Flushed with confidence by the Second World War, many heralded the American Century and saw postwar affluence as proof that capitalism would solve want and poverty. Yet this period also filled people with anxiety. Beyond the specter of nuclear annihilation, the consumerism and affluence of capitalism's success were seen as turning the sons of pioneers into couch potatoes. In Discipline and Indulgence, Jeffrey Montez de Oca demonstrates how popular culture, especially college football, addressed capitalism's contradictions by integrating men into the economy of the Cold War as workers, warriors, and consumers. In the dawning television age, college football provided a ritual and spectacle of the American way of life that anyone could participate in from the comfort of his own home. College football formed an ethical space of patriotic pageantry where men could produce themselves as citizens of the Cold War state. Based on a theoretically sophisticated analysis of Cold War media, Discipline and Indulgence assesses the period's institutional linkage of sport, higher education, media, and militarism and finds the connections of contemporary sport media to today's War on Terror. 410 0$aCritical Issues in Sport and Society 606 $aFootball$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFootball$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCollege sports$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCold War$xInfluence 606 $aMass media and sports$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aFootball$xHistory 615 0$aFootball$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aCollege sports$xHistory 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCold War$xInfluence. 615 0$aMass media and sports$xHistory 676 $a796.332/630973 700 $aMontez de Oca$b Jeffrey$01489493 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790671903321 996 $aDiscipline and indulgence$93710220 997 $aUNINA
