The actions of several individuals and influence of a variety of forces insured the creation of and dominance of American football as the intercollegiate sport of choice by the turn of the nineteenth century. In American institutions of higher education ‘gridiron football', in the vernacular of that era, represented the nascent ‘national pastime' that triumphed on US campuses.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"31 1","pages":"109 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2014-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523367.2013.861420","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60078078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the athletes from other parts of the world were eager to raise appeals against controversial judgements at London 2012, those from China were reluctant. The argument here is that the reluctance was a duty of the Chinese Olympic delegation with the aim of relieving the concern of the international society that China was likely to become the Middle Kingdom in the Pacific Rim. A non-confrontational China at London 2012 was considered a placatory diplomatic gesture by the Chinese authorities.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"56 1","pages":"1735 - 1747"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2013-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523367.2013.811646","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60078321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Open boats have since been remembered as ‘typically Australian’, radically opposed to the forms and ceremonies of the yachting establishment, and even as sharing the characteristics of the bushman, an archetype of Australian national identity. This article traces the rise of open-boat sailing as a working-class spectator sport and the associated image of an ‘open boat legend’. It argues that open-boat sailing remained a Sydney legend in the 1890s. However, links to working traditions and place have made it possible for popular histories of sailing and yachting to present the open boats and sailors of the period with identifiably Australian characteristics.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"30 1","pages":"145 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523367.2012.746813","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It demonstrates the origin and continuity of state policy, and addresses the strong effect of politics and social and economic transformation in shaping state policy on physical education in China. It considers that the formation and development of state policy on physical education in China has always been shaped by political, cultural and ideological requirements. From the 1950s to the 1970s, for ideological reasons, China imported the Soviet Union's physical education techniques, which emphasised physique-oriented sporting skill learning, and abandoned American physical education concepts that was focused on cultivating students' personalities. Since the beginning of the reform and the opening-up of China in the late 1970s, physical education in China not only was de-militarised, but it also generally realised a transformation from a physique-oriented national interest requirement to serving multi-objectives and being student-oriented.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"29 1","pages":"583 - 600"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523367.2012.658191","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It represents a group of visitors at a museum, attending to a uniformed guard who adopts an oratorical stance while expounding on the virtues of one of the many works displayed on the walls of these ornate surroundings. One of the museum visitors, however, has chosen to ignore this official commentary, listening instead to a sports commentary delivered on the small transistor radio he holds to his ear. Billions of these popular cultural artefacts were sold globally during the 1960s, and became a common sight at sports grounds, as owners listened to commentary and results elsewhere. Here it is specifically a football match that captures the museum visitor’s attention far more than the surrounding art, as the radio commentator announces, as articulated in the accompanying caption, ‘Greaves passes to Gilzean, Gilzean to Greaves, Greaves puts the ball across to Mackay, brilliant header by Chalmers . . .’. The inclusion in the commentary of the names of well-known players – Jimmy Greaves, Alan Gilzean and Dave Mackay of Tottenham Hotspur and Steve Chalmers of Celtic – enables a precise identification of the match being played. On the previous day these two teams had met at Hampden Park in Glasgow in a pre-season friendly; Tottenham appeared as FA Cup victors (having recently beaten Chelsea 2–1) and Celtic as the first British team to bring home the European Cup (having defeated Inter Milan 2–1 in Portugal). This careful staging of a match between the winners of the so-called ‘Cockney Cup Final’ and the ‘Lisbon Lions’ was clearly designed to reflect the current strength of British football, and stand on the shoulders of England’s famous victory in the World Cup the previous summer. It also reflected an increasing media attention devoted to football, not least of all an expansion of television coverage. For example, the BBC’s flagship football programme Match of the Day had first been broadcast just three years earlier in 1964 and live coverage of big games in the FA Cup, the European Cup and the World Cup was increasingly becoming the norm. Football, along with other forms of mass entertainment such as pop music, was changing the face of British culture. In this context, Giles’s cartoon notably highlights the transgressive potential of popular culture when it invades a notionally more highbrow environment, such as","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"28 1","pages":"1370 - 1374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2011-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523367.2011.567783","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article unpacks the relationship between Brazil and the sport of motor racing, something that is strongly connected to the role played by the automobile since its arrival in Brazil. The main purpose of this article, however, is to discuss the history of Brazilian motor racing from the first structured auto races (São Paulo, 1908, and Rio de Janeiro, 1909) until the dawn of the Rio de Janeiro Grand Prix, staged at the famous Gávea Circuit, which represents the critical point at which Brazilian motor racing entered the highest echelons of world motor sport.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"28 1","pages":"253 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2011-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523367.2011.537915","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During those eras, sport provided templates of competition and combat. The most recent dictatorship showcased sport along with a ‘canon’ of historical re-enactments in massive open-air spectacles, which deserve further attention. The strongmen of both regimes saw, in addition to communist threats, signs of decay in Greek society, and they insisted on military-style discipline and orderliness. How then did their regimes approach sport? Or rather, how did they manage to convey persuasive images of sport and of the political propaganda behind it? This article addresses the above questions and reconstructs the dictators' excessive acts of stage-managing a mass theatre of indoctrination through athletic events, military displays and historical re-enactments. I argue that Greek dictatorial regimes allocated an important role to sport and bodily culture to shore up their nationalist ‘mission’ and that, as a result, they militarized and politicized the field. The essay pays brief attention also to the realm of pedagogy, because those regimes wanted school instruction and discipline training to be conducted in a ‘patriotic’ and militaristic fashion.","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"27 1","pages":"2121 - 2154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523367.2010.495226","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has proven especially true for indigenous peoples. Colonial agents, ranging from administrators to missionaries—routinely misunderstood indigenous sporting practices and regularly worked to end them. At the same time, European athletic pursuits were seized upon as a means to social indigenous peoples, offering the discipline and enculturation necessary to civilize cultures deemed savage. Ironically perhaps, sport reinforced prevailing images and interpretations, precisely because its corporeality demonstrated its proponents believed the truism of their race-based distinctions. As such, sport became crucial to the establishment of social boundaries and racial hierarchies, encouraging the exclusion of brown bodies from white spaces and from emerging white settler states. Even as they sought to marginalize indigenous peoples, settlers made a habit of taking and remaking their practices (such as surfing and haka) for power, pleasure, and profit no less than for the claims on place and to identity it offered them. Importantly, in the wake of the Second World War and quickened by freedom struggles locally and globally, a decolonial moment opened and with it the possibilities of sport changed radically. Rather than civilize indigenous peoples (whatever that might mean), sport opened significant sites to challenge the prevailing imperial order and its racial logics and to formulate novel identities that empowered previously marginalized communities. Across Australia, New Zealand/Aotearoa, and the United States, sport played a key role in causing this break and in the manner that native and settler communities would work to come to terms with it. While multiculturalism came to prevail in distinct forms in each of these settler states, racism directed at indigenous people did not go away so much as it was recoded, moved back stage, or redirected: the struggles of P akeh a in New Zealand/Aotearoa to come to terms with M aori in rugby, the racism that persists in recruiting Aboriginal Australian footballers in Australia, and the exploitation of Polynesian bodies and","PeriodicalId":47491,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of the History of Sport","volume":"26 1","pages":"2447 - 2449"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2009-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09523360903550215","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60077548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
