Sporting Realities
Despite the increasing number of popular and celebrated sports documentaries in contemporary culture, such as ESPNâs 30 for 30 series, there has been little scholarly engagement with this genre. Sports documentaries, like all films, do not merely showcase objective reality but rather construct specific versions of sporting culture that serve distinct economic, industrial, institutional, historical, and sociopolitical ends ripe for criticism, contextualization, and exploration.
Sporting Realities brings together a diverse group of scholars to probe the sports documentaryâs cultural meanings, aesthetic practices, industrial and commercial dimensions, and political contours across historical, social, medium-specific, and geographic contexts. It considers and critiques the sports documentaryâs visible and powerful position in contemporary culture and forges novel connections between the study of nonfiction media and sport.
