Dear all,
We lost an article last week, or rather the authors of an article. An unsolicited submission, we accepted it for good reasons and planned for publication during spring. Somewhat later that expected we sent off the proof pages ahead of publication, but we’ve not yet been able to elicit a response from the authors. We’re working on it, though, as well as on the next article in line. In the meanwhile, you’ll have to make do with the usual stuff, book reviews, new journal issues, and calls for papers.
So, last week the following items were published on idrottsforum.org (see below; language and publication dates, YYMMDD, in brackets). Click on section headings to go to content. Utilize the Google Translate service to turn Scandinavian language pages into (some sort of) English.
Have a great week,
Kjell Eriksson

Book Reviews
The Jurisprudence of Sport: Sports and Games as Legal Systems by Mitchell N. Berman & Richard D. Friedman
The jurisprudence of sport is a fast-developing field of academic study which, unlike sports law, treats sports and games as legal systems to be studied in their own right. Legal philosopher Miroslav Imbrišević is well placed to review Mitchell N. Berman & Richard D. Friedman’s The Jurisprudence of Sport: Sports and Games as Legal Systems (West Academic Publishing), and his knowledgeable and thorough review demonstrates the value of jurisprudence as an area and method of study.

Parkour, Deviance and Leisure in the Late-Capitalist City: An Ethnography by Thomas Raymen
Taking us on an ethnographic journey into the spatially transgressive practice of parkour and freerunning, in Parkour, Deviance and Leisure in the Late-Capitalist City: An Ethnography (Emerald) Thomas Raymen attempts to explain and untangle some of the contradictions that surround this popular lifestyle sport and its exclusion from our hyper-regulated cities. Jenny Hall, cultural geographer, reads Raymen’s tour de force as a comprehensive analysis of the harm that leisure produces. (ENG 220421)
Science Meets Sports: When statistics are more than numbers by Christophe Ley & Yves Dominicy (eds.)
Science Meets Sports: When statistics are more than numbers, edited by Christophe Ley & Yves Dominicy (Cambridge Scholars Publishing), presents the field of sports statistics to two very distinct target audiences, academicians and sports fans. And according to our reviewer Mats Franzén the book works well for both groups; he finds a number of promising approaches to analysis of sporting practices, although they may be more accessible for the sports-interested statistician than the regular sports fan.
