MEST 4 Task 2: Sports and the traditions of feminism theory essay
Quotes:
Most people do not want to be re-described. They want to be taken on their own terms - taken seriously just as they are and just as they talk... the best way to cause people long-lasting pain is to humiliate them by making the things that seemed most important to them look futile, obsolete and powerless. consider what happens when a child's precious possession - the little things around which he weaves his fantasies that make him a little different from all other children - are described as 'trash', and thrown away or consider what happens when those possessions are made to look ridiculous alongside the possessions of another richer child.

MEST 4 Task 2: Sport and postmodern times
Quotes:
This work, among other things, is an examination of the thrust of sports into our everyday life, a rendering of lived experiences at large in a sea of conflicted and collapsing hierarchies, and an attempted end run around the assault of cultural studies sensibilities as they travel to attach themselves to our interpretations of sport.
Paradoxically, the more the individual is concerned with the reality that is not available to perception , the more most he concentrate his attentions on appearances. (Goffman 1973)
The myth of the fully present subject who could reveal the inner workings of his or her mind to another [and by] the myth of an observer with a method who could somehow prevail upon this subject to reveal her inner world of experience to the kindly knowing scientist.
