Sinopsis

Blending critical theory, conjunctural cultural studies, and assemblage theory,áMaking Sport Great Againáintroduces and develops the concept ofáuber-sport: the sporting expression of late capitalismâÇÖs conjoined corporatizing, commercializing, spectacularizing, and celebritizing forces.á On different scales and in varying spaces, theáuber-sportáassemblage is revealed both to surreptitiously reinscribe the neoliberal preoccupation with consumption and to nurture the individualized consumer subject. Andrews further probes howáuber-sportánormalizes the ideological orientations and associate affective investments of the Trump assemblageâÇÖs authoritarian populism. Even as it articulates the regressive politicization of sport,áMaking Sport Great Againáserves also as a call to action: how might progressives rearticulateáuber-sportáin emancipatory and actualizing political formations?á
