From: torgfje-AT-online.no (Torgeir Fjeld) Subject: Re: World Cup Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 21:18:57 +0000 if we assume that soccer is being increasingly incapsulated by national ('disciplinary') and economic discourses, is there any room for a distinct soccer discourse in mediated megaevents like the world cup? in other words, have even the most eloquent dribbles become signs of the nation (or as in south africa, castle lager)? not to say that a national sign needs to have a given value, or even that the situation is uniform in the different locations where the world cup is mediated. torgeir --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
