خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Redefining Sports Media

This book argues that the examination of  sports media within cultural and media studies is organized around more  than just a shared topic: mediated sports.

What  count as “sports media” in journals, books, and conferences are  extremely diverse; they can cover athlete expression on social media,  shoe commercials, gender in sports commentary, Indigenous name change  activists, and fantasy sports. Besides being mediated and, in some  cases, loosely connected to sports events and leagues, it is hard to see  what they all share that could serve as the foundation for a unified  field of study. Jason Kido Lopez argues that sports media are defined by  genre, which is reflected in their industries, within their content,  and by their audiences. Throughout the media and cultural complex,  sports and sports media are built on the genre of live and real  competition and, therefore, to study sports media is to study that  genre. Each chapter will explore how the genre is constructed in  commodification of mediated sport, representation within sports media,  athlete expression, sports fandom, and gaming around sports.

This  book will be of interest to those studying sports media as well as  media and cultural studies, but also can be used as an introductory  survey of the research on sports media from a media and cultural studies  perspective.
