内容説明

Research on how sport is 'gendered' represents one of the fastest areas of growth in sport studies in the last few decades. Canadian scholars from a number of fields, including sociology, kinesiology/physical education, women's studies, men's studies, cultural studies, and gay studies, are brought together in this collection to examine a wide range of gender-related issues, all of which contribute to a larger body of knowledge about how gender operates as a key factor in the way sport is played, organized, and funded. The readings in this volume try to emphasize the usefulness of distributive and relational perspectives on sport and gender. In other words, they move beyond recognition of biological differences between men and women to more significant questions of equality, power, meaning, and change both between and within males and females. The volume is divided into two sections. The first places sport and gender in an historicl and conceptual framework and includes essays on the historical intersections of gender, class, and sport. The second section, Contemporary Issues and Research, includes essays on race, sports injury, eating disorders and the athlete, sexual harassment and sexual abuse, sexuality and homophobia in sport, marketing and advertising, disabled athletes, and hazing.
