Description:The book focuses on the distinctive contribution that Joseph Maguire has made to process sociology and the study of sport. Maguire's work over the past three decades highlights how process sociology has a unique perspective on the relationship between sport, culture and society, and to the body, globalisation and civilisational analysis.Reflecting on this body of work and the use of process sociology, Maguire captures the research dynamic of 'walking the line' between involvement and detachment, theory and observation, and engagement and critique.
