Abstract

"The issue of Native American mascots in sports raises passions but also a raft of often-unasked questions. Which voices get a hearing in an argument? What meanings do we ascribe to mascots? Who do these Indians and warriors really represent? Andrew C. Billings and Jason Edward Black go beyond the media bluster to reassess the mascot controversy. Their multi-dimensional study delves into the textual, visual, and ritualistic and performative aspects of sports mascots. Their original research, meanwhile, surveys sports fans themselves on their thoughts when a specific mascot faces censure. The result is a book that merges critical-cultural analysis with qualitative data to offer an innovative approach to understanding the camps and fault lines on each side of the issue, the stakes in mascot debates, whether common ground can exist and, if so, how we might find it"--

Abstract

Sports fans love to don paint and feathers to cheer on the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians, the Atlanta Braves, the Florida State Seminoles, and the Warriors and Chiefs of their hometown high schools. But outside the stadiums, American Indians aren't cheering--they're yelling racism. School boards and colleges are bombarded with emotional demands from both sides, while professional teams find themselves in court defending the right to trademark their Indian names and logos. In the face of opposition by a national anti-mascot movement, why are fans so determined to retain the fict

Abstract

"The West Virginia University Mountaineer isn't just a mascot: it's a symbol of West Virginia history and identity that's embraced throughout the state. Folklorist Rosemary Hathaway explores the figure's early history as a backwoods trickster, its deployment in emerging mass media, and finally its long and sometimes conflicted career-beginning officially in 1937-as the symbol of West Virginia University"--

Abstract

Chevaux, mulets, ânes, chiens, pigeons : des millions d’animaux ont été utilisés pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, pour transporter hommes ou matériel, guetter l’ennemi, informer du déroulement des batailles. Se sont également retrouvés coincés au milieu du front des milliers de bestiaux ou animaux sauvages venus de l'arrière : chiens attirés par l'aubaine, rats pourchassés, tués ou gardés, apprivoisés, câlinés. Certains aident les hommes à survivre dans l'enfer, occupent leur temps, permettent de se raccrocher à la vie. Les soldats, puis les anciens combattants, ont exprimé leur reconnaissance à l'égard de ces compagnons à poils ou à plumes en les décorant, en leur dédiant des livres, des monuments… Ce livre propose de retrouver les "soldats à quatre pattes" ainsi que tous les animaux qui ont vécu avec les hommes dans les tranchées. Une approche originale pour mieux saisir les points de vue, les émotions et les comportements des militaires au front.
