Performance versus Results: A Critique of Values in Contemporary SportSUNY Press, 18.06.1993 - 139 Seiten This study examines the consequences of cultural development on the emergence of contemporary sport. The current preoccupation with statistics and reductionist theories has objectified athletic performance to the extent that the scoreboard identifies excellence. Gibson offers an alternative position that focuses on the relationship of the athlete to the sport. |
