    Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century by Kelsey Blair M.A., University of British Columbia, 2014 M.A., University of Toronto, 2010 B.A., University of British Columbia, 2007 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Kelsey Blair 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

  • Mini-Basket Rules Version 1.0 2015
    April Official Mini-Basket Rules Version 1.0 2015 As approved by Canada Basketball Toronto, Canada, 2015 Valid as of September 2015 Endorsements: This document is the ideal resource for administrators, coaches, athletes and parents who want to maximize the use of 3v3 or 4v4 basketball competition. It clearly captures the WHO -- WHAT -- WHY -- and HOW of 3 versus 3 participation. This has been achieved based on a blend of research, theory, forward thinking and practical application. The authors’ information stretches the boundaries of perception and opens new avenues for youth development. Provided you are willing to open your mind 100 percent to this revolutionary procedure, for teaching, learning, participating and growing the game; this manual is for YOU. Critical focus has been applied to these vital factors that will create emotional engagement. Those factors are: • Fun • Authentic participation • Directed Competition • Learning • Skill development • Personal success This primer could not come at a more opportune time, as 3X3 takes on Global relevance. Surely 3X3 will conclude with an elevation in status to an Olympic Game Competition. Thus, I recommend you use this Mini-Basket resource as an on-going reference and guide to youth in competition and development. Its wisdom will positively impact you. George Raveling Director NIKE International Basketball Global Sports Marketing All of Raveling’s international work with basketball was recognized in 2015 as he was awarded the John W. Bunn Lifetime Achievement Award by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. And on September 11th, 2015 Raveling was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. 3 “It’s exciting to see what Canada Basketball has done with the development of Mini-Basket.
