Reading Baron Pierre De Coubertin: Issues of Gender and Race
Reading Baron Pierre de Coubertin: Issues of Gender and Race Dikaia Chatziefstathiou Baron Pierre de Coubertin, like many other Frenchmen, wanted revenge for the defeat and the lost provinces of Alsace and Lorraine in the Franco- Prussian war. As a descendant of an aristocratic family, Coubertin might have felt a special responsibility ‘to seek revanche for the debacle at Sedan’ (Guttmann, 1992, 8). As with many young aristocrats, Coubertin initially considered a military career. After spending some time at the French military academy at St. Cyr, he was persuaded that becoming a soldier would not suit him. He subsequently decided to attend classes at the École Libre des Sciences Politiques, where the social theories of Fréderic Le Play attracted his attention (Guttmann, 1992, 8). In 1883, he joined the Unions de la Paix, founded by Le Play, and he wrote many essays that were published in Le Play’s journal La Reforme Sociale. Although Coubertin studied history, literature, education, sociology and many other subjects, he focused his attention on education, and in particular on sports education (pédagogie sportive) (Hill, 1992). Coubertin thought that the defeat in the Franco-Prussian war was not a result of the lack of military skills of Napoleon III, but of the physical inferiority of the average French youth. In the early years of the nineteenth century, at a time that Napoleon I occupied much of Germany, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn had developed an extremely nationalistic form of gymnastics, the ‘Turnen’. Jahn added a patriotic motive to what German educators had developed at the end of the eighteenth century: to unify the divided German Volk and to eject the hated Napoleonic invaders from German soil (Hobsbawm, 1992). -
The Nordic Games and the Olympic Platform As Arena for the Dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union
The Nordic Games and the Olympic platform as arena for the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union Sebastian Kühn Innland Norway University of Applied Sciences and Norwegian Olympic Museum [email protected] Abstract Throughout their existence since 1896, the modern Olympic Games have seen quite a number of political conflicts and boycotts. They have been an arena for diplomatic controversies between sovereign countries and even internally within state structures. Still today, the political map in some cases does not correspond with the Olympic world map. In this regard, also the historical case of Norway and Sweden is an interesting one. Formally, both countries had been in a personal union under the Swedish crown since 1815. Nonetheless, Norway participated in the Olympic Games in Paris 1900 in its own right, due to the huge degree of Norwegian self-governance within the union and the subsequent development of its own sports system. This article examines the role of sport for the Norwegian nation building process and the impact of the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union onto the Nordic Games and Norway’s early involvement in the Olympic Movement. Being the most important predecessor for the Olympic Winter Games, the Nordic Games are of particular interest also for Olympic history.

Retrieved from http:// diagorasjournal.com/index.php/diagoras/article/view/66 94 Introduction At the end of the 19th century, in a climate of social changes and political turmoil in the union with Sweden, new political structures and especially an emerging liberal movement, resulted in a growing sentiment of Norwegian nationality. -
The Spirit of the Olympics Vs
International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 23; December 2012 The Spirit of the Olympics vs. Commercial Success: A Critical Examination of the Strategic Position of the Olympic Movement Panagiota Papanikolaou Department of Plastic Arts and Art Theory University of Ioannina Greece Abstract “The Baron‟s Dream” about the revival of the ancient Olympic Games was realised at a time when sport was an essential part of the education of young people, both in France -home country of Baron Pierre de Coubertin- and in England, where views on “the moral influence of physical culture” (Guttmann, 2002˙ Coubertin et al., 1897) where the leitmotiv in discussions amongst the aristocratic circles of the time, albeit, always within the context of amateurism. The ancient fundamental belief regarding the harmonious relationship of body, soul and mind, “the threefold harmony of Hellenism” (Chatziefstratiou & Henry, 2010) whish the Romans term „mens sana in corpore sano‟, became the essential axiom of Olympism: “for education, international understanding, equal opportunities, fair and equal competition, cultural expression, independence of sport and personal excellence embodied in the modern Olympic Games”. This moral and social dimension of the Olympic movement is what distinguishes the Olympic Games “from all other international sport events and institutions” (Girginov, 2010˙ Garcia, 2002). Keywords: Olympic Games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, Olympic Spirit, Olympic Symbols, Commercialisation. Introduction The origins of modern Olympic Games can be traced back to the ancient Olympic Games, which, according to historical sources, were first held in 776 BC at the sanctuary of Olympia. Pausanias, the ancient author and traveler (2nd century AD.), mentions that the sacred games referred to mythology and, in particular, to the confrontation between Saturn and Zeus, and that the first winner in Olympic Games was Hercules Idaios (Papachatzis, 2002). -

Instead, the International Olympic Committee picked Atlanta, which had more robust facilities and offered a greater chance of financial success. While taxpayer money paid for infrastructure improvements supporting the Games, private companies and revenue from tickets funded new sports venues and the actual Games. That meant solvency, but it also opened the door to more commercialism. Politically, the XXVI Olympiad was a triumph, drawing unprecedented international representation. For the first time, athletes from all 197 national Olympic committees participated — more than 10,000 athletes in all. Two dozen nations made their Olympic or Summer Games debut. The Games also marked the return of boxing legend Muhammad Ali to the public eye.
