The COVID-19 pandemic threw a blunt reminder that the nation's—and the world's—political economy cannot survive without collegiate tournaments, national championships, and international games, which forged ahead amid surreal circumstances. The hopelessly capitalist sports culture, accompanied by the objectification, regulation, surveillance, and valuation of the body witnessed in no other field, shapes the discourse and experience of the racialized, gendered, sexualized bodies for all involved. Sports has been a powerful instrument of nation building, colonialism, occupation, and empire as well as of assertion of sovereignty, autonomy, and pleasure. These intersecting forces of sports culture make it a prime subject for American studies, and many scholars have long undertaken critical studies of sports. That research is now flourishing, and few scholars of sports need to worry about their subject not being taken seriously as they once did, at least in American studies. Yet such scholarship often sits in separate disciplines and fields, such as sociology, history, gender and sexuality studies, and media studies. Furthermore, while scholars of sports routinely use critical tools central to American studies today, the reverse has not necessarily been the case: Joseph Darda and Amira Rose Davis, the editors of this special issue, incisively point out \"the absence of sports from the study of American empire\" in their introduction. With \"The Body Issue: Sports and the Politics of Embodiment,\" Darda and Davis bring these conversations together to showcase what \"the body issue\" is today and what is at stake. While they are well cognizant of the historiography of earlier scholarship in which certain sports such as cricket, baseball, and football dominated as objects of study, the guest editors' framing of the issue and the contributors' inquiries move beyond existing scholarship, not only in terms of the specific sports but also in methodological tools and approaches at the forefront of American studies, e.g., Black studies, critical refugee studies, digital media studies, disability studies, queer and trans studies, and surveillance studies. The essays themselves embody the beauty and vigor of the sports culture they critically examine. Together they convincingly illustrate that, in the guest editors' words, \"Sports are fundamental to how we know our bodies and, therefore, ourselves and the world through which we move.\" Darda and Davis have been exceptional in their professionalism throughout the editorial process, clearing every hurdle, landing every jump, and reaching [End Page v] the finish line with force and grace. On behalf of the Board of Managing Editors, I thank them for proposing and realizing this highly original and timely special issue.

Field observations and ethnographic analysis identify how soccer communities provide Latinx women access to homosocial spaces through the social networks they create on and off the fields. The relationships and interactions of the participants in women's leagues serve as case studies of the radical homo-intimate formations within the Latinx community. The amalgamation of homonormative and heteronormative identities within women's teams alludes to the tacit treatment of sexuality within leisure sporting community spaces. The narratives of league women grant an auxiliary conceptualization of Latinx identity formation and negotiations of belonging outside the frameworks of the traditional Latino community and the hegemonic gender and sexual body politics of the US state.","PeriodicalId":51543,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN QUARTERLY","volume":"75 1","pages":"567 - 588"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43049229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Muslim American Protest Iconography and Revisionism: On the Gendered-Racial and Secular Aesthetics of (Neo)Liberal Dissent","authors":"Najwa Mayer","doi":"10.1353/aq.2023.a898161","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/aq.2023.a898161","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:In this essay, I account for the continuum of inclusion, regulation, and historical revision formative to \"Muslim American\" iconography in the late war on terror era. In 2017, a poster of a South Asian Muslim American woman wearing a hijab in the style of the United States flag was touted by transnational media as \"the face of the Trump resistance\" and carried across pro-immigration and feminist protests that imagined a more inclusive state. It was also rebuked by Muslims for desanctifying the hijab through the US flag, perceived as symbol of the state's settler-imperial violence. Tracing the poster's production—from its source artwork to its distinct revisions—and mass circulations, I consider the intersections of race, gender, and secularism in US politics, markets, and aesthetics. I situate the poster within uneven neoliberal art markets that commodify dissent as well as flexible genealogies of secular arts and civil religion, which racially discipline Islam into an aesthetic of the US state and its resistances. I then focus on the poster's mobilization in the Women's March on Washington, where Muslim women, Islam, and transnational solidarities with Palestine became subjects of feminist inclusion and contention. I argue the shifting aesthetics of gendered-racial and secular (neo)liberalism converge on Muslim American iconographies of protest and inclusion while managing the terms of Muslim protest and inclusion.","PeriodicalId":51543,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN QUARTERLY","volume":"75 1","pages":"309 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45786390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"On Eating, Critical Distance, and Qallunaat Cosmology","authors":"Nadia Chana","doi":"10.1353/aq.2023.a898158","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/aq.2023.a898158","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:This essay produces a reading of Qallunaat—glossed as white people, or sometimes non-Inuit—as they come into view via two things: their relationships with Inuit and with animals, and their reactions to Inuit relationships with animals. Alongside three filmic texts that appear—especially to those who follow Qallunaat conventions—to be about Inuit and Inuit practices of hunting and eating seals, this essay reads against the (perceived) grain to shine the spotlight on Qallunaat: What can the tensions between eating and critical distance tell us about Qallunaat cosmology? The three filmic texts in question are the Qallunaaq filmmaker Robert Flaherty's 1922 Nanook of the North, the first full-length documentary film; the Inuk performer Tanya Tagaq's 2012 Nanook of the North, in which Tagaq rewrites Flaherty's version by adding a live soundtrack; and Tungijuq, a 2009 film by Félix Lajeunesse and Paul Raphaël in which Tagaq stars and whose screenplay she co-wrote. This essay also performs its reading: Tagaq becomes the theorist who leads us in equal parts through these filmic texts and through the thick, fleshy contexts in which they are embedded. I, neither Inuk nor Qallunaaq, take on a hyperbolized critical distance as a quasi-anthropologist. Qallunaat proclivities are eagerly displayed.","PeriodicalId":51543,"journal":{"name":"AMERICAN QUARTERLY","volume":"75 1","pages":"229 - 250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47007461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
