Inhaltsangabe
This groundbreaking collection explores how the threat and reality of death shape the culture, business, and ethics of the ring.
This interdisciplinary volume critically examines the persistent presence of death in combat sports-boxing, mixed martial arts, and professional wrestling-and its broader cultural, ethical, and sociopolitical implications. Drawing on perspectives from history, sociology, philosophy, media studies, and public health, contributors interrogate how the threat and reality of death shape the moral frameworks, institutional structures, and symbolic meanings of these sports.
This book reevaluates ethical critiques of combat sports, considering both the risks of physical harm and the social marginalization of athletes. Through historical case studies, theoretical inquiry, and cultural analysis, Death in the Ring positions death not merely as a tragic outcome but as a revealing lens through which to understand the values, contradictions, and transformations of combat sports in society. Essential reading for scholars of sport studies, cultural history, ethics, and media.
