  • Ideals and Significance of the Paralympics: Observations from Temporal and Spatial Dimensions
    Ideals and Significance of the Paralympics: Observations from Temporal and Spatial Dimensions Ideals and Significance of the Paralympics: Observations from Temporal and Spatial Dimensions Kazuo OGOURA Introduction As the Paralympics becomes more widely recognized and the public’s knowledge and interest grows, Paralympic competitions are, in part, starting to be commercialized and made into a form of entertainment. The current situation calls for a re-evaluation of what has been considered as the essential significance and effect of the Paralympic Games and the Paralympic Movement on society. In other words, there is an increasing need to look back on the history of the Paralympics to examine its original significance and ideals and, at the same time, to re-evaluate or re-examine the significance and ideals of the Paralympics through comparisons with similar international games and movements. From this perspective, this article will attempt to revisit the original ideals of the Paralympics and to look back on the history of the Paralympics. It will also discuss the significance and ideals of the Paralympics from social and international perspectives, in particular through comparisons with other international disability sports competitions: the Deaflympics, Special Olympics, the VIRTUS（previously INAS） Global Games for persons with intellectual disability, and the Invictus Games. The observation and analysis will focus on Paralympic ideals through the following eight dimensions:（1） as symbolized by the Paralympic symbol;（2） the slogans of the Paralympic Games;（3） the words of Sir Ludwig Guttmann;（4） the speeches at the opening and closing ceremonies; （5） the stage performances at the opening and closing ceremonies, medals, and songs;（6） the achievements of the recipients of the Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award; （7） comparison with major international disability sports competitions; and（8） comparison with the ideals of Japan’s National Sports Festival for People with Disabilities.

  • Sport and Racial Discrimination in Colonial Zimbabwe: a Reanalysis Reassessing the Myth of Multiracial Sport in Rhodesia Followi
    Sport and Racial Discrimination in Colonial Zimbabwe: A Reanalysis Reassessing the Myth of Multiracial Sport in Rhodesia Following the exclusion of South Africa from international sporting events because of strict racial segregation on the playing field in the late 1960s, the anti-apartheid movement focused on Rhodesia, a white minority-ruled country in south-central Africa that also had a tradition of racial discrimination. Sport in Rhodesia was never sharply segregated by law as in apartheid South Africa, and a strong narrative developed both in Rhodesia and in the international press that Rhodesian sport was multiracial and should not be punished as South African sport had been.1 The minority white settler population fervently believed segregation in Rhodesia was never as insidious or complete as segregation in South Africa.2 However, racial discrimination in sport still did take place in Rhodesian sport in less overt ways, as sport was a sphere of contested control for much of the colonial period of Southern Rhodesia and then the period of unilateral independence after the white settler minority seceded from the British Empire in 1965. The development of sport in majority-ruled Zimbabwe after 1980 bore a strong imprint of the racialization of sport in colonial Rhodesia. Sporting life in Rhodesia was especially vibrant as the white settler community fully participated in a sporting culture that could rival Britain itself. Sport was an important tool of social acculturation and identity-formation among white settlers themselves, but it also proved to be a tool of social control over the black African population. British colonizers viewed sport as a ‘civilizing’ device to teach important lessons of hygiene and fitness in a manner strictly controlled by the white state.3 However, because of the importance sport held to the white settler minority, it remained a site of social protest and incomplete domination, and some black African autonomy survived in association football, athletics, and other sports.

    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS* NOTES AND DOCUMENTS* February 1977 Univrsiiy / Library SPORTS BOYCOTT IN THE I CAMPAIGN AGAINST APARTHEIDr /-Note: This issue contains a condensed version of an article by Mr. Lapchick, published in the Journal of Sort and Social Issues, Vol., No.l, 1976. Mr. Lapchick is the Executive Director of ARENA, the Institute for Sport and Social Analysis at Virginia Wesleyan College, Norfolk, U.S.A. The views expressed are those of the author.] 77-03375 * All material in these notes and documents may be freely reprinted. Acknowledgement, together with a copy of the publication containing the reprint, would be appreciated. From the moment that the United States team refused to dip the American flag to King Edward VII at the opening ceremonies of the 1908 Olympic Games in London, politics has been inextricably linked with the Olympic Movement in particular and international sport in general. The most flagrant example of the politics of international sport is the case of South Africa. The controversy surrounding the participation of South African teams in international sport also marked the shift of major concern in the politics of international sport from ideology to a new factor: race and racism. This shift was, to a large extent, influenced by the rise of nonWestern nationalism in general, and of African nationalism in particular. The adamant refusal of the South African Government to permit integrated teams to represent their country, that is, the extension of apartheid into sport, has led to intensive global pressures and protests. In spite of those protests, South Africa was permitted to continue its international competiti)n until 1970 when it was dismissed from almost all of the international sports federations and, most importantly, from the Olympic Movement itself.
