  • The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by White Rose E-theses Online The Unladylike Ladies of Roller Derby?: How Spectators, Players and Derby Wives Do and Redo Gender and Heteronormativity in All-Female Roller Derby Megan Geneva Murray PhD The University of York Women’s Studies January 2012 Abstract All-female roller derby is a rapidly growing full-contact sport played on quad roller skates, with a highly popularized punk, feminine, sexual and tough aesthetic. Utilising theories on the institution of heterosexuality, I conducted a qualitative study on all-female roller derby which evaluated the way in which derby aligns with or challenges heteronormativity. In order to approach this question, I analysed, firstly, thirty-eight interviews with spectators, and twelve with players about their interactions with spectators. Secondly, I interviewed twenty-six players about the phenomenon of “derby wives,” a term used to describe particular female friendships in roller derby. My findings relate the complex relationship between players and spectators by focusing on: (i) spectators’ interpretations of the dress, pseudonyms, and identities of players, as well as the ways in which they were actively involved in doing gender through their discussions of all-female, coed, and all-male roller derby; (ii) players’ descriptions of their interactions with spectators, family members, romantic partners, friends and strangers, regarding roller derby. Additionally, I address the reformulation of the role “wife” to meet the needs of female players within the community, and “derby wives” as an example of Adrienne Rich’s (1980) “lesbian continuum.” “Derby girls” are described as “super heroes” and “rock stars.” Their pseudonyms are believed to help them “transform” once they take to the track.

  • Dislocated Hip Nothing New for Rahlves,Scotty
    Dislocated hip nothing new for Rahlves By ESPN ASPEN, Colo. — U.S. Olympic freestyle skier Daron Rahlves dislocated his right hip after a nasty wreck in his opening skicross race Sunday at the Winter X Games, an injury that could hurt his chances of going to Vancouver. But a doctor who checked him out at the scene was optimistic about Rahlves’ prognosis after the crash that resulted in the 36-year-old’s fourth hip dislocation. Daron Rahlves Rahlves, slated for his fourth Olympics, was putting pressure on the hip only hours after the accident. U.S. Ski and Snowboard officials said he was treated for a hip injury at the hospital and released late Sunday afternoon. The doctor who treated him after the wreck said the fact this is Rahlves’ fourth dislocation should make the injury more manageable. Read the whole story Scotty Bahrke leads U.S. in World Cup aerials By USSA MONT GABRIEL, Quebec City — Scotty Bahrke (Tahoe City, CA) took a season-best ninth place to lead the U.S. Team in FIS World Cup Cup aerials action Saturday in Quebec.

  • Roller Derby Changed My Life’: Rethinking Marxist Theory of Emancipatory Praxis Through a Case Study of Women’S Flat-Track Roller Derby
    91,500 words ‘Roller derby changed my life’: Rethinking Marxist theory of emancipatory praxis through a case study of women’s flat-track roller derby Polly Lisa Bennett (nee Lisa Farrance) B Social Science (RMIT University) MA Global Media Communication (University of Melbourne) November 2020 Institute of Sustainable Industries and Liveable Cities Victoria University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Roller derby and emancipatory praxis 2 Abstract This thesis develops upon theories of alienation, social reproduction, ideology and emancipation through a study of how roller derby changes skaters’ lives. The thesis focuses on research participants’ experiences of their bodies within a women-led sport that rejects mainstream conceptions of femininity. It demonstrates how a reimagining of the body through physical activity in an alternative, liberating and mutually-supportive subculture can lead to a renewed sense of power and a rejection of internalised ideological constraints. The thesis describes a five-year, ethnographic case study of roller derby in and around Melbourne, Australia. The thesis draws upon observation of major events, and in-depth interviews with a selection of local skaters and visiting international coaches and organisers, all of whom identified with the saying ‘roller derby changed my life’. The skaters’ life changes are various: leaving abusive relationships; coming out as same-sex attracted or transgender; changing their appreciation for their bodies; or ‘finally finding myself’. The thesis asks, why? It discovered several, inter-connected responses. First, freedom and fulfilment come from becoming physically strong but also competent in a technically difficult sport. Skaters coming to understand what the body can do, for the first time in their lives, is common even to those starting out.

  • All-Americans Chosen from Outstanding Tech Team
    MEN'S TRACK All-Americans Chosen From Outstanding Tech Team One has only to glance at the 1987 men's track team statistics to realize what an impressive showing they made. In ad- dition to team accomplishments, the Jackets had several notable standouts at the national level. James Purvis, Alan Drosky, and Eric Smith were the three All- Americans chosen from the Tech squad. In addition, the Jackets had four people qualify for the Indoor Nationals, and five people qualify for the Outdoor Nationals. The Jackets also sent six runners to the prestigious Penn Relays. It was ACC competition that really in- spired the Jackets to some very notable achievements. At the ACC meet, the Jackets had more first and second place finishes than any other school at the meet, finishing in third place overall, a mere five points from second. At the end of the season, nine of the Tech tracksters had been chosen to the All-Conference team, the most ever in Tech's outdoor track history. Front Row: Eric Smith, Emi Walters, Jeff Prainito, Mike Taylor, Jerry Gilchrist, Steve Brown, Paul Patrick, Milton Woodward, Brian Crumbo, Erik Larsen. 2nd Row: BOTTOM, LEFT TO RIGHT: Tech sprinter fires out of Mike Price, Ted Scalia, Sean McDonald, Maurice Morrison, Mark Pickens, Maurice Davis, Curtis Crocker, Matt Haynes, Scott Olinger, Chester Riggins. 3rd Row: the blocks.
