Sport, Migration, and Gender in the Neoliberal Age
This ethnographic collection explores how neoliberalism has permeated the bodies, subjectivities, and gender of youth around the world as global sport industries have expanded their reach into marginal areas, luring young athletes with the dream of pursuing athletic careers in professional leagues of the Global North. Neoliberalism has reconfigured sport since the 1980s, as sport clubs and federations have become for-profit businesses, in conjunc…
Good Players" or "Good People: Masculinities, Mobilities, and Class in Argentinian Rugby
Los clubes de elite en Buenos Aires utilizaron el rugby amateur para la formación de la clase y la masculinidad, definiendo a la profesionalización deportiva representada en el popular fútbol como una alteridad moral. Cuando el rugby se profesionalizó internacionalmente en 1995, los clubes reaccionaron de modo defensivo, prohibiendo que quienes habían jugado en el exterior participen en las uniones locales. Examinamos las reacciones de las elites…
Nacionalismos deportivos con “clase”: El rugby argentino en la era profesional/global
Men’s rugby in Buenos Aires is going through a phase of professionalization and globalization which is blurring the long-standing link between that sport and the upper-middle and upper classes of the city.

Many young itaukei (indigenous) Fijian men train daily in the hope of becoming professional rugby athletes, despite the difficulty of this unpaid work and the uncertainty of the overseas careers to which they aspire. Rugby players and their families draw on a sense of destiny grounded in three ideologies of success to understand and control their futures. First, many view rugby in terms of an indigenous warrior ideal imagined as innate to itaukei…
Rethinking Masculinity in the Neoliberal Order: Cameroonian Footballers, Fijian Rugby Players, and Senegalese Wrestlers
In the Global South since the 1980s, when economic downturns under pressure from the forces of neoliberalism eroded social relations, sport and athletes' bodies have become major loci where masculinity is constituted and debated. Sport masculinity now fills a vacuum left by the evacuation of traditional forms of masculinity, which are no longer available to the new generations of men. For them, the possibility of employment in the sport industrie…
Nation, Nationalism, and Sport: Fijian Rugby in the Local–Global Nexus
The changing architecture of the professional rugby union has created a seeming contradiction in Fijian nationalism: the best Fijian rugby players are now representing other nations and yet remain national heroes regarded by many Fijians as the embodiment of masculine indigenous Fijian ideals. Fijian ideologies about rugby problematize Benedict Anderson’s celebrated but problematic understanding of the nation as based on a territorially bounded, …

Brexit Referendum: First reactions from anthropology
Brexit Referendum: first reactions from anthropologyMy immediate reaction to the results of the British Referendum on leaving or remaining in the EU was to remember Alexei Yurchak's book, Everything was forever, until it was no more (Yurchak 2006).In the book, Yurchak describes the feeling of many people in Russia when the Soviet Union broke up: it came as a complete shock because they thought it would never happen; but once it had happened, it w…
