Synopsis "Gaelic Games in Society: Civilising Processes, Players, Administrators and Spectators"

In this book John Connolly and Paddy Dolan illustrate and explain developments in Gaelic games, the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), and Irish society over the course of the last 150 years. The main themes in the book include: advances in the threshold of repugnance towards violence in the playing of Gaelic games, changes in the structure of spectator violence, diminishing displays of superiority towards the competing sports of soccer and rugby, the tension between decentralising and centralising processes, the movement in the balance between amateurism and professionalism, changes in the power balance between 'elite' players and administrators, and the difficulties in developing a new hybrid sport. The authors also explain how these developments were connected to various social processes including changes in the structure of Irish society and in the social habitus of people in Ireland.

John Connolly (Dublín, 1968) es un escritor irlandés reconocido por su serie de novelas negras protagonizadas por el detective Charlie Parker. Tras una carrera como periodista en The Irish Times, debutó en la ficción con Every Dead Thing (1999), que recibió el Shamus Award a la mejor primera novela. Su obra ha sido traducida a más de 30 idiomas y ha cosechado premios como el Edgar, el Anthony y el Barry. Además de la serie de Charlie Parker, ha escrito novelas como The Book of Lost Things y The Land of Lost Things, y ha publicado colecciones de relatos como Nocturnes y Night Music.

Ejemplo de su obra: Los mensajeros de la oscuridad (The Instruments of Darkness, 2024), la vigésima segunda entrega de la serie de Charlie Parker. En esta novela, una madre acusada de un crimen atroz recurre a Parker para investigar la desaparición de su hijo. La obra ha sido descrita como "una de las mejores novelas de la serie" y se caracteriza por su mezcla de suspense, oscuridad y elementos sobrenaturales, además de explorar temas de bondad, lealtad y amor. La crítica ha destacado su capacidad para dejar a los lectores sin aliento y conmocionados.
