    Georges Carpentier sur la Riviera Février 1912 Stéphane Hadjeras Doctorant en histoire Contemporaine - Université de Franche Comté A la fin de l’année 1911, Georges Carpentier n’avait même pas 18 ans et pourtant sa carrière de pugiliste semblait avoir pris un tournant majeur pour au moins deux raisons. D’abord le 23 octobre, devant un public londonien médusé, il devint, en infligeant au King’s Hall une sévère défaite au britannique Young Joseph, le premier champion d’Europe français. Puis, le 13 décembre, au Cirque de Paris, à la grande surprise des journalistes sportifs et autres admirateurs du noble art, il battit aux points le célèbre « fighter » américain, ancien champion du monde des poids welters, Harry Lewis. Accueilli, en véritable héros à son retour de Londres, par plus de 3000 personnes à la Gare du Nord, plébiscité par la presse sportive après son triomphe sur l’américain, ovationné par un Paris mondain de plus en plus féru de boxe, Georges Carpentier fut en passe de devenir en ce début d’année 1912 l’idole de toute une nation. Ainsi, l’annonce de son combat contre le britannique Jim Sullivan, le 29 février, à Monte Carlo, pour le titre de champion d’Europe des poids moyens, apparut de plus en plus comme une confirmation de l’inéluctable ascension du « petit prodige »1 vers le titre mondial. Monte Carlo. L’évocation de ce lieu provoqua chez le champion un début d’évasion : « La Cote d’Azur, la mer bleue, le ciel plus bleu encore, les palmiers, les arbres avec des oranges !

  • Lacing up the Gloves: Women, Boxing and Modernity Irene Gammel Ryerson University, Toronto
    Lacing Up the Gloves: Women, Boxing and Modernity Irene Gammel Ryerson University, Toronto Abstract This article explores women’s early twentieth-century engagement with boxing as a means of expressing the fragmentations and contradictions of modern life. Equally drawn to and repelled by the visceral agonism of the sport, female artists and writers of the First World War and post- war era appropriated the boxer’s virile body in written and visual autobiographies, effectively breaching male territory and anticipating contemporary notions of female autonomy and self- realization. Whether by reversing the gaze of desire as a ringside spectator or inhabiting the physical sublime of boxing itself, artists such as Djuna Barnes, Vicki Baum, Mina Loy and Clara Bow enlisted the tropes, metaphors and physicality of boxing to fashion a new understanding of their evolving status and identity within a changing social milieu. At the same time, their corporeal and textual self-inscriptions were used to stage their own exclusion from the sport and the realm of male agency and power. Ultimately, while modernist women employ boxing to signal a radical break with the past, or a reinvention of self, they also use it to stage the violence and trauma of the era, aware of limits and vulnerabilities. Keywords: boxing, women, modernity, self-representation, gender 1 Lacing Up the Gloves: Women, Boxing and Modernity No man, even if he had earlier been the biggest Don Juan, still risks it in this day and age to approach a lady on the street. The reason: the woman is beginning to box! - German boxing promoter Walter Rothenburg, 19211 Following Spinoza, the body is regarded as neither a locus for a consciousness nor an organically determined entity; it is understood more in terms of what it can do, the things it can perform, the linkages it establishes, the transformations and becomings it undergoes, and the machinic connections it forms with other bodies, what it can link with, how it can proliferate its other capacities – a rare, affirmative understanding of the body.

In the 1986 British Boxing Yearbook, Lee is credited with 60 contests. I have been unable to trace twelve of these and as I am uncertain as to the original source they have not been included in this record.

KATHERINE FIGUEROA* In 2010, Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez was stripped from his WBC middleweight title belt that was then easily handed over to a boxing favorite. In 2015, two big promotional companies, Top Rank Inc. and Golden Boy Promotions, filed similar claims against manager and advisor Al Haymon accusing him of unfair and anticompetitive business practices. These incidents make one long-standing point clear: professional boxing’s current structure is an abyss of deception and corruption. Corruption is not only harmful to those intended to be harmed; corruptive practices also diminish the quality, creditability, and integrity of the sport. However, corruption in the sport of boxing is but a novel issue.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England

To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 444 Castro Street, Suite 900, Mountain View, California, 94041, USA. Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

  • Neither Facial Aggressiveness Nor Facial Width to Height Ratio Are Related to Fighting Success
    Neither facial aggressiveness nor facial width to height ratio are related to fighting success Thomas Richardson, Anam Bhutta, Elena Bantoft, R. Tucker Gilman Abstract There is a growing consensus that there is information in a man’s face about how formidable (big and strong) he is. Recent work in mixed martial artists has shown that there may be facial correlates of fighting success. Fighters with more aggressive looking faces, as well as higher facial width to height ratios (fWHR), win a greater percentage of their fights. This has been used as evidence that human males may have evolved to signal and detect formidability using facial features. However, all previous studies have used datasets that may have considerable overlap, so it is important to replicate these effects in new samples. Moreover, some studies show that facial width to height ratio is correlated with body size, which may have confounded associations between fWHR and fighting success. The present study attempted to replicate and expand previous findings in 3 samples totalling several hundred professional fighters taken from several combat sporting leagues. I also tested whether head tilt affected ratings of aggressiveness, as previous studies have found conflicting effects. Overall, I found no significant links between fighting success and fWHR or facial aggressiveness. Tilting the head up or down both made a fighter’s face look more aggressive. Interestingly, there was only low- moderate agreement between raters on the apparent aggressiveness of a given face. Further, I found that facial width to height ratio was related to body size, and that body size mediated the link between fWHR and perceived aggression.

He came from a fighting family and many of his early contests are only now coming to light. He was discovered by Harry Dorsey and managed, whilst in London, by Harry Berman. He boxed extensively in the United States, where he toured three times, and in Australia. He won a Lonsdale Belt outright by the time he was 23 and did so in a very competitive division and during a very competitive era.
