  • 1 the Politics of the Arena
    THE POLITICS OF THE ARENA 1 1 The Politics of the Arena Origin and Growth of Games The great games of the ancient Mediterranean grew out of religious holidays to become spectacular celebrations of the divine pantheon, events that not only called upon divine support to ensure continued prosperity for the state, but also offered an elaborate, formalized series of actions that encouraged, even required, the participation of an expanded human audience. These spectacles tended to follow a standard format of procession, sacrifice, and games. The procession, the first part of the festival, was, practically speaking, a means of conveying the worshipers, the officiants, and their implements of worship to the sacred space of the altar or temple. To enhance the ritual quality of the movement, the procession followed a specific, religiously significant pathway; the personnel were arranged in a specific order; the participants wore particular kinds of clothing, spoke or sang ritual words. These guidelines could involve sacrificial animals in the procession as well, who not only would be draped in wreaths or ribbons, to set them apart from “common” animals, to make them “sacred”, but also were meant to conform to certain kinds of behavior: they had to seem willing to approach the altar, and cult officials who accompanied them made sure of this. The procession was followed by the sacrifice. Sacrifice was the basic act of Graeco-Roman religion, establishing a positive relationship between deity and worshiper through the offering of a gift; this could mean the immolation of an animal, the pouring of a wine or oil libation, or setting cakes or flowers on the god’s altar for his enjoyment.

    / • A**t*t*h NUMBER 7 MARCH 1963 VOLUME 1 PHILATELIC ASPECTS OF THE PAN AMERICAN GAMES - Bob Bruce - The Pan American Games are one of six specific competitions to which the Inter­ national Olympic Committee has given Its definite sanction. These Include the Far East Games (discontinued In 1930) and the Central American and Caribbean Games, the Bolivarlan Games, the Pan American Games, the Mediterranean Games, and the Asian Games, all of which are going strongly In their Individual cycles despite scattered political handicaps In a few cases. The plan for the Pan American Games is for competition every four years in the year directly preceding the Olympic Games. Entry Is limited to the countries of North, Central, and South America. The first Pan American Games were held In Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1951. Then followed Games In Mexico City in 1955 and in Chi­ cago in 1959. The Fourth Pan American Games will be held from April 20th to May 5th of this year in Sao Paulo, Brazil. With these Games leas than two months away, plans for participation by the ath­ letes of the United States are in the final stage of execution. Yet the very timing of the Games presents some Intriguing problems. Since the Games are being staged In what i3 normally an "off-season" for this country, United States Olympic Committee activities relative to team selection and pre-competltion conditioning are forced into a race against time. In addition, it is likely that the personnel of this Pan American team will exceed In number that on an average Olympic team at the very time when regular fund raising programs are Just beginning to get underway.

  • The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany
    The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany The Paralympic Movement and the Olympics in Germany Gudrun DOLL-TEPPER, Prof.Dr. （Free University Berlin / German Olympic Sports Confederation） Introduction In 2006, the “German Sports Confederation” （Deutscher Sportbund） and the “National Olympic Committee for Germany” （Nationales Olympisches Komitee für Deutschland） merged, and the “German Olympic Sports Confederation”（Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund/DOSB） became the umbrella sport organisation in Germany. In this paper, the main goals of this merging process, some historical developments, as well as current structures and issues will be discussed with a focus on the relations between the DOSB and disability sport organisations, in particular the “German Disability Sport Organisation”（Deutscher Behindertensportverband）, which also serves as the “National Paralympic Committee Germany ” （Nationales Paralympisches Komitee）. Both organisations are working together in a variety of programmes and projects, e.g. in the preparation of bids to host Olympic and Paralympic Games. “Inclusion” has become a keyword for many initiatives in German sports, particularly regarding the implementation of the “UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities”, which entered into force in March 2009. 1. A look back: Sport developments in Germany after World War II After World War II Germany was divided into the “Federal Republic of Germany” （FRG, West Germany） and the “German Democratic Republic” （GDR, East Germany）. As a consequence, this division existed also in the newly established sport 1 Journal of Paralympic Research Group vol.5 organisations（see Deutscher Sportbund 1990）: the “National Olympic Committee for Germany”（NOK für Deutschland） was founded in 1949 and the “NOC for the GDR” followed in 1951.

Dawn Lucy (later Gaskin) was the first athlete I ever coached. Previously, she had made little progress for several years. In our first season together her improvement was such that the local newspaper was prompted to address her performances with this headline. ABSTRACT This study explores the history of English women's athletics, from the earliest references up to 1980. There is detailed discussion of smock racing and pedestrianism during the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries, but attention is focused on the period from 1921, when international and then domestic governing bodies were formed and athletics .became established as a legitimate sporting activity for women.

  • I TEAM JAPAN: THEMES of 'JAPANESENESS' in MASS MEDIA
    i TEAM JAPAN: THEMES OF ‘JAPANESENESS’ IN MASS MEDIA SPORTS NARRATIVES A Dissertation submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael Plugh July 2015 Examining Committee Members: Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Nancy Morris, Media and Communication Doctoral Program John Campbell, Media and Communication Doctoral Program Lance Strate, External Member, Fordham University ii © Copyright 2015 by MichaelPlugh All Rights Reserved iii Abstract This dissertation concerns the reproduction and negotiation of Japanese national identity at the intersection between sports, media, and globalization. The research includes the analysis of newspaper coverage of the most significant sporting events in recent Japanese history, including the 2014 Koshien National High School Baseball Championships, the awarding of the People’s Honor Award, the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wrestler Hakuho’s record breaking victories in the sumo ring, and the bidding process for the 2020 Olympic Games. 2054 Japanese language articles were examined by thematic analysis in order to identify the extent to which established themes of “Japaneseness” were reproduced or renegotiated in the coverage. The research contributes to a broader understanding of national identity negotiation by illustrating the manner in which established symbolic boundaries are reproduced in service of the nation, particularly via mass media. Furthermore, the manner in which change is negotiated through processes of assimilation and rejection was considered through the lens of hybridity theory. iv To my wife, Ari, and my children, Hiroto and Mia.
