  • Politics of Disabled Bodies
    Welcome to the first edition of the Humanities Newsletter. In this newsletter we will show you how you can apply what you learn in your lessons to the real world. The very first edition of the Humanities Newsletter is produced entirely by Humanities A‐ Level students. Students from all disciplines — Anthropology, History, Psychology, Sociology, Government and Politics and Geography — have been working hard for the last two weeks to produce this newsletter. In this first edition, we are focusing on people with physical and mental disabilities. The Olympic and Paralympic games in London have inspired many young people to strive to be the best in their respective sporting competitions. Through hard work and dedication, humans are able to achieve extraordinary feats. The Paralympics in London were the most successful games to date. In this newsletter we explore how the human body can be used to understand a range of different issues. We look at how humans modify their bodies and for what reasons; explore psychological explanations of eating disorders such as anorexia; discuss the history of Paralympics; examine how conflict can cause disability; understand legislation in the UK surrounding disability; and look at the attitudes of society towards disabled people. Students have also interviewed two new members of the Humanities department, Ms. Jones who teaches Social Sciences, and Ms. Hayward, who teaches History and Anthropology, so that you know who will be teaching you. It is very exciting to share with you all what we can learn in the Humanities Department at Heston Community School. We hope you enjoy reading the Humanities Newsletter.

The Berlin Olympics: Sports, Anti-Semitism, and Propaganda in Nazi Germany Abstract The aN zis utilized the Berlin Olympics of 1936 as anti-Semitic propaganda within their racial ideology. When the Nazis took power in 1933 they immediately sought to coordinate all aspects of German life, including sports. The process of coordination was designed to Aryanize sport by excluding non-Aryans and promoting sport as a means to prepare for military training. The 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin became the ideal platform for Hitler and the Nazis to display the physical superiority of the Aryan race. However, the exclusion of non-Aryans prompted a boycott debate that threatened Berlin’s position as host.

  • Uncanny Resemblances? Captive Audience Positions and Media-Conscious Performances in Berlin During the 1936 Summer Olympics and the 2006 FIFA World Cup
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 5310–5332 1932–8036/20190005 Uncanny Resemblances? Captive Audience Positions and Media-Conscious Performances in Berlin During the 1936 Summer Olympics and the 2006 FIFA World Cup SAMI KOLAMO University of Tampere, Finland JANI VUOLTEENAHO University of Helsinki, Finland With an eye to attracting global media attention, the ordinary cityscape is purposefully transformed into an out-of-the-ordinary eventscape during major sports occasions. Focusing on the production of captive audience positions and event-goers’ associated media-conscious performances, this article compares the implementation of event spaces in the totalitarian-propagandist context of the 1936 Berlin Olympics with the commercially branded 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Apart from blatant dissimilarities in ideological-commercial motifs and emotionally charged forms of audiencehood between these urban spectacles, variable media-densified audience positions were carefully built into the design of both events. The key commonalities include the turning of urban public spaces into strictly controlled event enclaves, civic education aimed at image leveraging through ambassadorial conduct, and atmospheric intensification by enthusiastic audience-performers. We conclude that these measures to maximize positive media publicity continue to steer, in increasingly multimedial ways, the production of urban megaevents even in the digitalized present. Keywords: cityscape–mediascape interplay, sports megaevents, propaganda, branding, captive

    Nota D How successful were the Nazi’s in presenting a positive image of Germany at the 1936 Berlin Olympics? Word Count 3919 1 Nota D Index Introduction…………………………………….. Page 3 Body………………………………………………... Page 4 Nazi Germany……………………………………. Page 4 The Use of Propaganda………………………. Page 6 The Games………………………………………….. Page 10 Conclusion………………………………………. Page 11 Bibliography…………………………………… Page 12 2 Nota D Introduction The 1936 Berlin Olympics were held during the rule of Adolf Hitler, who had risen into power in 1934 and faced a lot of pressure from the countries inside Europe because they questioned their idea of a dictatorship. During the period between 1932, year in which the venue for the 1936 Olympics was decided and when the Games started in August 1936 there was a very big focus on using the Olympic Games as a mean of propaganda to attempt to show a positive image of Germany to the rest of the world and also to the people inside Germany. Throughout this essay I am going to analyze the ways in which Hitler attempted to create this positive image of Germany and how successful it was on displaying it. The idea is to understand how they managed to use the Olympic games and turn them into a political advantage that gain control over Germany and the start of the World War.1 The Berlin Games were a huge opportunity to ease the tension that Hitler’s regime was creating at that time, attempting to postpone any further political or social problems as far as possible. This was of great importance because the Games would draw peoples attention from the Nazi Party and the problems that Germany was facing at the time.

  • OLYMPIC GAMES LONDON July 29 - August 14, 1948
    Y.E.A.H. - Young Europeans Active and Healthy OLYMPIC GAMES LONDON July 29 - August 14, 1948 The Austerity Games The 1948 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XIV Olym- piad, were held in London , United Kingdom . After a twelve-year hiatus caused by the out- break of World War II ; these were the first Summer Olympics held since Berlin 1936. The 1940 Olympic Games had been scheduled for Tokyo , and then for Helsinki ; the 1944 Ol- ympic Games had been provisionally planned for London. The event came to be known as the Austerity Games, because of the difficult eco- nomic climate and rationing imposed in the aftermath of World War II . No new venues were built for the games and athletes were housed in existing accommodation at the Wembley area instead of an Olympic Village , as were the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and the subsequent 1952 Games . A record 59 nations were represented by 4,104 athletes, 3,714 men and 390 women, in 19 sport disciplines . Germany and Japan were not invited to participate in the games, however, the Soviet Union was invited but chose not to send any athletes. Great Britain almost handed the 1948 games to the United States due to post-war financial and rationing prob- lems, but King George VI said that this could be the chance to restore Britain from World War II . The official report of the London Olympics shows that there was no case of London being pressed to run the Games against its will. In March 1946 London was selected ahead of Baltimore , Minneapolis , Lausanne , Los Angeles , and Philadel- phia .

Synopsis "Bare feet shouldn't fly. Long legs shouldn't spin. Braids shouldn't flap in the wind. 'Sit on the porch and be a lady,'” Papa scolded Alice. Few girls dreamed of being athletes when Alice Coachman was growing up in the Great Depression. In Albany, Georgia, no tracks or gyms were open to African American high jumpers. So Alice made her own crossbar with sticks and rags. With the support of her coach, friends, and community, Alice started to win medals on the high jump. Her wish to compete at the Olympics came true in 1948. This is an inspiring free-verse story of the first African-American woman to win an Olympic gold medal.

  • •Š a Century of Olympic Consciousness and National Anxiety in China
    “How Could Anyone Respect Us?” A Century of Olympic Consciousness and National Anxiety in China Andrew Morris Associate Professor of History California Polytechnic State University, San Louis Obispo “China has never produced an earthshaking scientist or author or explorer ... not even a talentedathletefortheOlympics! Whenyouthinkaboutit,howcouldanyonerespectus?” – Novelist Lao She, Ma and Son (1935)1 Much of the history of China’s modern sports and physical culture program (tiyu) has been phrased, experienced, understood, and remembered as a gesture of national defense. Enemies have come, gone, and come again—the Western and Japanese im­ perialists, the Communists, the Nationalists, the footbound and weak, the ignorant and unhygienic, the decadent and materialistic, Taiwan, Falun Gong, and (again) U.S. and Japanese imperialists. All have served as forces that threatened China’s national body and had to be defeated with the rhythms, motions, disciplines, and ideologies of modern sport. Thus, over the last century, sport in China has served as a marker of political and social power, but it has also represented a profound national anxiety. This article investigates this realm and the tension between power and anxiety, and strength and fear, that has characterized so many of China’s political movements over its many governmental transitions since the fall of the Qing Dynasty. SPORT AND NATIONAL HUMILIATION From the earliest moments of the Republic of China period (1912–1949), all types of physical culture exhibited an affinity with a defensive nationalism. The first high-profile example of anti-imperialism and nationalism through Chinese sport came in the 1915 Andrew Morris is an associate professor of history at California Polytechnic State University, San Louis Obispo.

SIGMAN* INTRODUCTION You should care about the prevalence of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) and doping methods currently being used and abused within elite sports.
