Anotace knihy

This book examines total fighting , which is §becoming increasingly popular in Japan, from several §different angles with particular reference to the §issue of violence, and, at the end, to evaluate the §appropriateness of the theory of the civilising §process, first suggested by Norbert Elias, for §understanding a relatively contemporary spectator-§oriented violent sport, such as total fighting. §This book has two dimensions: first, the development §of combative sports, such as bujutsu, budo and §professional wrestling (all of which have a close §relationship to total fighting) as well as total §fighting, was examined in order to understand the §emergence and growing popularity of total fighting §in the 1990s in the context of the historical §development of combative sports in Japan; second, §the case study of total fighting itself was §contextualised in the broader context of §culture and the issue of violence in contemporary §Japan. These interrelated analyses were informed by §a period of exploratory fieldwork in Japan, and this §context was reviewed in the light of a broader §theoretical discussion concerning the theory of the §civilising process.
