  • Off the Beaten Track: Women's Sport in Iran, Please Visit Smallmedia.Org.Uk Table of Contents
    OFF THE BEATEN TRACK: WOMEn’s SPORT IN IRAN Islamic women’s sport appears to be a contradiction in terms - at least this is what many in the West believe. … In this respect the portrayal of the development and the current situation of women’s sports in Iran is illuminating for a variety of reasons. It demonstrates both the opportunities and the limits of women in a country in which Islam and sport are not contradictions.1 – Gertrud Pfister – As the London 2012 Olympics approached, issues of women athletes from Muslim majority countries were splashed across the headlines. When the Iranian women’s football team was disqualified from an Olympic qualifying match because their hejab did not conform to the uniform code, Small Media began researching the history, structure and representation of women’s sport in Iran. THIS ZINE PROVIDES A glimpsE INto THE sitUatioN OF womEN’S spoRts IN IRAN AND IRANIAN womEN atHLETES. We feature the Iranian sportswomen who competed in the London 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, and explore how the western media addresses the topic of Muslim women athletes. Of course, we had to ground their stories in context, and before exploring the contemporary situation, we give an overview of women’s sport in Iran in the pre- and post- revolution eras.

  • April 2021 MESSAGE from the EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear Colleagues
    EOC NEWSLETTER No. 211 April 2021 MESSAGE FROM THE EOC ACTING PRESIDENT Dear colleagues, With the countdown clock to Tokyo 2020 now at well under 100 days to go, this summer’s Olympic Games are quickly approaching. As the National Olympic Committees of Europe and our athletes put the final touches on preparations, the latest Playbooks from the International Olympic Committee have given us valuable insight into what this special edition of the Olympic Games will be like. They will unquestionably be different from what we have been used to, and it is clear that each Olympic stakeholder will have to exercise a great deal of flexibility and patience to make these a safe and successful Games for everyone involved. But I remain convinced that we will pull it off as long as we remain united in our purpose – to ultimately provide, through sport, a little hope and encouragement to the world after such a trying and tragic period for humanity. Looking slightly further ahead, the European Olympic Committees continues to make real progress with regard to the European Games Krakow-Malopolska 2023. Last week the EOC Coordination Commission for the Games gathered in Antalya, Turkey for meetings with a range of important stakeholders, including potential partners, who will help us deliver the best edition of our continental Games yet. More information will be communicated to you on this subject in due course. Unfortunately, as you will all know, the Vuokatti Winter EYOF was recently postponed to March 2022, but I think everyone will understand that it was the only choice and will provide the local organisers more time to prepare the festival in the best way.

    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.
