Starting at the root: An interrogation of performance above all else logic in sport as we overshoot planetary boundaries
In Sport, Performance and Sustainability, an open access volume edited by Svensson, Backman, Hedenborg & Sörlin (Routledge), the authors examine the logic of ‘faster, higher, and stronger’ and the technoscientific revolution behind the tremendous growth in sport performance over the last 100 years. Our reviewer Benjamin Mole commends the choice of Guttmann’s sportification concept as the starting point and finds much in the analyses to appreciate. Some critical observations notwithstanding, he hails the book for moving the discussion of sporting logics forward.
