Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. A powerful cultural critique of soccers public rhetoric American sports agnostics might raise an eyebrow at the idea that soccer represents a staging ground for cultural, social, and political possibility. It is just another game, after all, in a society where mass-audience spectator sports largely avoid any political stance other than a generic, corporate-friendly patriotism. But John M. Sloop picks up on the work of Laurent Dubois and others to see in American soccera sport that has achieved immense participation and popularity despite its struggle to establish major league statusa game that permits surprisingly diverse modes of thinking about national identity because of its marginality. As a rhetorician who draws on both critical theory and culture, Sloop seeks to read soccer as the game intersects with gender, race, sexuality, and class. The result of this engagement is a sense of both enormous possibility and real constraint. If American soccer offers more possibility because of its marginality, looking at how those possibilities are constrained can provide valuable insights into neoliberal logics of power, profit, politics, and selfhood. In Soccers Neoliberal Pitch, Sloop analyzes a host of soccer-adjacent phenomena: the equal pay dispute between the US womens national team and the US Soccer Federation, the significance of hooligan literature, the introduction of English soccer to American TV audiences, the strange invisibility of the Mexican soccer league despite its consistent high TV ratings, and the reading of US national teams as underdogs despite the nations quasi-imperial dominance of the Western hemisphere. An invaluable addition to a growing bookshelf on soccer titles, Soccers Neoliberal Pitch serves as a model for critical cultural work with sports, with appeal to not only sports studies, but cultural studies, communication, and even gender studies classrooms. Offers a cultural critique of soccers public rhetoric. John Sloop picks up on the work of Laurent Dubois and others to see in American soccer - a sport that has achieved popularity despite its struggle to establish major league status - a game that permits surprisingly diverse modes of thinking about national identity because of its marginality.
