| Title: | Konstruksjon av kjønn og seksualitet i en dramaturgisk idrettskontekst |
| Authors: | Lippe, Gerd von der |
| Issue Date: | 2003 |
| Abstract: | This article focuses on how the dominating gender and sexualized order is
reproduced, and on how new constellations between femininities and
masculinities are constructed in the elite sports media. The point of
departure is a drama in the Norwegian national papers, VG and
Dagbladet, in April 1997, about whether Anja Andersen, a Dane, should
play for the Norwegian handballclub, Bækkelagets Sportsklubb, or the
Spanish club, Valencia Urbana. Other central agents were the captain of
the team, Susann Goksør, and the coach, Frode Kyvåg.
The article relates the idea of the dominating gender and sexualized order
and the notion of ambivalence to Pierre Bourdieu, Jorunn Solheim,
Jennifer Hargreaves and perspectives from Judith Butler. The dominating
gender and sexualized order may be interpreted as an enormous symbolic
machine of masculine dominance, an order taken for granted as the
«natural world» and not reflected upon - and therefore not questioned.
According to Wencke Mühleisen, the signs of gender and sexuality of
today are much more fluid, unstable and ambivalent than earlier, with the
barriers between femininities and masculinities woven in new
constellations. The article also deals with the non-conventional and what may be understood as queer in relation to the gendered stereotypes and
the «heterosexual matrix». |
