When Gender Does Not Matter. The Non/Normative Bodies in the Discourse of Nationality and Sports success
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.18778/1733-8069.11.2.06Keywords:
Sport, Gender, Nationality, Success, Non/Normative BodyAbstract
The article presents how the perception of non-normative corporeality changes when gender intersects with the category of nationality and (the lack of) success. It discusses how both of these factors, nationality and success, affect: (1) the choices made by the audience of sports events, (2) the perception of the appearance of individual athletes, and (3) the perception of sport as feminine versus masculine. The article is based on the intersectionality concept and refers to the author’s own research conducted in 2012 and 2013, as well as to the discourse analysis of the selected cases studies.
