Sport in Malaysia: National Imperatives and Western Seductions
Professional sport has been radically altered by global capitalism, expanding from its once highly localized origins into an increasingly internationalized, mediatized, and commoditized cultural form. Like other commodities, sport has branched out from saturated domestic markets in the West. The rapid development of Asian economies has witnessed a wave of economic and cultural modernization, and the subsequent emergence of middle-class consumptio…
When Becks came to Sydney: Multiple readings of a sport celebrity
The November 2007 visit of David Beckham to Sydney attracted unprecedented mainstream media coverage for the developing sport of association football (soccer) in Australia, starkly emphasizing the increasingly globalized nature of sports consumption. As an Englishman playing for a relatively obscure American club in a ‘friendly’ match in Australia, the combination of capital and symbol circulation evident in Beckham's visit produced a new variati…
Australia: Mediated Representation of Global Politics
This essay tracks selected Australian print, online and television coverage of the 2008 Olympic torch relay at various stages and places between Greece and the Chinese mainland. Initial reference is made to the Olympic Charter, and to the political and philosophical issues that it (directly and indirectly) invokes. Host cities and nations are then appraised in relation to matters of concern both domestically and in the international sphere. It is…
A Very Olympian Year! The Observation from Australia
This paper reflects on the mediated cultural politics of the Beijing Olympics through analysis of selected Australian print, online and television coverage. It demonstrates that media coverage of major sports events such as the Olympics is linked to the particular concerns of each country, while also displaying elements of internationalism and globalism. The 2008 games provided an opportunity to ‘interrogate’ the current condition and trajectory …
Sport, Media, and Consumption in Asia: A Merchandised Milieu
The saturation of Western media sport markets has prompted a turn to the predominantly youthful, increasingly urbanized cultural milieu associated with forms of "aspirational" middle-class consumption of globalized Western sport. Asia has become a prime target for the expansionary strategies of some of the world's most powerful professional sports leagues, teams, and media conglomerates. Although other media and cultural industry sectors in Asia,…
Global sport: Where Wembley Way meets Bollywood Boulevard
As sport has circulated around the globe, its practice and expression have both replicated its established (and substantially Western-dominated) power formation, and to varying degrees challenged and modified it. The growing popularity of these sports-entertainment cultures reflects emergent media and leisure economies combining global aspirational cosmopolitanism with local cultural identities and histories. These multiple modes of cultural adap…
Getting a ticket to the world party: Televising soccer in Australia
Australia currently has the world’s most restrictive legislation designed to protect sports content of national and cultural significance from subscription television exclusivity. Despite this powerful ‘anti‐siphoning’ regime, association football (soccer) has been systematically removed from Australian free‐to‐air television screens through a combination of regulatory neglect and influence peddling; a lingering ethnocentric disdain for the sport…
