Alongside the general interest in Deleuze s work within the social sciences, there is a burgeoning body of Deleuzian-inspired works on physical activity mainly within the sociology of sport. This volume provides a comprehensive reading of Deleuze s rhizomatic philosophy as it pertains to the study of the physically active body, exploring theoretical and practical examples of how the physically active body can be examined as a material, social, political, and cultural entity using a Deleuzian perspective, and showing--guided by a Deleuzian perspective--ways of investigating the physically active body as an agent for social change."
