Jocks playing gender games: Sport, masculinity and the subversion of identity.
Verrelli, Mario.

Jocks playing gender games: Sport, masculinity and the subversion of identity. - 120 p.

Adviser: Alan Hunt.

Thesis (M.A.)--Carleton University (Canada), 2002.

Because sport has been and continues to be a potent and highly visible site for the social production of masculinity in (post)modernity, it is necessary for any thorough analysis of its genealogy to mount a study of sport that includes not simply those phenomena that reinforce masculinity's hegemonic character but that also permits a vista into its disruptions and discontinuities. Within a broad theoretical context of critiquing masculinity as a source of violence and danger in contemporary culture, a pronounced body of recent scholarship has sought to destabilize and unpack masculinity with a resulting, intended or otherwise, development of alternative conceptions and practices. In my reading of this swelling field of inquiry, too few efforts have been made to apply a poststructural analysis of men in the athletic arena despite its irrefutable contribution to our current appreciation of masculinity's historicity. I have chosen to consider three distinct sporting disciplines that, as we will see, can be understood as performing and promoting differential degrees and versions of masculinity. Despite some of the inter-athletic distinctions that emerge in this study (parallels are also evident in demonstrating how sport culture can function more monolithically and consequently intensely on the male psyche), ultimately a generalizable vulnerability to discursive interventions of even the seemingly most virile of masculine formations is evident, suggesting the fluidity and mutability of all gender, and by extension identity, tropes.
