Women's Artistic Gymnastics
In recent years, media coverage of women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) has increased immensely. On the one hand, a reason for this is its rising popularity in many countries; tickets for international championships sell out quickly, and TV ratings also indicate that WAG enjoys a large, stable fan base. On the other hand, WAG has stirred enormous controversy. The conviction of Larry Nassar, the US gymnastics team doctor, for sexually abusing female …
An Interview with Olaf Stieglitz
His scholarship focuses mainly on the history of gender and the body, with a particular focus on embodiment in sport from the 1890s to the 1940s. His main publications include a history of information and denunciation in the United States (Undercover: Die Kultur der Denunziation in den USA, Campus Verlag, 2013) that not only examines various high marks of the culture of information in American society-from the creation of the FBI, wartime periods…
The Hunter Elite
In this book, Tara Kathleen Kelly does a remarkable job in blending the histories of Progressive Era hunting, gender, publishing, and the environment. She successfully defends her thesis that a group of white, elite men with privileged access to publishing and especially to the periodical market established a popular and influential hunting narrative that not only transformed recreational hunting into useful manly labor but also drove American mi…

Using the widely distributed books and magazines from the publishing empire of Bernarr Macfadden as an exemplary case study, the article argues that fitness culture was effective and prod…
Fight Sports and American Masculinity
In the preface to Fight Sports and American Masculinity Christopher David Thrasher argues strongly in favor of integrating a serious examination of the relationship of masculinity and forms of violence into sports history. He promises even more—a survey of four hundred years of “fight sports” (boxing and various forms of wrestling and martial arts) and an elaboration on how “popular culture provides a place of cultural negotiation where Americans…
The knowledge of betrayal
Taking Mario Van Peebles's feature film Panther (1995) as a starting point, this paper explores the significance of betrayal and the figure of the informant/informer in (mostly autobiographical) texts authored by members of the Black Panther Party. It argues that in constructing memory, it seems that integrating one's experiences or perceptions of mistrust, deception, and betrayal is a valuable narrative device to evaluate the meaning of politica…
