CALL FOR PROPOSALS

*Palgrave Series of Sport in Asia*



Book Series Editors:

Younghan Cho (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies)

William W. Kelly (Yale University)

Book proposals both in forms of monographs and edited volumes are sought
for publication in a new book series from Palgrave. The *Palgrave Series of**
Sport in Asia* aims to answer the need of publishing works of leading
scholars who critically engage with the complexity of Asian sport from
global and comparative perspectives. The study of sport in Asia is a new
and burgeoning field of scholarship both regionally and globally. While the
expansion of sport studies over recent decades has been remarkable, a
comprehensive book series focussing on sports across Asia has yet to be
initiated. Titles in this new series on *Sport in Asia*are not limited to
case studies of the past but initiates contemporary theoretical
interrogations from various scholarly perspectives and theoretical
backgrounds. By interrogating historical and contemporary Asian sports,
this series will provide fresh theoretical and empirical understandings of
physical culture and Asian societies.

While in principal covering all Asia, the proposed series will focus
geographically on East Asia—including China, Japan, and South Korea, the
political, economic, and cultural hub of the region—and the increasingly
important regions of South and Southeast Asia, where sport is closely tied
to national and regional processes of political and economic
transformation. Given burgeoning interest in regional and global sports
mega-events in Asia, the series will also prioritize transnational and
intra-regional topics that challenge and potentially reconfigure the
understanding of “Asia” as a region. As the first of its kind, the series
aspires to provide critical assessments and indications of the practical
implications of *Sport in Asia* for the international community of
English-speaking scholars, academies and institutes in order to foster more
constructive and dialogical collaboration.

Proposals may include, but are certainly not restricted to, such  topics as
body practices (exercise, training), cultural industries (leagues,
publicity, sponsorship), diplomacy (transnational institutes, government
and NGOs), fandom (celebrity, sports stars, cultural identity), media
(broadcasting, journalism, representation), sports mega-events (the
Olympics, Football World Cup, Asian Games), and Asian traditional sports.

Because of its cross-disciplinary nature, welcome are cutting edge works in
a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, cultural
studies, gender studies, urban studies, performance studies, media studies
and sociology. We also place a premium on books written in a readable style
with minimum academic jargon, making them highly accessible and interesting
to sports fans, administrators, practitioners and collectors as well as
students and scholars.

material, usually an abstract, one or two sample chapter(s), and your
