"The Fist: Notes on an Athletic Gesture." Jennifer Doyle is the author of Hold It Against Me: Difficulty and Emotion in Contemporary Art (Duke, 2013) and Sex Objects: Art and the Dialectics of Desire (University of Minnesota, 2006). She explores athletic, physical, and sporting practices in contemporary art, and contrasts the access they give us to languages of struggle and flight with other ways of being and moving through the world. Doyle is Professor of English at University of California, Riverside, and a 2013–14 Fulbright Distinguished Chair at the University of the Arts, London.
