“A Matter of Balls: Sport, Masculinity, and Popular Culture in Latin America”
Instructor: Alfio Saitta (asaitta@indiana.edu)
Few human activities parallel sport’s ability to transverse cultural and political boundaries. In Latin America, sport is without a doubt a passion for millions, an enormous business, and ultimately, an imposing cultural phenomenon deserving close study. This course will focus on the development of professional sports as a social phenomenon and its relation to political life. Specifically the class will center on sports and its influence on the formation, shaping, and maintenance of gender identities in the region. The class will approach the study of sport using methods drawn from history, anthropology, sociology, gender and cultural studies.
