- Summary:
- This scholarly work explores the intersection of professional sports, specifically football, with historical and contemporary systems of dependency and exploitation, such as slavery. Drawing on extensive research, the author examines the production of 'elite bodies' within the framework of asymmetrical power dynamics, autonomy, and control. The book discusses traditional practices like the use of elite fighters and concubines, as well as modern parallels such as the recruitment of children into elite sports and entertainment industries. It delves into issues of physical and psychological impact, including doping, human enhancement, and systemic abuse. The author's objective is to provide a critical analysis of the mechanisms that shape elite performers, blending historical insights with contemporary case studies. This book is intended for an academic audience, particularly those interested in sports studies, history, sociology, and the study of power structures. Generated by AI.
