Multidisciplinary understanding of hockey in Canada as it is performed, displayed and discussed from historical, anthropological, and cultural studies perspectives. Trace the developments of hockey as a vernacular unorganized pastime to becoming a symbol of Canadian nationalism. Emphasis on representations of hockey in literature, film and popular culture genres. Assess the mythological formulations of hockey in hope of re-contextualizing it as a product of class, gender, ethnic and political struggle.
