520 "Nonfiction films about sports have been around for
decades, but the previously neglected subgenre of the
documentary has become increasingly popular in the last
several years. Despite such recent successes as Senna,
Undefeated, and ESPN's 30 for 30 series, however, few
scholarly articles have been published on these works. In
Gender and Genre in Sports Documentaries, editors Zachary
Ingle and David M. Sutera have assembled essays that
examine the various aspects of this art form. Some address
questions of gender and sexuality, specifically how
masculinity and homosexuality are represented in sports
documentaries. Others focus on the characteristics of
these films, exploring aspects of aesthetics and
narrative. In addition to chapters on basketball, football,
baseball, boxing, tennis, and auto racing, this collection
features marginalized sports like quad rugby, pro
wrestling, live action role playing (LARPing), and
bodybuilding. Some of the films described will be familiar
to readers, such as Murderball and Bigger Stronger Faster;
others are less well-known yet important works worthy of
scrutiny. Questions about gender, sexuality, and
masculinity remain hot topics in sports discourse and this
collection tackles those subjects, making Gender and Genre
in Sports Documentaries an intriguing read for scholars,
students, and the general public alike."--Publisher's
