Sportlandschaften

Více o knize

The spatial circumstances where sport events take place have to date not been a major subject of concern for historians. This book fills this gap and takes a deep look at the role of spaces in the history of sports and mass culture. The author studies the development of sport landscapes and their functions in Germany in the years between 1880 and 1930. The results show that during the classical modern period important and basic social, cultural and political processes became concentrated in the realm of sports.
