Shaping Our Identity Teacher’S Guide CORE SUBJECT: SOCIAL STUDIES GRADE LEVELS: 10-12 SHAPING OUR IDENTITY TEACHER’S GUIDE Website: www.sportshall.ca E-Mail: [email protected] Telephone: 403-776-1040 CORE SUBJECT: SOCIAL STUDIES GRADE LEVELS: 10-12 CANADA’S SPORTS HALL OF FAME TEACHER’S GUIDE SHAPING OUR IDENTITY Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is one of the oldest in North America. Its purpose is to honour Canadians who have contributed to sports in this country either on the field of play as an athlete or as a builder. This honour has been extended to include sportswriters and broadcasters as well as unique contributions from non-human sources such as the schooner The Bluenose or the remarkable show jumping horse Big Ben. The vision for Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame began in the late 1940’s with Harry Price. He believed that sport united Canadians from coast to coast, and contributed to our national identity. As such, he felt that there needed to be a place entirely devoted to promoting Canada’s rich sporting history and amazing sports heroes. For eight years, Price travelled across the country trying to enlist support to build a museum dedicated to Canadian athletes past and present, a place to celebrate the many achievements by Canadian athletes in the world of sports. His vision finally came to fulfillment in June 1955 when Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame opened its doors at the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) featuring 53 Canadian sporting heroes. Beginning in the late 1990’s, the Hall had been attempting to move to a new location that would enable more Canadians to enjoy the collection. In 2008, nine Canadian cities bid for the rights to host the Hall, with Calgary coming out the clear winner. When the new Hall opened on July 1, 2011, it featured 520 Canadian sporting heroes representing 60 sports. With twelve galleries (with one side being Winter Sports and the other being Summer Sports), 50 interactive displays and more than 1,000 artefacts, the Hall is a rich way to explore Canada’s spectacular sporting history.

PAGE 4 sportshall.ca CORE SUBJECT: SOCIAL STUDIES GRADE LEVELS: 10-12 SHAPING OUR IDENTITY THE GALLERIES TEACHER’S GUIDE SHAPING OUR IDENTITY The Alberta Social Studies curriculum defines globalization as “the process by which the world’s citizens are becoming connected and interdependent”. One of the best examples of this is the Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games which are held every 4 years on an alternating 2 year cycle allowing countries around the globe to compete with each other. George Orwell defines nationalism as “the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests”. Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame’s “Shaping Our Identity” education program concentrates on the close relationship between sport and nationalism. Canadian hockey is but one example of how a nationality ties its identity to a sport. Political organizations have often benefited from intertwining their countries sport to national causes like Hitler at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin where he tried to showcase the natural athletic “superiority” of the Aryan race in order to justify to the world his Nazi party agenda. Sports provide a logical platform for competition among nations. The Olympic and Paralympic Games are a prime example of nationalistic pride and have always been an underlying motivator for competition. Olympic contenders from each country parade together at the Opening Ceremonies displaying their flag and colours. Athlete winners proudly stand on the platform to hear their national anthem and watch the raising of their flags at the medal ceremonies. There have been discussions about the future of the relationship between sport and nationalism. As an increased number of athletes represent their adopted countries it becomes increasingly more difficult for countries to use their historic symbols.

It was then I decided to meet this new challenge head on and not only overcome my disability, but conquer it in such a way that I could never look back and say it disabled me. But I soon realized that that would only be half my quest, for as I went through the 16 months of the physically and emotionally draining ordeal of chemotherapy, I was rudely awakened by the feelings that surrounded and coursed through the cancer clinic. There were faces with the brave smiles and the ones who had given up smiling. There were feelings of hopeful denial and the feelings of despair. My quest would not be a selfish one. I could not leave knowing these faces and feelings would still exist, even though I would be set free from mine. Somewhere the hurting must stop…and I was determined to take myself to the limit for this cause. From the beginning the going was extremely difficult, and I was facing chronic ailments foreign to runners with two legs in addition to the common physical strains felt by all dedicated athletes. But these problems are now behind me, as I have either out- persisted or learned to deal with them. I feel strong not only physically, but more important, emotionally.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.
