Call for Participants | Dunja Antunovic: “Time to Award Medals? Agenda Diversity in Media Coverage of the Olympics” | Iowa Colloquium on Sport and Culture. Webinar on Zoom, October 6,...
In this talk, I examine the implications of social media platforms in relation to agenda diversity during the Olympic Games. I overview recent datapoints on representations of sport, gender, and national identity from multiple contexts (e.g., United States, Australia, Slovenia, Croatia, and Hungary) to illustrate that nationalism continues to be a driving force in coverage, albeit with local particularities. I problematize notions of “gender equality” in media representations that obscure gendered nationalism and perpetuate “us versus them” divisions.
