Le genre, la race et le rêve américain dans les représentations cinématographiques du football américain
Cet article explore la représentation du football américain au cinéma à travers les prismes du genre, de la race et du rêve américain. De The Freshman (1925) à The Blind Side (2009), le sport y incarne une fabrique de la masculinité et un vecteur d’ascension sociale.

During this period the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) enjoyed a boom in numbers of players and supporters, thus confirming hurling and Gaelic football as the definitively Irish national games and the association itself as the most popular mass mov…
Sport and the Media in Ireland
[Introduction to Media History Special Issue on Sport and the Media in Ireland]. The symbiotic relationship that has existed since the mid-nineteenth century between sport and the media - from the popular press, through newsreels and radio, to television, and beyond - is so well established as hardly to require comment. However, the very familiarity of this long and successful marriage should not blind us to its abiding, and abidingly remarkable,…
