- Description
Angie Abdou and Jamie Dopp bring together a collection of essays that analyse Canadian sport texts ranging from hockey to baseball in their anthology Writing the Body in Motion. While each essay provides a deeper dive into a topic, there is an overall theme behind the collection that sport literature provides a valuable ground to examine social issues and ideas about community, masculinity, and the body. Although written primarily for adult readers, these essays could be adapted to be used with advanced learners in English language arts lessons, given their exploration of the literary devices and themes of other works. This anthology may resonate well with learners who have an interest in sports and act as a bridge between their experiences and literature to allow them to critically explore concepts they may experience, like identity, wellness, and belonging, in a more academic context.
