摘要：Michael Burawoy, former president of the American Sociological Association and the International Sociological Association, is one of the most distinguished social scientists of the early 21 st century. Having been engaged in ethnographic fieldwork for a great deal of his academic career, Burawoy has lately turned his attention to the internal divisions of labour in his discipline, engendering a compelling analysis which culminated in his case for public sociology. In the following conversation, Burawoy draws upon examples from his ethnographic research to address prevalent themes in the sociology of sport. He articulates his views on the social movements that have recently erupted in various parts of the world, and provides an incisive critique of the commodification of sports and leisure.
