| Introduction | sportsBabel is a blog that critically examines the aesthetics, politics and poetics of sport and physical culture at the nexus of materiality, information and intellect. These are notes from an ongoing trajectory of research-creation and should be treated as such. Issues probed include: the security-entertainment complex and the militarization of sport; sports media as spectrum of interactivity; the experiential qualities of postmodern sporting spaces; the cyborg body athletic manifest as mobile social subject; and the emergence of a sporting multitude. sportsBabel is produced by Sean Smith, a critical sport theorist and artist from Toronto studying at the European Graduate School of Media and Communications in Switzerland. Also a lecturer at various universities in Canada, his doctoral candidacy is titled "Body+Politics: Towards a Sporting Multitude." |
