| Title | Frisbee on the Beach: Transcending gender subjectivity through play |
| Summary | This thesis explores how a gender subjectivity, emerging from a hegemonic discourse operative in public space, specifically on the beach, may be challenged through the play of Ultimate Frisbee. By focusing on the body and its affective components as central in determining subjectivity, it documents the concomitant changes that occur in these states during play. It makes a case for the game to be considered a liminoid given its temporal occurrence within a normative order. But its potential to alter the character of the space that it occupies is regarded, given players’ perceived transformation beyond the game itself |
