The institutional relationship between sport and the military appears to be intensifying. In the US, for example, which faced global criticism for its foreign policy during the "war on terror," militaristic images and discourses are commonplace at sporting events. This critical, interdisciplinary and international volume seeks to identify intersections of sport and militarism as a means to interrogate, interrupt, and intervene on behalf of democratic, peaceful politics. Viewing sport as a crucial site in which militarism is made visible and legitimate, it explores the connections between sport, the military and the state, and their impact on wider society and culture.
Michael L. Butterworth is Director and Associate Professor in the School of Communication Studies at Ohio University, USA. His research investigates the relationships between rhetoric, democracy and sport. In particular, he is interested in the extent to which commercialized sport may enrich or diminish democratic culture. He is the author of Baseball and Rhetorics of Purity: The National Pastime and American Identity during the War on Terror (2010) and co-author of the textbook Communication and Sport: Surveying the Field (2014). He has published in journals such as Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies, Communication and Sport, Communication, Culture & Critique, the International Review for the Sociology of Sport, the Journal of Communication, and the Quarterly Journal of Speech
