Sporting Performances is the first anthology to tackle sports and
physical culture from a performance perspective; it serves as an
invitation and provocation for scholarly discourse on the
connections between sports and physical culture, and theatre and
performance. Through a series of intriguing case studies that blur
the lines between the realms of politics, sports, physical culture,
and performance, this book assumes that sporting performances, much
like theatre, serve as barometers, mirrors, and refractors of the
culture in which they are enmeshed. Some of the topics include
nineteenth-century variety show pugilists, athletes on Broadway,
sumo wrestlers, rhythmic gymnasts, and Strava enthusiasts. While
analyzing sport through the lens of theatre and performance, this
anthology reflects on how physical culture and sports contribute to
identity formation and the effects of nuanced imprints of physical
activity on the mind, soul, and tongue. Written primarily for those
interested in physical fitness, sports, dance, and physical
theatre, this interdisciplinary volume is a crucial tool for
Performance and Theatre Studies students and those in the fields of
Sports Studies, Cultural Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, and
American Studies more broadly.
