Lịch Sử Bơi Giải
Bơi Bơi là sự vận động trong nước, thường không có sự trợ giúp nhân tạo. Bơi là một hoạt động vừa hữu ích vừa có tính giải trí. Bơi thường được sử dụng khi tắm, làm mát, di chuyển, đánh cá, giải trí, luyện tập và thể thao. Lịch sử Bài chi tiết: Lịch sử bơi Bơi đã được biết đến từ thời tiền sử. Tư liệu sớm nhất về bơi đã có từ thời kỳ đồ Đá qua các bức họa cách đây 7000 năm. Tài liệu chữ viết có từ khoảng 2000 năm TCN. Những tài liệu tham khảo sớm nhất bao gồm các tác phẩm Gilgamesh, Odyssey, Kinh Thánh (Ezekiel 47:5, Acts 27:42, Isaiah 25:11), Beowulf và truyện dân gian của các dân tộc Bắc Âu. Năm 1538, Nikolaus Wynman, một giáo sư ngôn ngữ người Đức đã viết cuốn sách đầu tiên nói về bơi, tên cuốn sách đó là: Người bơi hay Một cuộc Đối thoại về Nghệ thuật bơi (Der Schwimmer oder ein Zwiegespräch über die Schwimmkunst). Bơi thi đấu bắt đầu được tổ chức tại châu Âu từ khoảng năm 1800, phần lớn là bơi ếch. Năm 1873 John Arthur Trudgen giới thiệu kiểu bơi trudgen với những vận động viên bơi châu Âu, sau khi ông sao chép kiểu bơi trườn sấp của thổ dân châu Mĩ. Vì người Anh không thích việc nước bị tung tóe khi bơi nên Trudgen đã sử dụng kiểu đạp chân cắt kéo thay cho kiểu đạp chân vẫy của bơi trườn sấp. -
The Impact of the Manchester Music Scene on Youth Fashion 1986 to 1996
Loose Fit? The Impact of the Manchester Music Scene on Youth Fashion 1986 to 1996 Susan Atkin A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art and Design Manchester Metropolitan University 2016 Abstract This thesis questions the stereotype of the loose fitting silhouette of the Mancunian music scene from 1986 to 1996, exploring the links between the city’s music scene and local youth fashion. It establishes the important contribution of fashion to culture in the music scene and the distinct local “looks” that resulted. The thesis explores the literature of subculture and identity, enriched by the concepts of bricolage and local fashion. The contributory influence of the Manchester music scene is investigated in its public and private sites of creation and consumption. Combining cultural studies, dress history and fashion theory, the research is based on oral evidence in the form of active interviews, supported by analysis of contemporary images. Interviewees were pre-identified for their role in Mancunian fashion and music. These revealed previously unidentified aspects of Mancunian dress, which inform a discussion of the nature and context of local fashion in the period. Salient findings included the eloquence with which men can talk about clothes, and the sources and methods of the quest for authenticity through “looks”. The thesis repositions subculture, in the light of the shift toward more mutable groupings, and affiliations that can change with site. These formed a multi-faceted movement that was able to embrace both mainstream culture and its subversions. -
