Conclusion -- Index. 520 $a This book explores the ways in which religion is observed, performed, and organised in skateboard culture. Drawing on scholarship from the sociology of religion and the cultural politics of lifestyle sports, this work combines ethnographic research with media analysis to argue that the rituals of skateboarding provide participants with a rich cultural canvas for emotional and spiritual engagement. Paul O'Connor contends that religious identification in skateboarding is set to increase as participants pursue ways to both control and engage meaningfully with an activity that has become an increasingly mainstream and institutionalized sport. Religion is explored through the themes of myth, celebrity, iconography, pilgrimage, evangelism, cults, and self-help--back cover. 650 0 $a Skateboarding $x Religious aspects. 650 0 $a Religion and sociology. 650 0 $a Skateboarders $x Religious life. 650 0 $a Skateboarding. 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a O'Connor, Paul. $t Skateboarding and religion. $d Cham : Palgrave Macmillan, [2020] $z 9783030248574 $w (OCoLC)1122617968 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103021611.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=17A3AA342DF711EAB868BF0597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
