Comments and Predictions on Female Olympian and Paralympian Events. 000940342 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 000940342 520__ $$aFemale Olympian and Paralympian Events is a groundbreaking book that examines women's sports in the Olympic and Paralympic Games, which have long been underappreciated and under-analyzed. The book begins with a brief background on women's participation in the Olympic Games and their role relative to the International Olympic Committee, then introduces the underlying Gendered Critical Discourse Analysis theory used throughout the book's analysis before delving into a literature review of female Olympians and Paralympians' events. It includes a listing of noteworthy "firsts" in the field, followed by individual discussions of twenty-eight Summer and seven Winter events, analyzed according to their historical, rhetorical, and popular cultural representations. Women's unique role(s) in the various events are discussed, particular athletes and Paralympic events are highlighted, and original tables are also included. At the end of each section, affiliated organizations and resources are included in this invaluable referential volume. 000940342 650_0 $$aCommunication. 000940342 650_0 $$aSports$$xSociological aspects. 000940342 650_0 $$aPeople with disabilities. 000940342 650_0 $$aCulture. 000940342 650_0 $$aPopular culture. 000940342 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319767918 000940342 852__ $$bebk 000940342 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-76792-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000940342 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:940342$$pGLOBAL_SET 000940342 980__ $$aEBOOK 000940342 980__ $$aBIB 000940342 982__ $$aEbook 000940342 983__ $$aOnline 000940342 994__ $$a92$$bISE
