Beyond the pitch
This article examines how the baseball/softball field serves as a site for negotiating belonging among the Dutch Caribbean diaspora in the Netherlands. Drawing on a postcolonial framework and cultural studies, it showcases how Dutch Caribbean club members negotiate questions of identity, home, and belonging within the continental Dutch baseball and softball communities. Using a narrative analysis of 12 interviews and participant observations thro…
Representing Churandy
This study examines the mediatized (self-)representations in Dutch media of Churandy Martina, a sprint athlete from the Dutch Caribbean island of Curaçao and a prominent figure in Dutch Olympic delegations between 2012 and 2024. Within this period, Martina was ostensibly embraced by European Dutch audiences to an unprecedented level for Black Dutch Caribbean athletes, whose presence in Dutch Olympic delegations has risen in recent years due to co…
Race in televised football
From studio to screen
In this study, we shed light on the relationship between the production processes in televised football in Poland and representations of race/ethnicity. Previous research has extensively explored representations of race/ethnicity in mediated sports texts, but there remains a gap in understanding the production processes and their connection to these representations, particularly in contexts beyond the Anglosphere. In order to address this gap, in…
Meanings given to race/ethnicity in everyday football talk by young adult Polish audiences
A wide body of research has focused on representations of race/ethnicity in sport media content, because of its central location in popular culture. These studies found that sport media content serves as a site where hegemonic and reductive discourses surrounding racial/ethnic identities are habitually reproduced. So far, these studies have predominantly been textual analyses. Studies that take into account the polysemic readings of media content…
Meanings given to (super-)diversity in the Dutch national team by Dutch football commentators
International football can be considered the main site for meaning-making processes related to national and racial/ethnic diversity. Various scholars have argued how international football, with the World Cup as its apex, can be seen as a barometer for understanding dominant attitudes towards societal diversity. A key domain where this diversity is interpreted and given meaning to is mediated football. To provide a wider overview of - often inter…
Representations of race/ethnicity and the nation
This study explores the meanings given to race/ethnicity by Polish commentators covering games of the Polish national football team on TV. There will be an explicit focus on how such patterns of representation might intersect with those given to national identities in the context of international football. Our analysis reveals that commentators habitually reproduce the racialized stereotype of the 'natural Black athlete', particularly in the repr…
Sport media and the cultural circulation of race/ethnicity
The racial/ethnic diversity that can be seen in televised football, together with its wide audience, makes it an interesting place to study meanings given to race/ethnicity. Previous research on the content of these discourses has found that televised football in different countries reproduces a variety of racial/ethnic stereotypes. These discourses arguably help to perpetuate and ‘naturalize’ racial/ethnic inequities. In order to better illumina…
Prejudice in the People’s Game
This study explores how televised football in Poland serves as a site for the (re)construction of discourses surrounding race and ethnicity and to what extent this squares with previous studies on sport media conducted mainly in Western countries. In our analysis, we identify the discourses surrounding race and ethnicity that the commentators in televised football draw on and examine how they relate to hegemonic discourses and categorizations in …
