New
Publication
Dr Tara
Magdalinski, Programme Director of the Centre for Sports Studies, has
recently published her first single authored book, Sport,
Technology and the Body: The Nature of Performance (Routledge, 2009).
This volume examines cultural resistance to
the enhancement of athletes and explores the ways in which performance
technologies complicate and confound our conception of the sporting body.
It addresses concerns about the technological "invasion" of the
"natural" body to investigate expectations that athletic
performances reflect nothing more than the actual capacity of the
untainted athlete. By examining a series of case studies, including
Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, Fastskin swimsuits, hypoxic chambers
and an array of illicit substances and methods, the book distinguishes
between internal and external technologies to highlight the ways that
performance enhancement, and public reaction to it, can be read.
