Winning It All: The Cinematic Construction Of The Athletic American Dream, Andrew Miller
Communication, Media & The Arts Faculty Publications
Powered by a philosophy of self-determination and an ideology of a level playing field, the Athletic American Dream has become firmly entrenched in American culture. Following narrative pattterns influenced by both newspaper sports sections and juvenile sports fiction, it coalesces around underdog-to-champion, hard-work-leads-to-victory narratives that shape the sporting imagination and help to forge the masculine ideal that is the foundation of American self-image.

Mary Kelly's gallery size installation, entitled Gloria Patri, was first shown at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum, Cornell University in 1992.

This crisis of masculine mastery is set against the backdrop of the Persian Gulf War.
