摘要

本文的目标是重新定义政治与体育实践之间的关系,目的是对体育政治理论可以探索的广泛主题进行手势。许多体育哲学理论,包括占主导地位的互惠主义观点,都是内部主义的:它们认为,体育运动内部存在一些独特的逻辑,必须以最好的方式解释我们的体育实践。然而,在试图阐明这种独特的内在逻辑时,互惠主义者将体育从更广泛的背景中隔离出来,以自己的方式理解体育实践。我认为,这种方法论上的决定引发了一种毫无根据的假设,即体育实践和政治构成了两个独立的领域,彼此之间几乎没有关系。因此,互惠主义为我们提供了对体育实践的贫乏理解——尤其是在殖民背景下。与这种观点相反,我使用CLR James的著作来展示板球的内部规范和规则是如何同时使压迫性的社会结构永续下去的,并阐明了解放性政治项目的开端。这反过来又有可能将体育哲学内部的辩论与围绕抵抗和压迫的问题联系起来。

Cricket and colonialism: Towards a political theory of sport
The goal of this paper is to reconceptualise the relationship between politics and sporting practice with the aim of gesturing towards broad themes that a political theory of sport could explore. Many philosophical theories of sport, including the dominant mutualist view, are internalist: they suggest that there is some distinctive logic internal to sports that must feature in the best explanation of our sporting practices. Yet, in attempting to articulate this distinctive internal logic, mutualists quarantine sport from its wider context to understand sporting practice on its own terms. This methodological decision, I argue, invites the unwarranted assumption that sporting practice and politics constitute two separate domains bearing little to no relation to one another. Consequently, mutualism provides us with an impoverished understanding of sporting practice – especially in colonial contexts. Against this view, I use CLR James' writings to show how the internal norms and rules of cricket simultaneously perpetuate an oppressive social structure and articulate the beginnings of an emancipatory political project. This, in turn, has the potential to connect debates within the philosophy of sport to questions around resistance and oppression.

期刊介绍: The European Journal of Political Theory provides a high profile research forum. Broad in scope and international in readership, the Journal is named after its geographical location, but is committed to advancing original debates in political theory in the widest possible sense--geographical, historical, and ideological. The Journal publishes contributions in analytic political philosophy, political theory, comparative political thought, and the history of ideas of any tradition. Work that challenges orthodoxies and disrupts entrenched debates is particularly encouraged. All research articles are subject to triple-blind peer-review by internationally renowned scholars in order to ensure the highest standards of quality and impartiality.
