects,
mediatization, media framing, and more, readers will also engage with studies
in interpersonal, intercultural, organizational, and rhetorical communication.
Second, the handbook presents an array of methods, theories, and topics in the
effort to chart a comprehensive landscape of communication and sport
scholarship. Thus, readers will benefit from empirical, interpretive, and
critical work, and they will also see studies drawing on varied texts and
sites of inquiry. Third, the Handbook of Communication and Sport includes a
broad range of scholars from around the world. It is therefore neither
European nor North American in its primary focus. In addition, the book
includes contributors from commonly under-represented regions in Asia, Africa,
and South America. Fourth, the handbook aims to account for both historical
trajectories and contemporary areas of interest. In this way, it covers the
central topics, debates, and perspectives from the past and also suggests
continued and emerging pathways for the future. Collectively, the Handbook of
Communication and Sport aspires to provide scholars and students in
communication and media studies with the most comprehensive assessment of the
field available.
