ABSTRACT:
This paper seeks to analyze the contribution of sport to a common sense acceptance of the performance principles, and its associated discipline and accountability, as natural and indeed valuable features of social life. It will be our purpose, furthermore, to argue that a conceptual framework incorporating the ideas of "hegemony", structure of feeling", and "dominant, residual, and emergent" cultures, offers significant analytical advantages over frameworks based on more straightforward notions of socialization and social control. Examines how, as values and meaning in the workplace changed, leisure activities changed to be less inconsistent with the ethos of production. Argues that production and reproduction in an industrial workforce are facilitated by leisure activities which reinforce discipline and achievement oriented structures. Argues against the concepts of socialization and social control in favour of a framework incorporating the ideas of hegemony, structure of feeling, and dominant, residual and emergent cultures.
