About this book

Around the start of the twentieth century, sport came to stand for cultural modernity, because it joined aesthetic and technical modernity in a productive way. Robert Musil was among the first to reflect on its significance. This German-language book examines that development.

The author places it within contemporary debates about the techniques of the moving body in work, competition and culture. Those debates promoted sport as a way of life for modern people, and the book examines the term 'Sport' itself in that context.

Written by Anne Fleig and published by de Gruyter, with ISBN-13 9783110196436.
