- Description
- Author explores the link between nationalist discourses and the privileging of particular images and discourses of femininity in Canadian figure skating. She examines the relationship between privileged, mass mediated constructions of femininity in Canadian skating and their relationship to both social class, and to a racialized 'aesthetics of whiteness.'
