Can Esports Substitute Traditional Sports? The Convergence of Sports and Video Gaming during the Pandemic and Beyond
This research examines the various ways that video games, particularly esports, have been leveraged for content production and fan engagement (i.e., gamification) in traditional sports during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as sports fans’ reactions in relation to their motives, points of attachment, and other consumer behavior. The study presents a sports–gaming convergence framework and identifies six popular gamification modes where video games…
The transition game: Toward a cultural economy of football in post-socialist China
Following decades of significant economic and political reform, a once-closed China has emerged as the world's fastest growing and arguably most interconnected political economic system. In the context of what has been termed a 'post-socialist' transition, China's sport system has similarly undergone rapid marketization (bringing in market actors and action). In this article, we examine the changing state and function of football (soccer) within …
Blue Skies Over Beijing: Olympics, Environments, and the People’s Republic of China
During the 2008 Olympic Games, after years of environmental regulations, two months of short-term measures, and opportune weather, Beijing measured a record number of “blue sky days,” at the same time reassuring international athletes and journalists the air was safe for competition and Beijing residents. We use this case to understand how environmental objectives are achieved in sport. Using Bruno Latour’s object-oriented political ecology, we d…
Flying Solo: Globalization, Neoliberal Individualism, and the Contested Celebrity of Li Na
In this article, we examine the local–global celebrity politics of former Chinese professional tennis player Li Na. We locate Li Na as representative of a growing class of Chinese celebrities who display both extraordinary popularity and enormous marketability. At the same time, Li Na’s noted “rebelliousness”—most especially her “fiery” personality and overt public repudiation of the Chinese communist state—has made her a deeply politicized if no…
Ye Shiwen, collective memory, and the 2012 London Olympic games: Notes on the production and consumption of national victimhood
The idea of ‘collective victimhood’, as a cultural and political identity, has long been cultivated by the state within the construction of Chinese nationalism. Through a case study analysis of Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen, this study examines the cultural pedagogy behind the national production and consumption of such ‘victimhood’. We argue that the allegations of Ye Shiwen’s doping by Western media in 2012 London Olympics animates a deep sense of …
