Paperback. Condition: New. This book examines the life and career of Michael Jordan, one of the greatest athletes in the history of sports, asking how he transcended his sport to become a canonical myth in popular culture.Drawing on work in sport studies, cultural studies, sociology, history, business, and media, this book helps us to understand how myths are made in modern society and highlights the importance of myths in a 'post-truth' world. It unpacks the underlying 'monomythical' structure of the Jordan myth, including the universality of the 'hero's journey', and explores those features that are inherently American but that also carried Jordan to the status of a global superstar. This book traces the contours of his career and looks at how the intersection of commercial interests, media narratives, and supreme athletic talent, in a particular social, political, and historical context, generated a myth that continues to resonate today, long after the end of Jordan's playing career.Drawing on original research and adding new theoretical depth to our understanding of Michael Jordan's place in popular culture, this book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the relationship between sport and wider society. …
