[Commlist] New book: Sport, Film and National Culture

*/SPORT, FILM AND NATIONAL CULTURE/*(Routledge, 2020), edited by Seán 
Crosson

I'm delighted to announce the publication of the new collection, 
/*Sport, Film and National Culture*/**(Routledge, 2020), edited by Seán 
Crosson (Huston School of Film & Digital Media, NUI Galway).

This is the first collection dedicated to examining the intersection of 
sport, film and national culture. Covering films of all types, from 
Hollywood blockbusters to regional documentaries and newsreels, /Sport, 
Film, and National Culture/considers how filmic depictions of sport have 
configured and informed a wide range of distinctive national cultures, 
societies and identities. Featuring case studies from eleven national 
contexts across six continents – including North and South America, 
Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania – it reveals the common and contrasting 
approaches that have emerged within sport cinema in differing national 
contexts. Further information (and sample materials) re the collection 
available at:
