{"product_id":"sport-history-in-the-digital-era","title":"Sport History in the Digital Era","description":"From statistical databases to story archives, from fan sites to the real-time reactions of Twitter-empowered athletes, the digital communication revolution has changed the way sports fans relate to their favorite teams. In this volume, contributors from Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States analyze the parallel transformation in the field of sport history, showing the ways powerful digital tools raise vital philosophical, epistemological, ontological, methodological, and ethical questions for scholars and students alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapters consider how the philosophical and theoretical understanding of the meaning of history influence a willingness to engage with digital history, and conceptualize the relationship between history making and the digital era. As the writers show, digital media's mostly untapped potential for studying the recent past via blogs, chat rooms, gambling sites, and the like forge a symbiosis between sports and the internet, and offer historians new vistas to explore and utilize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSport History in the Digital Era\u003c\/i\u003e also shows how the best digital history goes beyond a static cache of curated documents. Instead, it becomes a truly \u003ci\u003epublic\u003c\/i\u003e history that serves as a dynamic site of enquiry and discussion. In such places, scholars enter into a give-and-take with individuals while inviting the audience to grapple with, rather than passively absorb, the evidence being offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimely and provocative, \u003ci\u003eSport History in the Digital Era\u003c\/i\u003e affirms how the information revolution has transformed sport and sport history--and shows the road ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include Douglas Booth, Mike Cronin, Martin Johnes, Matthew Klugman, Geoffery Z.
