by EllynKestnbaum (Author)
An examination of figure skating from multiple perspectives: as sport, as performance, and even as spectacle. Using readings of skating events at the 1994 and 1998 Olympic Games, Ellyn Kastnbaum argues that figure skating is a language, one whose meaning is inflected by the culture at large.
