Abstract

As one of the most widely celebrated documentaries about female athletes to date, The Heart of the Game remains an important text to examine for the ways it represents female athletic experience and encourages audiences to consider gender issues in sport. Such an investigation is particularly apt, given how sports documentaries authenticate particular viewpoints while being understood by audiences as historical reflections of reality. Although the film is praiseworthy for exposing the cultural construction of gender as well as some ways gender ideologies hamper female athletic success, this essay argues that The Heart of the Game’s progressive agenda is ultimately undercut by its simultaneous reproduction of gender and racial ideologies that actually marginalize women and girls in sport.
游戏的核心:女孩、体育和“赋权”的极限
作为迄今为止最著名的关于女运动员的纪录片之一,《游戏的核心》仍然是一个重要的文本,它代表了女性运动经历的方式,并鼓励观众考虑体育中的性别问题。考虑到体育纪录片如何证实特定的观点,同时被观众理解为对现实的历史反映,这样的调查特别合适。尽管这部电影因揭露性别的文化建构以及性别意识形态阻碍女性运动成功的某些方式而值得称赞,但本文认为,《游戏之心》的进步议程最终被它同时再现的性别和种族意识形态所削弱,而这些意识形态实际上使妇女和女孩在体育运动中边缘化。
