  • The History of Bodybuilding: International and Hungarian Aspects
    Művelődés-, Tudomány- és Orvostörténeti Folyóirat 2020. Vol. 10. No. 21. Journal of History of Culture, Science and Medicine e-ISSN: 2062-2597 DOI: 10.17107/KH.2020.21.165-178 The History of Bodybuilding: International and Hungarian Aspects A testépítés története: nemzetközi és magyar vonatkozások Petra Németh doctoral student dr. Andrea Gál docent Doctoral School of Sport Sciences, University of Physical Education [email protected], [email protected] Initially submitted Sept 2, 2020; accepted for publication Oct..20, 2020 Abstract Bodybuilding is a scarcely investigated cultural phenomenon in social sciences, and, in particular, historiography despite the fact that its popularity both in its competitive and leisure form has been on the rise, especially since the 1950s. Development periods of this sport are mainly identified with those iconic competitors, who were the most dominant in the given era, and held the ‘Mr. Olympia’ title as the best bodybuilders. Nevertheless, sources reflecting on the evolution of organizational background and the system of competitions are more difficult to identify. It is similarly challenging to investigate the history of female bodybuilding, which started in the 19th century, but its real beginning dates back to the 1970s. For analysing the history of international bodybuilding, mainly American sources can be relied on, but investigating the Hungarian aspects is hindered by the lack of background materials. Based on the available sources, the objective of this study is to discover the development

  • Attaining Olympus: a Critical Analysis of Performance-Enhancing Drug Law and Policy for the 21St Century
    Franco Book Proof (Do Not Delete) 4/16/19 11:35 PM ATTAINING OLYMPUS: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUG LAW AND POLICY FOR THE 21ST CENTURY ALEXANDRA M. FRANCO1 ABSTRACT While high-profile doping scandals in sports always garner attention, the public discussion about the use of performance-enhancing substances ignores the growing social movement towards enhancement outside of sports. This Article discusses the flaws in the ethical origins and justifications for modern anti-doping law and policy. It analyzes the issues in the current regulatory scheme through its application to different sports, such as cycling and bodybuilding. The Article then juxtaposes those issues to general anti-drug law applicable to non-athletes seeking enhancement, such as students and professionals. The Article posits that the current regulatory scheme is harmful not only to athletes but also to people in general—specifically to their psychological well-being—because it derives from a double social morality that simultaneously shuns and encourages the use of performance-enhancing drugs. I. INTRODUCTION “Everybody is going to do what they do.” — Phil Heath, Mr. Olympia champion.2 The relationship between performance-enhancing drugs and American society has been problematic for the past several decades. High- profile doping scandals regularly garner media attention—for example, 1. © Alexandra M. Franco, J.D.

  • Generation Iron: “No, You Couldn't Do What I Do”
    GENERATION IRON: “NO, YOU COULDN'T DO WHAT I DO” by Pietro Calautti A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mass Communication Middle Tennessee State University August 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Jane Marcellus, Chair Dr. Clare Bratten Dr. Katie Foss This thesis is dedicated to all the brave men who sacrificed their bodies blocking for George Rogers in his quest for the 1980 Heisman Trophy. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, my committee, Jane Marcellus, Clare Bratten, and Katie Foss. Their patience and help has bordered on saint-like. My close friend and confidant in all things academic, among other important subjects, Alan Marrero. Denis Fatovic for his support and encouragement. Anik Sood in his unending faith in me, even when I don't see it. Dan Venning and Emma Halpern without whom I would be lost in this world. Matt Hunger for being the only person I know who understands what media is really like, at least in the same way I do. Pedro and Kelci Lourido for making Tennessee feel like home. iii ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes the 2013 observational documentary film Generation Iron, directed by Vlad Yudin and produced by Edwin Mejia. Methodologically, it employs a textual analysis along with a contextual grounding. The theoretical basis for this analysis is a combination of postmodernism, as described by Jean Baudrillard and Fredric Jameson, as well as Stuart Hall's theories on encoding/decoding as well as representational media. The argument of this thesis is that the documentary Generation Iron represents the muscular male form of the subjects in the film as hyperreal, concealing their inexplicable nature by means of the logic of a simulation, in this case through the use of the opacity of human genetics.
