Fighting Scholars

¿Fighting Scholars¿ presents insightful ethnographic research on a range of different martial arts and combat sports. Taking the habitus as a central theme of analysis, the different contributions of this volume are aligned within the same project that began to crystallize in Loïc Wacquant¿s ¿Body and Soul¿: the construction of a ¿carnal sociology¿ that constitutes an exploration of the social world ¿from¿ the body.
