Also, through a reading of one final sf story it attempts to provide an answer to one of the text’s central questions: why has sf studies not engaged sport before? For all the reasons outlined in prior chapters—fear of bodily limitations and death, culturally constructed monstrosity, historical fear and religio-politics—sf has not performed one of its central tasks: to confront Otherness wherever it may be regardless of the embodied form of that Other. Engaging sport sf, therefore, is an endeavour vital to halting the future creation of social and cultural monsters.","PeriodicalId":399166,"journal":{"name":"Sport and Monstrosity in Science Fiction","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125057338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against this trend, the sf stories, films, and even video games in this chapter highlight the experiences of individual athletes, even in team sports, and the positive role that sport may play in their lives. In this way, it highlights the biological humanity of the athlete over and against the abstraction to which much social criticism condemns them. How, it asks, is sport important to the identity of the individuals who engage them?","PeriodicalId":399166,"journal":{"name":"Sport and Monstrosity in Science Fiction","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126250832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Criticism of sport institutions such as the NCAA, NFL, and Olympic Committee are very popular, particularly within sociological constructivism. This chapter places this criticism in a historical context, suggesting it bears a relationship with a longer history of denigrating the athlete as idolatrous. Engaging stories and films that highlight the interaction of athletes with political, religious, and financial institutions the monstrous athlete emerges as a worthy victim caught in a kind of culture war between those who denigrate them and those who exploit them, sometimes one and the same.","PeriodicalId":399166,"journal":{"name":"Sport and Monstrosity in Science Fiction","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129074230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
