    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.
