  • 'Freaky:' an Exploration of the Development of Dominant
    From ‘Classical’ To ‘Freaky:’ an Exploration of the Development of Dominant, Organised, Male Bodybuilding Culture Dimitrios Liokaftos Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London Submitted for the Degree of PhD in Sociology February 2012 1 Declaration: The work presented in this thesis is my own. Dimitrios Liokaftos Signed, 2 Abstract Through a combination of historical and empirical research, the present thesis explores the development of dominant, organized bodybuilding culture across three periods: early (1880s-1930s), middle (1940s-1970s), and late (1980s-present). This periodization reflects the different paradigms in bodybuilding that the research identifies and examines at the level of body aesthetic, model of embodied practice, aesthetic of representation, formal spectacle, and prevalent meanings regarding the 'nature' of bodybuilding. Employing organized bodybuilding displays as the axis for the discussion, the project traces the gradual shift from an early bodybuilding model, represented in the ideal of the 'classical,' 'perfect' body, to a late-modern model celebrating the 'freaky,' 'monstrous' body. This development is shown to have entailed changes in notions of the 'good' body, moving from a 'restorative' model of 'all-around' development, health, and moderation whose horizon was a return to an unsurpassable standard of 'normality,' to a technologically-enhanced, performance- driven one where 'perfection' assumes the form of an open-ended project towards the 'impossible.' Central in this process is a shift in male identities, as the appearance of the body turns not only into a legitimate priority for bodybuilding practitioners but also into an instance of sport performance in bodybuilding competition. Equally central, and related to the above, is a shift from a model of amateur competition and non-instrumental practice to one of professional competition and extreme measures in search of the winning edge.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

However, concern with personal health and wellbeing has not been a new phenomenon. Moreover, the use of sport and physical activity as a form of preventive medicine has been a cornerstone regarding ideas over the attainment of health. In 1929 the New Health Society proposed ten ‘Health Rules’ and, at number ten, after advice on topics such as diet, internal and external cleanliness and sunlight, was exercise in which the individual was encouraged to, ‘Take out-of-door exercise every day.

This dissertation addresses the story of Physical Culture magazine from three different perspectives, reading the magazine through lenses of media history, medical history and social context, in order to understand the ways in which class operated on and through the body. In contrast to nearly every other publication in the early twentieth century, Physical Culture suggested that class mobility was possible, and that success would naturally follow improvement of body and health.

    Building OF Vital Power DEEP BREATHING AND A COMPLETE SYSTEM FOR STRENGTHENING THE HEART, LUNGS, STOMACH AND ALL THE GREAT VITAL ORGANS r* BERNARR MACFADDEN Autiior and Editor OF THE \ \ or PI m.lMiKli BY PHYSICAL CULTURE PUBLISHING COMPANY FLATIRON BUILDING, NEW YORK CITY Orchard Leigh, Chesham, Buckinghamshire ENGLAND Primed in U. S. A. -\ fiUOLOGY LIBRARY Copyright, 1904, by Bernarr Macfadden Entered at Stationers' Hall All rights reserved OF THE PREFACE, My friends, do you realize the meaning of VITAL POWER ? Have you ever experienced that super- abundance of health which breeds an intense satisfac- tion with life and all living things °? Have you ever felt the supreme joy of mere existence ? The satis- faction that makes you exclaim: "There is indeed ! ' zest in life ' Are you filled with a sense of exhilara- tion, almost amounting to intoxication °? If not, you do not possess the subtle force of life in all its pristine strength! You do not possess the power that the Creator meant to be yours every day—every hour of your life ! Artificial environments have robbed you of the primal element of your existence as it should be and you are, in consequence, to be vastly pitied. Vital power is the force that makes itself manifest in every act and thought of your being. It is the cause of the unceasing crimson tides that course through your veins, of the exquisite sensibility of your nervous system, of the untiring strength and elasticity of your thews and sinews. Of the laugh that enlivens, the eloquent flash and glance of the eye, the dreams of the poet, the musings of the philos- opher, the marvels of the scientist.

    Notes PREFACE 1. For an analysis of machine metaphors and the impact of technology in imperial settings see Michael P. Adas, Machines as the Measure of Man (Ithaca, NY, 1990). See also Anson Rabinbach, The Human Motor (New York, 1990). 2. Les Jeux Olympiques, 776 av. J.C.-1896 (Paris, 1896) 108. 3. Ideal Health and How to Obtain It by Physical Culture, by 'M.D/ (Lon­ don, 1909) 1. 4. The problems with studying the body in the context of private life in this period have already been cogently laid out by Michelle Perrot (ed.), A History of Private Life: From the Fires of Revolution to the Great War (Cambridge, MA, 1990) 1-5. Even most sociologists, who are typically less tradition bound than historians, would admit that there is as yet no sociology of the body, only a diffuse and cautious effort to begin collecting bodily related data. As Anthony Synnott argues in The Body Social: Symbolism, Self and Society (New York, 1993), psy­ chologists and philosophers as well as historians have tended to ignore the body. Groundbreaking work by historians of gender and sexuality such as Judith Walkowitz, Peter Brown and Thomas Laqeuer are notable exceptions in this regard. 5. See David Landes, Prometheus Unbound: Technological Change and Indus­ trial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present (Cambridge, 1969) 357. 6. Ibid. 7. Like the geographical nation, biological categories such as gender often implicitly finesse questions about their specificity and substance. These are taken for granted as the visible which denotes the under­ lying truth of differences.
