O knihe
Out of Bounds is a collection of essays that regards the mediarepresentation of professional sports through the lens of cultural studies. EditorsAaron Baker and Todd Boyd contend that the popularity of sports derives not simplyfrom their appeal as leisure entertainment but from their contribution to discussionof larger issues of class, race, gender, and masculinity. Essays in the collectionchallenge media wisdom about the apolitical nature of sports by examining how theycontribute to the contested process of defining social identities. Included within abroad range of works are "'Never Trust a Snake': WWF Wrestling as MasculineMelodrama," (Henry Jenkins), "Mike Tyson and the Perils of DiscursiveConstraints: Boxing, Race and The Assumption of Guilt" (John Sloop), and"Visible Difference and Flex Appeal: The Body, Sex, Sexuality, and Race in thePumping Iron Films" (Christine Holmlund).
