  1. Professional wrestling : sport and spectacle

    Mazer, Sharon
    Jackson : University Press of Mississippi, c1998.

    This close-up look at professional wrestlers, male and female, in training and in action, gives readers an intimate look at the workouts and the rites of passage which initiate rookies in the fraternity of the ring. It also surveys the continuing debate over what is real and what is fake.

  2. Performance in popular culture

    Mazer, Sharon
    Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2024.

    "Performance in Popular Culture reveals the intricate relationship between performance and popular culture by exploring how theatrical conventions and dramaturgical tropes have informed the way the social is constructed for popular consumption. Staged as a series of case studies, this book considers the diverse ways the social is imagined and produced in live and mediated performances, in images and texts, in interactive experiences and in cultural institutions. By looking at performance in popular culture, the world we live in becomes more visible, open to investigation and (perhaps) to change. Performance in Popular Culture engages a wide range of disciplines and theoretical frameworks: performance, theatre and cultural studies; comparative literature and media studies; gender and sexuality, critical race and post-colonial theories. Designed for accessibility at an undergraduate level, the case studies make use of visual materials, moving images and texts that are readily available to lecturers and students, to scholars and to the general public"--

  3. I have loved me a man : the life and times of Mika

    Mazer, Sharon
    Auckland, New Zealand : Auckland University Press, 2018.

    From the Old Mill Disco in Timaru to San Francisco's ACT UP protests, through Jazzercise and drag, AIDS and homosexual law reform, I Have Loved Me a Man takes readers inside the social revolution that has moved New Zealand from the 1960s to the present day through the story of the one, the only, queer Maori performance artist: Mika. Mika grew up in Timaru, was adopted into a white family, and learnt Maori culture from the back of a cereal box. He discovered disco in the 1970s, worked with Carmen, Dalvanius Prime, Merata Mita and others to develop outrageous stage shows that toured the world, played a policeman on television in Shark in the Park and came out on screen with Harvey Keitel, playing a takatapui role in Jane Campion's Academy Award-winning film The Piano. Mika has never been in the closet: his life has been an ongoing production of both the fabulous and the revolutionary. This highly visual book interweaves archival and historical research with images hand-picked from Mika's extensive archive to reveal the life and times of a queer brown boy from Aotearoa who took on the big white world.
