Outdoor sport and physical exercise have had considerable impact on how we design, live in, and understand landscapes. Landscapes and environments have, in turn, contributed to the formation and development of new sport activities as well as cultures of movement and the body. How have perceptions and politics of the body played a role in the evolution of different landscapes for sport? What do they tell us about their inherent culture and use, and how do landscapes for sport embody constructions of race, gender, and place? What are the interrelationships between more and less agonistic sport and body cultures, their politics, and the sites and spaces that accommodate them? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLandscapes for Sport\u003c\/i\u003e explores these intersections from multiple perspectives in different parts of the world. They focus on outdoor spaces that have been designed, built, and used for physical exercise and various competitive and non-competitive sports since the early modern period. Frequently overlooked and taken for granted, these landscapes for sport often constitute significant areas of open space in and outside our cities. This volume uncovers their relevance and meanings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sonja D?pelmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884024903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884024903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026amp; Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 8.80w x 1.20d","brand":"Sonja D?pelmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080647045375,"sku":"9780884024903","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53bf7c01-385e-4324-a02a-4f0d383d6adc.jpg?v=1685487992","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscapes-for-sport-sonja-dmpelmann-9780884024903","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
