  • Synchronized Skating in Canada: Historical and Ethnographic Perspectives1
    Synchronized Skating in Canada: Historical and Ethnographic Perspectives1 LESLIE HALL Abstract: Figure skating is an interdisciplinary activity, going beyond athletics and involving choreography, music, creativity, spectacle and interpretation. This ethnographic study focuses on a transnational figure skating genre called synchronized skating, performed mainly by girls and young women on teams consisting of ten to twenty skaters. Drawing on historical and ethno- graphic perspectives, the author examines local and national practices with an emphasis on how synchronized skating embodies musical, social and political synergies. or many people born in Canada, skating is part of childhood. Whether Fdone in a rural or urban setting, outdoors or indoors, skating is often a family activity. The Canadian cities of Ottawa and Winnipeg boast the long- est outdoor skating rinks in the world. In February 2006 the “Great Skate,” a fund-raising event for underprivileged children, took place across Canada in 230 locations, including ponds, rivers and skating rinks. More than sev- enty thousand participants skated to raise money to support children whose families could not afford recreational activities. Canada has achieved inter- national figure skating recognition, producing Kurt Browning, four-time Men’s World Champion, and Olympic Gold medallists Jamie Salé, David Pelletier, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, among others. Figure skating is interdisciplinary and “falls between the cracks” of scholarly research. It goes beyond athletics because it involves music, chore- ography, creativity, spectacle and interpretation. Some recent ethnographic studies have focussed on the “athletics versus aesthetics” debate that sepa- rates “pure sports” from sports that have a performing arts component (see Grindstaff and West 2006, and Picart 2006).

    November/December 2006 Issue 9 Sports and Games Visit us at babel.uoregon.edu/globaltalk We all need a sporting chance and Global Talk has given us just that. What other magazine allows faculty and students to bridge the global linguistic divide? And what other publication so deftly illustrates the connections between all the languages spoken in our midst, be they part of our community’s common awareness or lesser known. For this reason, it is my pleas ure to introduce Global Talk’s current issue, dedicated to sport around the world. I do so on behalf of the Scandinav ian section and the department of German and Scandinavian. The Scandinavian languages have been taught at the Un iversity of Oregon since 1899 and Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish are now taught every year, continuin g to be part of a tradition of language instruction here at the U of O. Internat ional competition in sports has become a commonplace event. The first modern Olympic games were held in 1896 in G reece, thereby honoring their origins and it is important to remember that the ancients suspended their hostilities during this time of competition, the “sacred truce.” During this time, no death penalties could be carried out, safe passage was guaranteed, and no armed forces could enter the sanctuary where the games were held. Sport like language, can be a medium that channels agon (competition) creatively rendering differences interesting. My thanks go out to Global Talk and its staff for being the living embodiment of the sacred truce by giving us the chance to sport our differ ences proudly.
