Sex, gender and sexuality have played an important role in shaping
the culture of surfing and are central themes in the study of sport
and movement cultures. Rooted in a rich precolonial history,
surfing has undergone a modern transformation shaped by visual
culture, commodification, sportization, mediatization and
globalization, arguably all linked to sex, gender and sexuality.
Using the physical culture of surfing as its focus, this
international collection discusses the complex relationships
between surfing, sex/es, gender/s and sexuality/ies. This book
crosses new theoretical, empirical and methodological boundaries by
exploring themes and issues such as indigenous histories,
exploitation, the marginalized, race, ethnicity, disability,
counter cultures, transgressions and queering. Offering original
insights into surfing's symbolism, postcolonialism, patriocolonial
whiteness and heteronormativity, its chapters are connected by a
collective aspiration to document sex/es, gender/s and
sexuality/ies as they are shaped by surfing and, importantly, as
they re-shape the many, possibly previously unknown, worlds of
surfing. Surfing, Sex, Genders and Sexualities is fascinating
reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport or
gender and sexuality studies.
