By exchange of views with present colleagues, the idea was accepted. After consent of FIEP Europe’s President Mr. Branislav Antala (Slovakia) regarding this matter, during the following Section’s session the Commission for leading this idea into realization was formed. Elected members of this Commission were: Nenad Zivanovic, Petar D. Pavlovic, Branislav Antala and Kristina Pantelic Babic. At the same session was decided to start first with writing of History of Physical Education. With the work of stated Commission members, National Delegates and Assistant of National Delegate of FIEP Europe, as also other associates from most European countries, this publication on beginnings of development of Physical Education in European countries’ schools was created. All manuscripts received for this publication successfully passed review process. All FIEP Europe National Delegates were informed about this project, and we received 18 European papers implemented in this publication. Besides, we also received a paper from Colombia about PE in Latin America, which is an indicator of interest for this topic beyond European borders. We hope to include all European countries in following publications, and also to go outside Europe in our close future. Papers are sorted alphabetically by countries which participated in this edition, with Colombian manuscript as a final one. We thank all authors for being a part of this interesting project, and looking forward to work together in the future. With best regards, EDITORS 7 FOREWORD ON PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS Nenad Živanović, FIEP Europe, President of History of Physical Education and Sport Section, Serbia. When everything has its own time (Solomon), and one should believe this to be so, then it is quite understandable that this book on physical education and sport has awaited its time. Without pretending that this is the final story of this beautiful theme, we emphasize that it is only a part of our smart book (history) on physical education and sport. From different sides and from different angles perceived, our smart book on physical education and sport perceives man and his desire to always be the best and excellent among others (Homer) and constantly perceives physical exercise as the beneficial food to man’s, primarily physical being (N. Zivanovic). In different parts of the European continent, and in the other parts of the world as well, man has been crossing the path of developing its natural form of body movement - exercise all the way to the derivative and modified forms. All this man has done in the reverse direction, constantly returning to his natural forms of movement - training. Of course, it has always been adapted and in harmony with the social environment and social circumstances in which he has lived. However, we must point out one fact. Physical exercise, no matter how it is defined, is not a subject that can be made and bought in a store. Physical exercise is actually a man himself and his movement, performed with the corresponding objective, not only to develop or train some of his (motor) properties, but also because of the emotional experiencing of such a movement - training. This fact alone indicates the complex structure of man. His physical and mental structure, consecrated by the Holy Spirit, makes him a complete man, a personality - one, unique and unrepeatable. Therefore, a physical exercise for him is a wholesome food essential to his being. 8 At the heart of physical education is a man with all his needs and desires. This man, as we have noted, has a need for physical exercise, specific food that is essential to his, primarily physical being. In fact, this man has a need for self-motion - exercise. Therefore, when we talk about physical exercise and physical exercising, we actually talk about the man himself. And this man, searching for his identity, moves from the idea that a person is one, unique and unrepeatable, to an individual – an atomized individual who thinks he is self-sufficient. Thus, between these extremes, a man wanders seeking, above all, himself and his increasingly lost person. That is why education and, of course, physical education is so important. Education and physical education as well can be defined in different ways. But it is not superfluous to recall that the term upbringing (education) is an old Slavic word denoting feeding. Of course, physical education as a part of general education ensures that a physical exercise nourishes man. And from this simple fact derives all the philosophy of physical education and sport, and it, among other things claims: everything for a man, a man for nothing. This philosophical idea draws its strength from the simple fact that says life is the highest value obtained from the Creator and noone, especially an educator, has the right to intentionally or unintentionally, incur the collapse of these values. Hence, the establishment of many schools, and in them the subject of physical education, to make man stand up and show him all the values of life. But, in all stages of life on the Earth, there were periods of ups and downs of the human civilization and culture. Therefore, the time in which we live should be considered taking into account this fact, and in accordance with it we should try to find the best solutions. It is not easy, but it is a sublime duty of the (real) experts and teachers. It is interesting to recall the times of two hundred years ago. Then, at the southern edge of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy a Fruskogorskian monk Georgie, translating a V. K. Hufeld book Macrobiotics, used a term physical education in the title of a chapter. The book was translated into the Serbian language and published in Budim in 1807.1 Before that, in these parts of Europe, different terms 1 More on this in: Milosevic, Z. and Berar M. Tracing the Term Physical Education, Physical Education and Sport Through the Centuries, Vol.1, Iss. 1. 44–52. 9 denoting the organized forms of physical exercise, were used. The most common terms used were the body exercises and gymnastics. But this term physical education was exactly in line with the basic meaning of education - and that is feeding. By means of the attribute physical in this syntagm a type of food that is offered to a man, regardless of his age, is highlighted. And that reflects a complete pedagogical idea emanating from the basic philosophical ideas that we have highlighted. The Humanists Turning towards man and his needs began in the mid-14th century. The advent of the Humanism and the Renaissance in the northern Italy established a new view of the world and of man in that world. Scholars and leaders of the new

  • Führt Der Weg Zum Ziel? Überlegungen Zur Verbindung Des Modernen Yoga*) Mit Patanjalis Yoga-Sutra Annette Blühdorn
    erschienen in zwei Teilen in: Deutsches Yoga-Forum 6/2019, S.30-33 und 1/2020, S.26-31 © Dr. Annette Blühdorn Führt der Weg zum Ziel? Überlegungen zur Verbindung des Modernen Yoga*) mit Patanjalis Yoga-Sutra Annette Blühdorn Er hatte es schon in sich erfahren, dass Glaube und Zweifel zusammengehören, dass sie einander bedingen wie Ein- und Ausatmen. (Hermann Hesse, Das Glasperlenspiel) Als im Juni 2015 zum ersten Mal weltweit der Internationale Yoga-Tag begangen wurde, traten sehr schnell Kritiker auf den Plan, die dieses Ereignis als politische Machtdemonstration der national- konservativen indischen Regierung interpretierten. Yoga solle hier als ausschließlich indisches Erbe und Kulturgut dargestellt werden, während doch tatsächlich der heute überall auf der Welt praktizierte moderne Yoga auch von vielfältigen Strömungen und Einflüssen des Westens geprägt worden sei. So ungefähr lautete damals die Kritik, die mir geradezu ketzerisch erschien; ziemlich heftig wurde da an den Grundfesten meiner heilen Yoga-Welt gerüttelt. Weil aber, wie Hermann Hesse im Glasperlenspiel erklärt, Glaube und Zweifel sich gegenseitig bedingen, wurde es mir bald ein Bedürfnis, mich mit dieser Kritik konstruktiv auseinanderzusetzen. Inzwischen sind die Inhalte dieses Forschungszweigs, der sich mit der Tradition und Entwicklung des Yoga beschäftigt, bei mir angekommen. Ich habe von dem soge- nannten Hatha-Yoga-Project der School of Oriental and African Studies der University of London erfahren, in der groß aufgestellten Webseite von Modern Yoga Research gestöbert

Kumlien and the evidence of several Swedish gymnastics1 Escritos de L. G. Kumlien e os indícios de variadas ginásticas suecas 2 Iara Marina dos Anjos Bonifácio* Anderson da Cunha Baía** ABSTRACT Swedish gymnastics, systematized by Pehr Henrik Ling (1776-1839) at the Stockholm Central Institute of Gymnastics (CIG), spread throughout the world, at least until the last decades of the 20th century, especially from the circulation of individuals trained at the CIG. Among them was Ludvig Gideon Kumlien (1874-1934), a Swedish doctor-gymnast who graduated from the Stockholm Institute, who moved in 1895 to Paris, France, where he carried out different actions to promote Ling’s gymnastics, among them publishing handbooks. What do these handbooks reveal? Can we assert that the gymnastics promoted by Kumlien is Ling’s gymnastics? Or that it is the same gymnastics he learned at CIG? In contact with a culture different from his own, does Kumlien alter the gymnastics he learned? Thus, this article aims to understand which gymnastics Ludvig Kumlien has promoted in his handbooks. To do so, we mobilized as sources the handbooks written by Kumlien and his partners and newspaper reports from the countries in which his writings circulated. By analyzing Ludvig Kumlien’s guidebooks, we observed that the gymnastics he divulged in French territory were 1 Translated by Tikinet.

  • Nationalism and Sporting Culture: a Media Analysis of Croatia's Participation in the 1998 World
    Nationalism and Sporting Culture: A Media Analysis of Croatia’s Participation in the 1998 World Cup Andreja Milasincic, BPHED Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Health Sciences (Health and Physical Education) Supervisor: Ian Ritchie, PhD Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario L2S 3A1 Andreja Milasincic © November 2013 Abstract The past two centuries have witnessed the rise of nationalist movements and widespread nationalism. As these movements gained strength in Europe, sport played a role in their development. Media representations of sport recount events in a way that reinforces cultural values and this research investigates media representations of Croatian nationalism in the weeks surrounding the country’s third place victory in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Sociological theories alongside more contemporary theories of sport and nation construction are considered. Croatian newspapers were analyzed for elements of national identity construction. The study concludes that the 1998 World Cup played an important role in Croatia’s on-going construction of nationhood and invention of nationalist traditions. This research further demonstrates sport’s ability to evoke strong emotions that are difficult to witness in other areas of social life and the direct role of sport in garnering nationalism. Keywords: nationalism, identities, newspapers, Croatia, soccer Acknowledgments The successful composition of this thesis required the support and direction of various individuals. First and foremost, a thank you to my supervisor, Dr. Ian Ritchie, for the countless hours spent encouraging, advising, and offering constructive criticisms throughout the research process. Your support and guidance have been not only appreciated but also vital to the completion of this thesis.

  • The Emergence of Physical Education As a Subject for Com
    Nordic Journal of Educational History Vol. 4, no. 2 (2017), pp. 13–30 ISSN (online): 2001-9076 ISSN (print): 2001-7766 The Emergence of Physical Education as a Subject for Com- pulsory Schooling in the First Half of the Nineteenth Cen- tury: The Case of Phokion Heinrich Clias and Adolf Spiess Rebekka Horlacher Abstract • In general, schooling and nation-building are associated with the unifying role of language and history education, since language and culture are perceived as fundamental pillars of the nation. Less discussed—at least regarding the curriculum—is the role of physical education, even if physical education was a highly political issue in the first decades of the nineteenth century. Based on a case study of Switzerland and textbooks for physical education by Adolf Spiess and the activities of Phokion Heinrich Clias for the Bernese school, this article discusses how physical education, distinct from the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries’ care for the body, became a school subject of the nineteenth century compulsory schools and how it was related to the notion of nation and nation-building. It ar- gues that physical education became first part of the “modern” philanthropic education and schooling, was soon taken for granted as an essential curricular component of nation-building and lost thereby the political threat. Keywords • schooling, curriculum, physical education, nation-building, philanthropic education Normally, the history of physical education is traced back to the ideas and initia- tives of Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778–1852), also known as “Turnvater Jahn” and to military requirements such as physical strength and military force.1 In doing so, a particular meaning of physical education is stressed: that of physical education as a school subject of the compulsory schools with a specific set of gymnastic exercises aiming at a healthy body (and soul) for the students making them valuable members of a political entity, that is, the nineteenth-century nation-state.
