  • Olympic Design and National History: the Cases of Tokyo 1964 and Beijing 2008＊
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Arts and Sciences 50 (2009), pp.65-79. Ⓒ Hitotsubashi University OLYMPIC DESIGN AND NATIONAL HISTORY: THE CASES OF TOKYO 1964 AND BEIJING 2008＊ ＊＊ JILLY TRAGANOU The Olympic Games are processes of “nation building,” through which nations become aware of their distinct identity values and take opportunities to send new messages about their status to the rest of the world. This paper describes how some of the graphic design material of the Tokyo 1964 and the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games visually articulated the investment of national content in the newly modernized identities of Japan in 1964 and China in 2008, through different uses of historical references. The Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games were presented in both national and international narratives as events that heralded Japanʼs postwar modernization process in an environment of peace and demilitarization. Through the Olympics, the Japanese government sought to be accepted in an international community that had excluded its country for eighteen years, due to its rolein thePaci fic War. Tokyo 1964 displayed faith in technology, rationalization and consumer society, and its graphic design projects have been seen as emblematic of this era. Most of these projects were designed by important Japanese designers following the rules of modern design, and were granted international recognition. The Beijing 2008 Games operated in the current era, in which China has been undergoing a new modernization process that converges with the capitalist model of development. The Olympics were intended to highlight Chinaʼs change after thirty years of economic reforms, as well as its eagerness to overcome its past humiliation and losses due to foreign hostility.

  • Panagiota Papanikolaou International Hellenic University Greece Abstract
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6; April 2014 ILLUSTRATING THE OLYMPIC GAMES THE ATHENS CASE (1896, 2004) FROM NIKOLAOS GYZIS TO DIMITRIS PAPAÏOANNOY Panagiota Papanikolaou International Hellenic University Greece Abstract Greece is the smallest country to have organised Olympic Games twice, in 1896 and in 2004. The first time was a historically important event, which originated from people who adored Ancient Greece and its achievements in both the fields of sport and culture. Their revival signalled the beginning of a new understanding of Man, introducing the principles of mutual respect and universalism, excellence and sportsmanship. For Greece, its second Olympic Games represented an opportunity to enhance its national identity and to promote its image abroad. The setting was entirely different in 2004. Athens had the appearance of a modern city, the Games were considered to be particularly successful, and this became a source of national pride for its inhabitants. From the outset, the modern Olympic Games have been associated with culture, in line with the vision of the man who inspired them, Pierre de Coubertin. The Cultural Olympiad is the great legacy to the culture of the Olympic Games. At the same time, all visual material relating to the organisation and the carrying out of the Games has adopted aesthetic rules and has had an undeniable artistic character. There are several such items ranging from posters and medals to pictograms and commemorative stamps. This paper lists, evaluates and examines materials which constitute, from all points of view, evidence of the Olympic cultural legacy. Keywords: Arts competition, Cultural Olympiad, Olympic posters, Olympic memorabilia, Olympic ceremonies.
