内容説明

Written from the perspective of an author who is both baseball fan and cultural anthropologist, this book sets out to unravel the mysteries of Cooperstown, New York (home of the Baseball Hall of Fame) and Dyersville, Iowa (site of the baseball field featured in the Hollywood film, "Field of Dreams"). It offers insights into the postmodern culture of the United States in which tourist sites and "American heritages" are culturally produced and consumed, by studying the people who visit them.

目次

  • Performing place, time and time again
  • invented and contested baseball traditions - rural versus urban discourses
  • Cooperstown, New York - baseball's "birthplace" in the "village of museums"
  • Dyersville, Iowa - conservative dreaming in the "farm-toy capital of the world"
  • Dad, wanna have a catch?
  • "hegemonies" of nation, family and gender
  • space and geographical imagination - an interim conclusion
  • home is a white surface in the shape of a house - baseball's other travels, other nationalisms and other sexualities.
