{"product_id":"football-as-literature-utibe-hanson-9781680531039","title":"Football as Literature: A Semiotic Reading","description":"\u003cp\u003eFootball as Literature adopts semiotics as a framework to compare football (soccer) to literature. The football field is akin to the plot or stage in narrative or dramatic modes, respectively, and the players are viewed as characters whose metamorphoses, in the text of football, are occasioned from the label of their positions to the completeness of the plot by the kinetic power of the ball. In employing this commentary, a standard football match is seen as a representation of the active text. Particularly, without commentary football unfolds as an unspoken semiotic narrative. Football is seen, therefore, as existing in a continuum of signification encapsulated especially in the acknowledged genres of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Utibe Hanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680531034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680531039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academica Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d","brand":"Utibe Hanson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453878743295,"sku":"9781680531039","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5944b6e-42bf-48fe-8faa-0f42c85bdf56.jpg?v=1777302794","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/football-as-literature-utibe-hanson-9781680531039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
