    205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism Extensively documented with quotes, references, supporting research, and resources for further study Compiled by K. Bacher Preface THE UNITED STATES LAGS FAR BEHIND most of the rest of Western Civilization in its negative attitude toward the human body. While most of Europe is comfortable with the concept of nude recreation on beaches and in vacation resorts, here in the U.S., conservative political action groups seek to criminalize even the most innocent exposure of the human body. Often these groups gain support by purporting to defend "family values" or "Christian morality." Although these groups are growing in political power, they represent only a small portion of the American population. And participation in nude recreation is also growing. More and more Americans are discovering the pleasures of skinny-dipping with their families in the local reservoir, or sunbathing in the buff at the local beach. Membership in nudist organizations is growing by leaps and bounds. More than ever, Naturists need powerful arguments to defend their chosen lifestyle against those who cannot see beyond their own misconceptions and preconceived notions. We need evidence and testimony to encourage others to give Naturism a try. For several years, I found myself making claims like these: "Actually, Mom, taking the kids to a nudist park is good for them." "The ideals of Naturism are consistent with the goals of women's rights." "A lot of famous people don't think skinnydipping's such a bad thing." "There's nothing in the Bible that says it's wrong to go nude." "Naturism has some real psychological benefits." "Not everyone in the world thinks nudity is so bad, you know." I knew that these statements were true, but when pressed, I could not back them up with concrete references.

Anatomy on Display: Male Corpse with Skin, Mannheim 1997. This flayed body of a man holding his own skin is among the displays at “Body Worlds” (Körperwelten), an exhibit on human anatomy at Mannheim’s Museum of Technology and Work. The life-sized specimens are human corpses, cadavers, that have been preserved through a process called “plastination.” The male figure shown here retains all its muscles and organs, but its skin is draped like a coat over one arm. Plastinated preservation remakes the corpse, a German body, into an aesthetic object: With his flesh restored and made immortal, the new man stands transfixed, focused on himself. A set of motifs, which typify the figuration of this corpse—white skin, the muscled body, the heroic pose—reveal a return to an uncanny fascination with fascist masculinity.

  • World Art on Swimming
    Education International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education, 2011, 5, 325-360 © 2011 Human Kinetics, Inc. World Art on Swimming Stathis Avramidis This article aims to identify swimming-related artwork from Paleolithic times up to the present day and to assess whether possible use of art could act as an aid to teaching. An art search obtained 50 paintings and sculptures. Results confirmed that artists have bestowed a wealth of related artwork on the world of aquatics. Depictions of people swimming competitively or recreationally, diving, bathing, working, and fighting were found in Egypt, Greece, Persia, Italy, Spain, the USA, Japan, and China. Depending on the particular society, the ability to swim indi- cated either a high or low socio-economic status. In some depictions, knowledge of swimming was accompanied by the ability to dive from high cliffs or into deep water, to hold one’s breath underwater, and to show physical endurance. A variety of swimming strokes were depicted throughout history in art. Various types of swimwear, or nude swimming, were evident in different societies. Keywords: swimming, diving, water safety, drowning. Swimming has been the subject of extensive research in terms of core sports science disciplines except in the field of art. More specifically, recreational and competitive swimming have both been studied extensively in relation to biomechan- ics, physiology, and psychology, since scientists, coaches, and swimmers started being interested in increasing athletic performance and quality of life through exercise (see Vilas-Boas, 2010). Apart from very limited references (e.g., Avramidis, 2005, 2009, 2010; Avramidis & Devouros, 2008; Dawson, 2006, 2010), as far as we know, no study has yet approached swimming from the point of view of art.
