摘要:
This article is an examination of how femininity, masculinity and physicality
are created and (re)presented within the English tabloid press. In identifying m
echanisms for the construction and maintenance of (hegemonic) femininity and
masculinity within sport, a gendered sports formula has been developed to
analyse and explain sports coverage within this particular medium. Copies of
the Sun and Mirror newspapers were collected and analysed over the course of
the summer of 2000. The study highlights that idealized conceptualizations of
femininity and masculinity are prevalent within the dominant narratives of
both publications, not least through the disproportionate ratio of male/female
sports coverage where only 5.9 percent of the sports reporting focused upon
women's sport. Our analysis of this mechanism is explicated through focusing
upon one of the most photographed athletes in the world today, the Russian
tennis player Anna Kournikova. Kournikova, we posit, is the most powerful
symbol of the masculinity/femininity nexus within media sport and accounted
for one-third of all articles on women's sport. She is presented as the
masculinists' transcendent image of the idiosyncratic sportswoman, whereby
masculinity is maintained through ideological representations of femininity.
While the analysis does not focus exclusively on Kournikova, it is argued
that she, more than any other athlete, epitomizes the gendered sports formula
within the tabloid press.
