  • Game, Set, Watched: Governance, Social Control and Surveillance in Professional Tennis
    GAME, SET, WATCHED: GOVERNANCE, SOCIAL CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE IN PROFESSIONAL TENNIS By Marie-Pier Guay A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada November, 2013 Copyright © Marie-Pier Guay, 2013 Abstract Contrary to many major sporting leagues such as the NHL, NFL, NBA, and MLB, or the Olympic Games as a whole, the professional tennis industry has not been individually scrutinized in terms of governance, social control, and surveillance practices. This thesis presents an in-depth account of the major governing bodies of the professional tennis circuit with the aim of examining how they govern, control, constrain, and practice surveillance on tennis athletes and their bodies. Foucault’s major theoretical concepts of disciplinary power, governmentality, and bio-power are found relevant today and can be enhanced by Rose’s ethico-politics model and Haggerty and Ericson’s surveillant assemblage. However, it is also shown how Foucault, Rose, and Haggerty and Ericson’s different accounts of “modes of governing” perpetuate sociological predicaments of professional tennis players within late capitalism. These modes of surveillance are founded on a meritocracy based on the ATP and WTA rankings systems. A player’s ranking affects how he or she is governed, surveilled, controlled, and even punished. Despite ostensibly promoting tennis athletes’ health protection and wellbeing, the systems of surveillance, governance, and control rely on a biased and capitalistically-driven meritocracy that actually jeopardizes athletes’ health and contributes to social class divisions, socio- economic inequalities, gender discrimination, and media pressure.

  • Publiekslievelingen Mansour Bahrami En Henri Leconte Nieuwe Namen Optima Open 2013
    Persbericht Publiekslievelingen Mansour Bahrami en Henri Leconte nieuwe namen Optima Open 2013 Knokke-Heist, 24 april – Naast Boris Becker en Yannick Noah, bevestigden nu ook Mansour Bahrami en Henri Leconte hun komst naar Optima Open. Deze toptennissers van weleer zijn nog steeds heel geliefd bij de fans van tennis uit de gloriejaren ’80. Naast een hoogstaand staaltje tennis staan Bahrami en Leconte garant voor enkele matchen vol humor en onvergetelijk tennisplezier. Van 15 tot 18 augustus treden deze voormalige dubbelspelpartners terug in de spotlight voor de nieuwe editie van Optima Open in Knokke- Heist. Mansour Bahrami, afkomstig uit Iran, is een geboren entertainer en hoogstwaarschijnlijk de grappigste figuur uit tennisland. Hij staat bekend om zijn hilarische kunstjes op het tennisveld. Bekijk de compilatie hier. Dit natuurtalent houdt er een uitzonderlijk levensverhaal op na. Bahrami is een selfmade man die al observerend als ballenjongen het spel leerde. Deze graag geziene toptennisser met zijn opvallende snor en aanstekelijke lach leerde tennis spelen met bezemstelen en pannen omdat hij zich geen racket kon veroorloven. Nadat door de Islamitische Revolutie professioneel tennis verboden werd in Iran, vluchtte hij naar Frankrijk. Tijdens Optima Open zal hij elke dag zijn beste tennis laten zien tijdens een dubbelspel. De Fransman Henri Leconte neemt voor de vierde keer deel aan Optima Open en het publiek ziet hem nog altijd graag langskomen. Vorig jaar zorgde hij zelfs voor een kleine verfrissing voor alle toeschouwers op een zinderend hete dag. Bekijk het filmpje hier. De voormalige nummer 5 van de wereld speelde in 1988 de finale van Roland Garros en beleeft nog steeds evenveel plezier aan het spel.
