Abstract

This irreverent and revisionist collection challenges the conventional view that middle-class Victorian leisure had a respectable and serious purpose and approach. It explores the more sinful and unrespectable Victorian male pleasures, demonstrating the complex interrelationships between such values as manliness, muscularity and machismo, or sensuality, virility and hedonism. It sheds light on the ways in which the public rhetoric of Victorian respectability could be rendered problematic by the practical pursuit of private pleasure. It shows that Victorian leisure was a much more contested cul.

Abstract

In this impressive book, Barbara Keys offers the first major study of the political and cultural ramifications of international sports competitions in the decades before World War II. Focusing on the United States, Nazi Germany, and the Soviet Union, she examines the transformation of events like the Olympic Games and the World Cup from relatively small-scale events to the expensive, political, globally popular extravaganzas familiar to us today.

Abstract

Het eerste deel bevat de spelbeschrijvingen van zowat dertig traditionele kinderspelen. Ieder spel wordt ingeleid met een bondige historische situering. Daarna volgen de spelregels met toelichting van de variante speelwijzen. In het volgende deel worden diverse toepassings- en aanbiedingsvormen besproken of met andere woorden : wat kan de jeugdwerker, de onderwijzer, de ouder in de praktijk met deze spelletjes doen? Toepassingsvormen zoals het rad der fortuin, een ganzenspel, een laddercompetitie, zijn enkele aangename mogelijkheden om een spelnamiddag te doen slagen.

Abstract

Like no other nation on earth, Americans eagerly blend their religion and sports. This book traces this dynamic relationship from the Puritan condemnation of games as sinful in the seventeenth century to the near deification of athletic contests in our own day.

Abstract

L'Ecole n'a pas accueilli sans réserves ni réticences l'enseignement de la gymnastique. Il s'est imposé à partir des efforts de Duruy sous l'Empire libéral et surtout des pionniers de la République autour de Jules Ferry. Il a eu parfois du mal à trouver sa définition puisqu'il devait être à la fois culture rationnelle du corps, apprentissage de la méthode et de la rigueur, initiation à l'hygiène et formation prémilitaire tout imprégnée d'esprit patriotique et revanchard. C'est cette partie complexe et difficilement gagnée que Pierre Arnaud décrit en montrant ce que furent les débuts de l'éducation physique dans les écoles et lycées lyonnais.

But will the Olympics make a lasting difference? This book approaches questions about the nature and future of China through the lens of sports-particularly as sports finds its utmost international expression in the Olympics.

Abstract

Moderne sport is het product van de industriële samenleving. Hoe meer werk de machines ons uit handen nemen, des te harder we zweten op het sportveld. Waar machines van slijten, zouden spieren door gestaald worden. Trainen moeten we! Alleen dieren weten beter: die doen niet aan sport en zijn toch zo fris als een hoentje. (Bron: covertekst)

Abstract

The Cold War spanned some five decades from the devastation that remained after World War Two until the fall of the Berlin wall, and for much of that time the perception was that only on the Eastern side were politics and sport inextricably linked. However, this assumption underestimates the extent to which sport was an important symbol for both power blocs in their ongoing ideological struggle.This collection of essays from leading international authorities on sport, culture and ideology brings together an impressive body of work organized around key political themes and outstanding

Abstract

This text traces the evolution of sports development in the UK in the context of broader shifts in sport and social policy. It explores the emergence of sports development from the early years of public policy for sport in the 1960s to the contemporary era. This analysis is set against a background of policy initiatives, from 'Sport For All', 'Action Sport' and CCT, to the National Lottery and the contemporary emphasis on sport as a factor in the social and cultural well-being of the nation.Incorporating original material from major case studies and the national governing bodies of hockey,
