After every set, the trailing team shoots first. In each set a team can score a maximum of 60 points. The team with the highest score of that set is awarded 2 points. In case of a tied score, both teams are awarded 1 point. As soon as a team reaches 5 set points (5 of 8 possible) it is declared winner and advances to the next round. The team has 120 seconds to shoot 6 arrows in alternate shooting format. In alternate shooting, the alternation between the teams will take place after all the team members have shot one arrow. The archers of the team are free to choose who shoots first and can change without restrictions as long as each team member shoots 1 arrow per alternation. If a match is tied at the end of 24 arrows, a sudden-death shoot-off will follow, with each team member shooting one arrow for score. The team has one minute to shoot the three arrows, and the team will alternate shots. If still tied, another three arrows are shot for score.

    Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan

    Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Junko Habu, Chair Professor Christine Hastorf Professor Mack Horton Spring 2011 Abstract Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Junko Habu, Chair This thesis examines the economic vs. social and symbolic importance of fish in the foodways of the prehistoric Jomon culture (16,000-2300 cal BP) of Japan. To achieve this goal, quantitative analyses of fish remains excavated from a water-logged midden of the Sannai Maruyama site (Aomori Prefecture, Japan) are conducted. Dated to the Lower Ento–a phase (ca. 5900–5650 cal BP) of the Early Jomon Period, the midden was associated with large amounts of organic remains, including fish bones. The perspective employed in this dissertation, foodways, emphasizes the importance of social and cultural roles of food. Rather than focus on bio-ecological aspects and nutritional values of food, this thesis regards food as one of the central elements of individual cultures. In Japanese archaeology, food of the Jomon Period has been a central them to the discussion reconstructing the lifeways of prehistoric people of the Japanese archipelago. Large amounts of data, including faunal and floral materials, have been accumulated from numerous rescue excavations of Jomon sites that took place between the 1970s and late 1990s. These archaeological data allowed the development of detailed culture historical studies of the Jomon Period that span over 10,000 years.

This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication.

  • A Comparative and Historical Analysis of Elite Sport Programs in Australia and Pakistan

    A Comparative and Historical Analysis of Elite Sport Programs in Australia and Pakistan

    A COMPARATIVE AND HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF ELITE SPORT PROGRAMS IN AUSTRALIA AND PAKISTAN, 1947-2007 by Mohammad Akh tar Nawaz Ganjera A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Human Movement, Recreation and Performance Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia December 2007 ii Abstract Despite the fact that a number of academic studies compare the development of sport systems, a formal comparison of the elite sport programs of Pakistan with any other nation has yet to be undertaken. As a response to this gap in the literature, this thesis provides the first detailed comparison of elite sport programs in Australia and Pakistan between 1947 and 2007. In terms of the structure of the thesis, a critical evaluation of relevant sports history literature and other source material is followed by an overview of the historical background, political development, and culture of Australia and Pakistan. A descriptive narrative of different sport policies and programs in both countries is then provided and a number of important issues are subsequently analysed in a more thematic manner. Institutions responsible for the organisation of sport and physical activity in both countries are considered and the distribution of financial resources from the government to elite sporting programs is also investigated. Specific attention is given to programs associated with the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games. Finally, an agenda for initiatives and research relevant to the future promotion of elite sport, particularly in Pakistan, is recommended. In broad terms, this research adds considerably to knowledge of the sport systems of both countries, and has the potential to enhance understandings of the history and development of government involvement in the delivery of elite sport programs.

    NEWSLETTER | JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH 2020 from the President’S Desk

    INDIAN OLYMPIC ASSOCIATION QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER | JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH 2020 From the President’s Desk Dear IOA Members and Colleagues, As you are all aware, an unprecedented situation confronts the world today due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These are testing times and we need to be brave and disciplined. In these challenging times, the safety and well-being of our athletes is of utmost importance and all support must be extended to ensure the same. It is also heartening that a large number of IOA members have pledged support towards the PM Cares Fund for the cause of our nation’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. This truly magnanimous and generous response from our National Sports Federations, State Olympic Associations and Executive Council Members is extremely heartening in this time of need and I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Due to the constantly changing environment and the resulting postponement of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, the new dates for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad have been announced and they are scheduled to be held from 23 July 2021 to 8 August 2021. I am sure that all Olympic NSFs have shared communication about the postponement with their qualified and probable athletes. I congratulate all athletes who have achieved Tokyo Olympic qualification in the last quarter. I hope you will work towards bettering your sporting performance in the run up to the Games. Further, in view of this postponement, I request the NSFs to start planning towards our Olympic goal once the remaining Olympic qualification events are announced and the prevailing situation due to COVID-19 normalises.

    Recovering Asia's Lost West

    AFMA Paper／AFMA報告 Recovering Asia’s Lost West Iran’s Asian Connections in the Realm of Sport H. E. CHEHABI Ⅰ . Introduction Ⅱ . Wrestling Ⅲ . Polo Ⅳ . The Asian Games Ⅴ . Conclusion I. Introduction One of the inconsistencies of contemporary geopolitical nomenclature is that the continent of Asia seems to have lost its West. In North America and Europe one speaks of East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, but almost never of West Asia. It is often forgotten that Asia extends all the way to the city of Istanbul, the world’s only major city which is located on two continents; indeed, driving through European Istanbul, one is directed to the two bridges that link the two parts of the city by signs pointing to “Asia.” And yet, in the United States the geographic area covered by the Association for Asian Studies does not include anything west of Pakistan, an area that is covered by the Middle Eastern Studies Association. The term “Middle East” was coined by the American naval strategist Alfred 303 Recovering Asia’s Lost West: Iran’s Asian Connections in the Realm of Spor（t Chehabi） 31-2_中東学会.indb 303 2016/03/15 16:43:22 Thayer Mahan in 1902 to designate the area between Arabia and India, which in his mind was centered on the Persian Gulf [Mahan 1902]. Mahan’s article was reprinted in The Times and followed in October by a twenty-article series entitled “The Middle Eastern Question,” written by the British journalist, historian, and diplomat Sir Ignatius Valentine Chirol (1852-1929). Chirol expanded the definition of Middle East to include “those regions of Asia which extend to the borders of India or command the approaches to India.” In the course of World War I, the term “Middle East” was adopted by the British government to designate those regions of the Ottoman Empire, essentially the area south of Anatolia, that were to become “national” states for Arabs, Jews, and Armenians under British tutelage [Renton 2007].

  • Iranian Women, Inside Or Outside of the Stadium? an Anthropological Study on Female Representation of National Identity in Iran

    Iranian Women, Inside Or Outside of the Stadium? an Anthropological Study on Female Representation of National Identity in Iran

    Hassanzadeh, A. (2019). Iranian women, inside or outside of the stadium? An anthropological study on female representation of national identity in Iran. Journal of Sociology of Social Institution University of (English Article), 5(12), 73-100. Mazandaran Iranian Women, Inside or Outside of the Stadium? An Anthropological Study on Female Representation of National Identity in Iran Alireza Hassanzadeh1 Received: 4 Nov 2018 Accepted: 25 Feb 2019 Abstract A controversial and comprehensive debate that has resulted in numerous discursive clashes in Iran pertains to the presence of women at stadiums during male soccer matches. Different discourse systems have expressed their own contradictory and opposite stances in terms of whether Iranian women have the right to attend such events inside or outside the stadium, ranging from different notions of ritual pollution and moral threats to gender equality and women rights in public spheres and spaces. When the debate is considered more in depth, a question arises about the female representation of national identity in Iran: What is the status and role of the female body in symbolic demonstration of the national body of Iranian society as a kind of social body? It seems that there is a discursive debate about the symbolic representation of female body in public sphere in Iran. To provide further insight into this question, ethnographic methods, participant observations and different models of interviews (focus and nominal interviews) were employed in the fields and cultural areas under study. The purpose of this article is to examine the systems of discourses about the allowance or prohibition of the presence of women at soccer stadiums and the cultural foundations and backgrounds that have given shape to these discourses over recent decades.
