Book review: Beyond Sport for Development and Peace: Transnational Perspectives on Theory, Policy and Practice

head itself became the event and ultimately overshadowed everything, including Italy’s eventual win of the Coupe du Monde (the pseudo-event) (p. 110). In Motion, At Rest seeks to unpack the philosophical concept of “the event” through the lens of sport by demonstrating the ways in which a moment of rupture brings something new into the world (Basset, 2008). In the three discussed cases, what was introduced anew to the sporting events – though in different ways and through various means – was violence. What Farred’s text, among other things, brings to the study of sport (be it through sociology, history, philosophy) is thinking about the intersection of gender and sport in general, and notions of masculinity in particular. Though Farred contends that “all [sport] time is violence” (p. 92), the case studies elucidate violence enacted among and between men – be it among players and players or between players and fans. Farred’s text also demonstrates that sport is a space in which our understandings of what occurs between players and players, as well as players and fans often produces understandings of race/ethnicity, colonialism, religion, movement or stillness in such a way that “far exceeds sport” (p. 12). Farred offers an examination of issues that exist beyond the realm of sport (e.g. racism and xenophobia) through “the events” involving Artest, Cantona and Zidane; however, what these discussions could benefit from is a more in-depth discussion of masculinities, and the role that they played in each incident. For instance, is the event only an event – in sport – if violence is its outcome? If so, is “the event” in sport one which can only be understood through a masculinist framework? Farred’s text is a unique contribution to the study of sport in terms of thinking about violence, as well as time and space, and ruptures that occur within the space/time of sport. His discussion of vertical and horizontal time in particular, offers an intriguing way to understand sport as it exists among players and players and between players and fans. Furthermore, by engaging with “the event” (as a philosophical notion) Farred offers a way of understanding issues tied to racism, xenophobia, and colonialism in a transnational context through what is often thought of as the apolitical domain of sport, while making it clear that sport is anything but.
