An Inclusive Litany

1/29/96

From "Tonya's Bad Boot," an essay by Robyn Wiegman and Linda Zwinger in Women on Ice: Feminist Responses to the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan Spectacle, edited by Cynthia Baughman and published by Routledge:
Punctuated by what became ubiquitous sound bites—Tonya dashing after the tow truck, Nancy sailing the ice with one leg reaching for heaven—this melodrama parsed the transgressive hybridity of un-narrativized representative bodies back into recognizable heterovisual codes.
