Sport on Screen
Sport comprises an array of human activities from individual leisure and play to multi-billion-dollar industries. Because of this variety, it is unsurprising that it should intersect so frequently and in so many ways with screen-based media. This course investigates aspects of the sport-screen nexus through examinations of, among other topics, representations of class, race, gender, and nation in screen-based media from videogames to television, social media to film, including documentary, experimental, animation, and drama.
