Näin ollen useille vapaaottelijoille vaikuttaa olevan yhä tärkeämpää esiintyä julkisesti siten, että heidän käytöksensä houkuttelisi mahdollisimman paljon maksavia asiakkaita katsomaan heidän otteluitaan sekä itse ottelutapahtumiin että maksullisten TV- ja internet-palveluiden välityksellä. Tyypillisesti tällainen käytös sisältää oman itsen julkituomista mahdollisimman maskuliinisesti ja itsevarmasti sekä kilpakumppanien esittämistä muun muassa fyysisesti ja urheilullisilta kyvyiltään alempiarvoisina. Tämän ilmiön keskiössä voidaan nähdä olevan kieli, jonka avulla ottelijat rakentavat itselleen julkisia identiteettejä sekä myös määräävät niitä muille. Diskurssianalyysin keinoja -

BUILDING THE NEW WEST This report is part of the Canada West Foundation’s Building the New West Project, a multi-year research and public consultation initiative focused on the strategic positioning of western Canada within the global economy. Five key priorities emerged from an extensive research and consultation process and provide a framework for the Building the New West Project: • the West must create the tools to attract, retain and build HUMAN CAPITAL; • the West must continue ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION; • the West must strengthen its TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE; • the West must promote the global competitiveness of its MAJOR CITIES; and • the West must develop new ways of facilitating REGIONAL COORDINATION. To learn more about the BNW Project, please visit the Canada West Foundation website (www.cwf.ca).
