On September 25th, Film Quarterly launched PAGE VIEWS LIVE, its new webinar series showcasing the best in recent film and media studies publications. The series kicked off with a conversation between Page Views editor Bruno Guaraná and Samantha N. Sheppard about her highly anticipated new book, Sporting Blackness: Race, Embodiment, and Critical Muscle Memory on Screen.
Travis Vogan (ABC Sports: The Rise and Fall of Network Sports Television) joined for a wide-ranging and highly topical discussion of Sheppard’s groundbreaking examination of race, representation, and the Black sporting body, introduced by FQ editor-in-chief B. Ruby Rich.
Bruno Guaraná’s interview with Samantha Sheppard appears in the Fall issue of Film Quarterly along with a pdf download of the introduction from Sporting Blackness.
