Cher/es
membres,
Guerre, épidémie : les derniers mois n’ont pas créé un climat très
propice à une préparation sereine de nos activités académiques. Certes, de
nombreux échanges ont eu lieu et des contacts étroits sont maintenus avec
l’ICSSPE et le CISH, mais aussi avec la NASSH, la SEAHPES et le CESH, ainsi
qu’avec diverses organisations nationales d’histoire du sport. Mais le
congrès d’Urbino, qui se présentait comme l’un des plus attractifs de
ces dernières années, a du faire face à une quarantaine d’annulations.
Avec plus de 120 communications prévues, la manifestation demeurera néanmoins
l’un des temps forts de l’année et un moment d’intenses échanges
scientifiques. Elle permettra également de remettre le prix de l’ISHPES à
Else Trangbaeck ainsi que le prix Reinhard Sprenger à un jeune chercheur dont
le nom sera révélé lors de l’Assemblée générale.
Le début de l’année 2003 a aussi été consacré à la préparation des
futures rencontres et des engagements de l’ISHPES. Ainsi, 2004 devrait
notamment voir un séminaire sur les sports et les jeux, organisé en
collaboration avec TAFISA, à Montréal, début août, dans le cadre du
Festival mondial des jeux. La décision sera formellement mise au vote lors de
la réunion du Conseil à Urbino. Quelques jours après le Canada, l’ISHPES
sera présente en Grèce, puisque nous avons été sollicités pour assurer
plusieurs tables rondes au congrès olympique qui se déroulera également en
août à Thessalonique. Mais 2003 a surtout été l’occasion d’une première
pour l’ISHPES avec l’organisation d’une école d’été pour doctorants
à Copenhague en juin. Ce bulletin consacre une longue présentation à cette
expérience qui méritera assurément d’être reconduite.
Enfin, je
vous invite à l’Assemblée Générale
de l’ISHPES qui se tiendra à
Urbino le samedi 12 juillet de 17h30 à 19h.
Je vous
souhaite un congrès stimulant et un excellent été.

Dear members,
War, epidemic: the last months resulted in a climate, which was not exactly what one would expect to develop academic activities. Yet numerous exchanges were conducted and tight links were kept with ICSSPE and ICHS, as well as with NASSH, SEAHPES, CESH and various national organizations of sport history. However, the congress of Urbino, which still recently seemed to be one of the most attractive congresses since the last years had to face about forty cancellations. With more than 120 papers planed, the event still promises to be one of the strongest moment of the academic year and a moment of intense scientific debates. It will be in Urbino too, that Else Trangbaeck will receive the ISHPES Award and that the Reinhard Sprenger will be given to a young scholar whose name will be revealed during the General assembly.
The beginning of 2003 was
also used to plan future events and ISHPES engagements. In August 2004, for
instance, a seminar on the history of sports and games might take place in
cooperation with TAFISA, during the World Festival of Games in
A very successful première for ISHPES was the
Summer School for Ph.D. students and post doctorates, organized in June in
Finally, I invite you to the
ISHPES General Assembly, which will
be held in Urbino on Saturday July, 12
from
I wish you a stimulating congress and an enjoyful summer time.

Liebe
Mitglieder,
Krieg, Epidemien: die letzten Monate waren von einem Klima bestimmt, das
nicht unbedingt förderlich ist, akademische Aktivitäten zu entwickeln. In
dieser schwierigen Zeit wurden zahlreiche Gespräche geführt, und enge
Verbin-dungen mit ICSSPE und ICHS sowie mit NASSH, SEAHPES, CESH und
verschiedenen nationalen sporthistorischen Organisationen aufrechterhalten.
Dennoch muss der Kongress in Urbino, der als einer der attraktivsten der
letzten Jahre schien, um die 40 Abmeldungen hinnehmen. Nichts desto trotz
scheint die Veranstaltung mit über 120 geplanten Referaten eine der viel
versprechendsten des akademischen Jahres und ein Ort intensiver
wissenschaftlicher Debatten zu werden. Zudem wird in Urbino Else Trangbaek mit
den ISHPES-Award ausgezeichnet und ein Nachwuchswis-senschaftler, dessen Namen
während der Hauptversammlung bekannt gegeben wird, mit dem Reinhard Sprenger-Award.
Anfang 2003 wurden zukünftige Veranstaltungen und Pläne für ISHPES
initiiert. So besteht die Möglichkeit im August 2004 in Kooperation mit
TAFISA während des World Festivals of Games in Montreal ein Seminar zur
Geschichte von Sport und Spielen durchzuführen. Die offizielle Entscheidung
wird den Vorstandsmitgliedern in Urbino über-lassen. Kurz nach Quebec wird
ISHPES nach Griechenland ziehen, wo uns angeboten wurde am Vorolympischen
Kongress in Thessaloniki in Form von Round Table-Veranstaltungen teilzuneh-men.
Eine Premiere im Rahmen der ISHPES Veranstaltungen war die erfolgreiche
Sommer-Schule für Dokto-randen, die im Juni in Kopenhagen durchgeführt wurde.
Dieses Bulletin beinhaltet einen ausführlichen Bericht über die Erfahrungen
dieser Veranstaltung, die auf jeden Fall in der Zukunft weiter geführt werden
sollte.

Summer school ”Sport and Gender”
(
The project of a summer
school for PhD students is not new. Leena Laine even presented some years ago
some considerations toward the ISHPES council members on the aims of such a
project and how it might be implemented. Nowadays, the project has become a
reality… and a success. The first summer school has been organised on the
topic “Sport and gender” in
Organisation
and topics
Gertrud
Pfister was the decisive pilot of this useful and nice project. She was helped
by Else Trangbaeck, Anne-Lykke Poulsen and other people of the
that are DIF
(Danish Sports Federation) and DGI (Danish Gymnastics and Sports
Associations).
Thanks to the advertisements diffused though various means and the joined
efforts of ISHPES and ISSA, 30 students applied and were accepted for the
Summer school. All of them were conducting a PhD or had recently defended
their PhD in different fields (history, sociology, psychosociology, gender
studies, pedagogy) yet in a gender perspective for most of them.
The summer school offered seven full days that included lectures, workshops,
panel discussions, individual supervisions and some social events to balance
the program. The week was relatively dense, but students and teachers could
attend the swimming pool of the institute... and ride a bike from the hotel to
the site of the seminar, as most did.
The teachers team was constituded by experts from the University of
Copenhagen (Getrud Pfister, Hans Bonde, Else Trangbaeck, Laila Ottesen, Martin
Munk, Soren Damkjaer) and by invited colleagues who are members of ISHPES or
ISSA: Kari Fasting (Oslo, Norway), Joe Maguire (Loughborough, UK), Jennifer
Hargreaves (London, UK), Leena Laine (Jÿvaskÿla, Finland) and Thierry Terret
(Lyon, France). Due to the limited available budget, this team could
unfortunetly not include more experts, especially those from North America.
The variey of teaching process was greatly appreciate by the students. A serial of lectures were given on complementary topics: First, Kari Fasting presented her view on the feminist methodologies and the different perspectives used in sport and women studies. Hans Bonde took the male perspective to develop a critic of the exclusive negative approaches of masculinity. Joe Maguire addressed an overview on the relationships between gender and globalization. Else Trangbæk and Laila Ottesen took a case study in highlighting the Danish situation both historically and sociologically. Jennifer Hargreaves explored some methodological issues in gender research, using here her book on the heroines of sport as a pretext. Søren Damkjær joined the questions of gender and the sociology of the body together in a multidisciplinary presentation. Thierry Terret presented an overview on the methods and sources used in the researches on sport and masculinity. Finally, Leena Laine analysed how the life stories can constitute a precious tool in gender studies.
In addition to these lectures, shorter presentations were made in workshops for smaller groups of students: Gertrud Pfister was interested in developing the constructivist approaches of authors Lorber and Connell, Martin Munk focussed on the Bourdieu’s approach to sport and gender and Kari Fasting explored the question of harassment sport.
Two panels were also organised, but what the students really enjoyed and appreciate (according to their evaluation) was the possibility given to them to have individual supervisions with some of the experts, in order to discuss more deeply their topic, problems and methods. Most of the students were able to have two or three of such appointments during the three half-days which were dedicated to this goal.
After an exhausting week, the teachers/organisors team realized how much everyone had been involved all days long in successive tasks going from lecture to personal supervision, and was even surprised to see how all this had been made possible. Indeed, it is not a scoop to remain that the life of a scholar is certainly busy. What were we doing here and how could we organize ourselves to be available? How could it be even conceivable that a ten of people, in addition to the local organizers, gave so much time and energy without asking for anything in exchange? Certainly, the fact that the initial demand came from Gertrud made a lot in the engagement of the experts. However, I also guess that most of them still believe in certain values regarding student teaching and are in a way idealist enough to accept such a demanding challenge. All students realised what this effort represents and they really appreciated it. Finally, all of them were given a free ISHPES and ISSA membership for 2003.

Some examples
More precisely,
here are some examples of the researches conducted by the students in history,
as I asked them to send me a summary of their project :
Marianne Ullmann, Hans SPITZY – Life and work in special consideration of his contribution to the development of physical education in Austria and his role as a `pioneer´ of rehabilitation”
The thesis presented on the occasion of the summer school 2003 is a biographic work about an Austrian orthopaedist, Hans SPITZY (1872-1956), who was a University teacher in orthopaedic surgery and also a member of the PE teacher education staff in Wien and Graz. He wrote a book about physical education of children (“The physical education of the child”, 1914) which became well-known in Austria (and in other countries).
SPITZY is also known as the “father of rehabilitation” in Austria, because he founded an orthopaedic hospital with schools for war-disabled people in Vienna at the beginning of World War I. In this schools he trained the war-disabled – who often had lost arms and / or legs – to regain their working capacity by means of rehabilitation methods. SPITZY was a creative man who invented some operation methods as well as orthopaedical substitutes. He operated on Mathias SINDELAR, who was a famous soccer player of Austrias “Wunder Team”, when SINDELAR had his knee injured.
The research work concentrated on three main subjects, namely SPITZY´s contribution to Physical Education, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine. Some of the results will be mentioned in the following:
Achievements in the area of physical education
SPITZY was a supporter of the reforms concerning physical education before and after World War I. The integration of the many “systems“ existing at that time (e. g. Swedish Gymnastics, Deutsches Turnen, sports) in an orthopaedically extended (“veredeltes“) physical education was one of SPITZY´s perspectives. He also claimed for the daily PE lesson in school, for a free afternoon for playing games every week and for the improvement of the PE teacher training. He was part of the first reform movements of the teacher training before World War I.
SPITZY actually influenced the work of GAULHOFER and STREICHER, which could be proved by the analysis of their work “Natürliches Turnen“. GAULHOFER and STREICHER relied on SPITZY´s opinions as far as the orthopaedic aspect of physical education was concerned.
SPITZY was a member of PE teacher training until 1939 when the “Institute of Physical Education“ became the “Hochschulinstitut für Leibesübungen“ under the Nazis.
The role of SPITZY in the national-socialistic aera could not be cleared within the framework of the thesis.
Achievements in the area of orthopaedical surgery
and rehabilitation
SPITZY had a leading position in the field of orthopaedic surgery at his time and was a member of the German Association of Orthopaedic Surgery. In 1913 he even was the chairman of the association. One of the operation methods SPITZY invented was the “SPITZY shelf operation for the dysplastic hip“. His method is not in use anymore today. Nevertheless it was the object of a study published in Japan in 1992. As mentioned at the beginning, SPITZY built up a hospital and schools for war-disabled persons. It could be shown that SPITZY can´t be called the „spiritual father of rehabilitation“ - a claim which was made in an article about his work - as Konrad BIESALSKI, a German orthopaede, was the first who demanded institutions for the purpose of the resocialisation of the disabled at the turn of the century. Nevertheless it can be claimed that SPITZY prepared the way for the rehabilitation in Austria.
SPITZY and Sports Medicine
SPITZY was not a doctor of sports medicine in a past sense as he did not exclusively support the competitive aspect of sports. He rather declared himself in favour of sports because of its health preventive and therapeutic aspects. In addition SPITZY was not mentioned on a list including all German and Austrian doctors of sports medicine which was published by MALLWITZ in 1927.
Sandrine Jamain, France,“Women and sportswear, from the end of the 19th century to the
1960’s”: Iconographic analysis of the press
History
provides us with countless examples that show how difficult it has been for
women, especially sportswomen, to go against tradition in their way of
dressing. Why? What do sportswomen look like then? This
framework of research, devoted to French sportswomen, focuses on the history
of the women’s sportswear from the end of the 19th century to the
1960s. Fortunate witness of the complex relationships between women and sport,
women’s sportswear raise fundamental questions on gender and sport, and
bring us to the history of the female body, clothing and women’s
sport.
At the end of the 19th century, the main tasks of French women came down to be a mother and a wife. As a consequence, the female body is considered both as a functional body, essential component for pregnancy, and a desirable body. And this dualist way of seeing body still exists at the dawn of the Sixties. It can be seen as highly revealing of relations between men and women within the society.
In the same way, through the period, clothing tends to emphasize sexual differentiation and reinforce the superiority of the man, the husband. On the one hand, the man, the householder, wears trousers, symbol of power, domination; on the other, the dress, weapon of seduction, which appeals to the imagination and arouses desire by suggesting forms without really showing them, constitutes the main part of the wardrobe of the “frail” woman. Even if this is particularly striking until the beginning of the century, clothing habits of French people haven’t really evolved until the 1950s.
Female participation in sport
developed in this context. Sportswomen became subjected to constant
supervision, because they seem to be doubly in conflict with the masculine
desire. Indeed, not only women invade a sphere that is still largely
restricted to men, but they also assert, in this way, their rights to have the
use of their own body. But this conquest of look and movements goes through
occasional clashes. Sportswear looks more and more mannish. Does it mean that
female athlete is a not woman anymore? Are the requirements of beauty, of
desirability compatible with the performance? Does the search for sporting
excellence imply a negation of femininity in clothes?
The object of this research is whether sportswear is involved in the preservation of sexual identities, or, on the contrary, it is the origin of new identities.
We want to show, through a material too often ignored by the historians, the image, that sportswear will gradually grow away from the eternal feminine, so as to give greater importance to comfort and ease, necessary to the production of performance. Thus, we suggest that sportswear offer women opportunities to affirm themselves and express their resistance more than they tend to reproduce the traditional scheme. Women’s sportswear is certainly the origin of new identities: a kind of “sporting neutral”.
Our corpus is mainly made up
of photos, taken from sport and women press, and which depict sportswomen
before, during or after a sporting event. The semiological works of R. Barthes
guide our iconographic analysis. It consists in deciphering all the meanings,
explicit or latent, which “conceal” behind photo-graphy. In our study,
just the iconic and the linguistic message are taken into account.
In
light of 88 photos, three period emerge. The first one consecrates above all
the Woman. The traditional woman’s dress rules supreme over female wardrobe
during almost the first two decades of the 20th century: it is the
time of the long dress (or long skirt). Followers of tennis, hockey, winter
sports, or fencing, the clothing of these women highlights the belonging to
the middle-class. Clothing is here a means of social and sexual recognition.
Opened in the low of clothing as if to not forget the weakness of women;
tightened in the top part of the body as if to mean the straight-laced
society, as if to show them their duty of reserve and submission to the
standards of female beauty. Certain sportswomen, like mountaineers, depart
from this rule, from these “Ladies”, but they are an exception. It is only
at the end of the war that people can see truly a change of the clothing
habits of sportswomen: clothing is going to be sporting, in the image of the
first women’s football players.
Indeed, at the close of the First World War, the long skirt (or dress) does not seem topicality anymore. A new model of sportswomen is born. Arms and legs are discovered. It is the advent of the short skirt, a skirt that lets see from now on the legs of the women until the knees. In 1920, the sport newspapers consider this suit as the "female costume of sport". However, on the fringe of this "female" model, which one meets in particular on the basketball or hockey fields, on tennis courts, emerges a "male" clothing (can one say at the time), a sportswear: shorts and shirt that will be successful throughout this period. It is the case for athletes, football players, some basketball players, or racing cyclists. Thus, until the Second World War, two kind of sportswear develop in the same time: the first one, which preserves the traditional femininity. It is a way of reassuring themselves, of clarifying the gender borders after the “invasion” of women in sport. On the opposite, the short neglects the aesthetic side of clothes: the body is “stripped”, less to emphasize the body than to make it functional. So, the Between-two-Wars is marked both by a kind of break with the past and a kind of nostalgia for the past: clothing became sporting, suited to the new movements of sportswomen, but in the same time, some sportswear keep underscoring the femininity (even if it is a short), above all in the 1930s.
The last period sees being profiled a new conception of sportswear. Nevertheless, just after the Second World War, the old values attached to femininity re-appear. The war awakes the old demons, which watched for the sporting women. Thus, the sportswomen, wearing shorts and shirt are erased to leave place with the “pin-up” or the “Mother”. The break is truly palpable only at the end of the Fifties. Fitting in a more general context of evolution of mentalities, supported by the development of new textiles, sportswear looses progressively itself from the aesthetic side, so as to give greater importance to rationality and thus to the performance. It tends then towards “sporting neutral”. The case of Marielle Goitschel, competing in a race, is a striking example: all the signs external of the belonging to the gender disappeared. However, certain activities, like tennis, tend to maintain a certain “image” of the woman, to highlight the beauty, the female charm in an increasingly short skirt. But, although these activities (tennis, hockey for example) tend to reproduce the stereotypes of the woman, for the majority of sportswear, their aim is not to discriminate sexes anymore, but simply to facilitate sporting practice. Far from highlighting a female or male character, sportswear aims to highlight sporting woman and her performances. That’s why we can say that it is the origin of new identities, of sporting neutral: neither masculine, neither feminine.
Final thoughts
At the end of the week, an evaluation was conducted on various items. The result is clearly positive, as demonstrated by the following selection of the opinions expressed anonymously by the students. To the question “Shall we organise another summer school?, they answered: “Yes!”; “Yes!!!”; “Yes, yes, yes…”; “Yes, I think it’s a good opportunity to meet people from other countries, to get a wider view”; “Definitely! I think that it is an extremely important and enjoyable opportunity. Thank you”; “Yes!”; “Yes, I am so interested in this topic. I think that in this school, I learnt a lot and it has been good for my project”; “Yes, please”; “Of course. It was a pleasure to be helped for our research, and in the future the summer school will help others PhD, I am sure”; “Yes!!”; “Yes please, I’d like to come here again”; “Yes definitely”; “Yes, please do!! This was helpful, thank you!”; “I’ve been very happy here. I’ve learnt and found so nice people! Really positive and constructive experience. Thank you!!”
Regarding the topic itself : “It has been very good, but mostly briefly. I’d liked to have deeper knowledge in some areas. Maybe the experts could have had a little bit longer time for lectures”. Regarding the individual supervisions: “Experts were very kind and interested and willingly talk to us. Very good that the experts stayed for several days”; “Very useful to get the chance to discuss issues with people from a variety of countries. Enhanced my understanding of many issues”; “Very beneficial, very personal” ”I was very happy to have a chance to get this much individual supervision! Thank you!”
Looking at the workshops: “I found it very beneficial to talk about my work to people who are as enthusiastic as myself. Until now, I have had a limited opportunity to do this. I was given excellent advice and encouragement” ;”From my point of view, workshops wee creative and I believe that they gave a push to lots of works”.
And finally the organisation :”very very nice, open atmosphere, well organised: no complications, excellent and helpful”; ”You did a great job, helping us with every problem, in a very friendly way”; “We all have to thank all you firstly for taking an initiative of this kind and secondly to have organised so well the summer school”.
Let’s give the very last word to Jennifer Hargreaves (Brunel University London):
“I was immediately impressed with the efficient and scholarly way this week’s summer school was organised. It was packed with activities - lectures, workshops, individual tutorials, feedback sessions and evaluations - all focused on the interests and needs of the students. And social events, good food and wine and swimming were the icing on the cake! But it was also to do with human relationships - a friendly and productive rapport quickly developed between the ‘experts’ and the young researchers, and during the week friendships were struck up and flowered that I predict will be long-lasting ones. I was one of the ‘experts’, but I was delighted and felt privileged to be in the company of 30 young scholars from 17 countries across the world who cohered as a group and were without exception intelligent, highly motivated, lively, and full of energy and humour, soaking up new knowledge and helping each other to produce viable and creative research ideas. These young people will stay in my memory and I look forward to seeing their names in print over the next few years knowing that I played a small part in helping them with their studies and visions for the future.”
Thank
you for all those who made this 2003 edition possible. Now the question
has indubitably become: when, where and on which topic will we organize the
next Summer School ? This is something
that will be discussed in Urbino, but I feel already very optimist about the
future.

ICSSPE Round Table of Ministers of Physical Education and Sport
(Paris, January 9-10, 2003)
The first Round Table of
Ministers of Physical Education and Sport took place at the UNESCO
Headquarters in Paris on January 9-10, 2003. ICSSPE was represented by Prof.
Dr. Gudrun Doll-Tepper, ICSSPE President, Prof. Dr. Margaret Talbot, ICSSPE
Vice-President and IAPESGW, and Christophe Mailliet, ICSSPE Executive
Director. Additionally, Prof. Dr. Ron Feingold, AIESEP President, and Prof.
Dr. Manoel Tubino, FIEP President, were invited by UNESCO and also attended
the meeting. Other NGOs represented included FIMS and ICHPER.SD.
Position of the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education
1. Strengthening physical education and sport in the educational environment
The International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education was the initiator of the first comprehensive, world-wide audit on the state and status of physical education, and of the World Summit on Physical Education in Berlin, Nov. 3-5, 1999, which received patronage and support from UNESCO, the World Health Organisation and the IOC. We are very pleased that there is now an international consensus that this issue deserves serious consideration, in order to solve existing and future problems. We are encouraged by the very positive support given to progressing access to physical education and sport by all contributors to the discussion.
The World Summit on Physical Education offered an opportunity to discuss physical education from different scientific angles. Tropics of keynote addresses included:
State and status of physical education in global context
The case for physical education
Good practice in physical education
Nutritional needs for physical education
Physical education and physical development
Social, community development through physical education
Physical education, health and well-being
Physical education: economic considerations
Additionally, workshops were conducted on varied themes including:
Physical Education in National Development and Reconstruction
Inclusion and Integration
Working towards a balanced curriculum
Physical education, schools and community
Important findings from the international comparative survey brought up recurrent issues in many parts of the world, such as:
Decreasing curriculum time allocation
Budgetary constraints with inadequate financial, material and personnel resources
Low subject status and esteem
Marginalisation and under-valuation by authorities
In the physical education profession and in academia, there is now a consensus that the issue of physical education deserves serious consideration in all nations world-wide. Data from all regions of the world show a steady increase in health problems linked to the lack of physical activity. At the same time, recent studies show that physically active students tend to perform better in academic subjects. “Quality” is the key to successful future developments, especially with regard to:
Physical education programmes in the schools
Co-operation between schools, community and clubs
Professional training in universities and in-service training.
At the end of the World Summit on Physical Education, the participants adopted the “Berlin Agenda for Action for Government Ministers” which states :
”The World Summit on Physical Education reinforces the
importance of Physical Education as a life-long process. It is particularly
important for every child as articulated in the International Convention on
the Rights of the Child. All children have a right to:
(1)
the highest level of health,
(2)
free compulsory primary education for both cognitive and physical
development,
(3)
rest and leisure,
(4) play and recreation.“
ICSSPE urges Member states to take action to sustain a positive future for physical education and sport in schools and the wider community by placing emphasis on the quality of delivery of physical education and sport. This includes:
appropriate teacher training preparation,
regular required in-service teacher training,
development of physical education curricula which are relevant to individuals and 21st century life-style patterns,
improved education regarding issues related to the fight against doping,
inclusion policies for gender and disability-related issues to provide equal opportunities for boys and girls and young people with disabilities.
Such inclusion policies need to be translated into school, out-of-school and post-school community settings through facilitation of multi-sector partnership links. ICSSPE also urges all Member States to keep a watching brief on developments and monitor the implementation of policy promises into reality.
International research results provide a challenge to address the status and resources of physical education. Most governments are working hard to balance the overwhelming number of requests for their limited resources. However, when physical education is not incorporated as an integral part of education programs, the consequences can be long/lasting and manifold. The issue can be summarised by the following slogan: “Pay for physical education now. Or pay - much more - later for the damage done.”
Physical education can and does provide a large number of health, social, cognitive and economic benefits. Physical education can and does provide a return on investment in other areas of spending, most notably health.
Based on the evidence available, we ask Member States to effectively implement the Declaration of Punta del Este and the recommendations of MINEPS III. Governments and civil society, working together, can make a difference for our most precious resource – today’s children and youth. This is an international problem requiring international, national and local action.
2. Protection
of young athletes
The
International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education is pleased to
have the opportunity to make an intervention on the protection of young
athletes, from the point of view of practitioners in physical education, sport
and research.
As pointed out in the annotated agenda, young athletes and children
engaged in sport and physical activity are often exposed to risks and threats
which are a direct consequence of either unsuitable practices of sport, or of
inappropriate conditions and settings. Exploitation of children and youth in
sport can be diverse and manifold, leading to damage to their personal and/or
material well-being and the integrity of their personality, up to being
subject to criminal behaviour such as sexual and physical harassment and
abuse. Sadly, sport can be a
magnet for child abusers.
Sport cannot have separate status with regard to commonly accepted
standards for the ethical treatment of, and care for children and youth.
Children and youth have a right to play, rest, and education, as stated in the
International Convention for the Rights of Children. The world of sport must
make sure that children and youth are treated with due care and respect,
through the development of models of good practice. Effective and professional
preparation of teachers and coaches is one of the keys to achieve this, and it
is essential that all the people concerned with the sport experience of young
people share the same values of respect for both sport and the dignity of the
young people they serve.
Governments must make sure that the provisions pertaining to the rights of
children and youth are respected in their countries, and that existing
regulations against child abuse and child labour are applied as well. When
such regulations are missing, Member states should adopt such legislative
texts as soon as possible. It is necessary to end the exploitation of children
and young athletes for doubtful purposes, whether commercial or political.
It is noteworthy that in many cases, it has been the educational community
and academic researchers, who have shown the commitment and courage to raise
awareness of this issue, especially sexual harassment and abuse.
Where sports organisations have worked positively with these
researchers to address the problem, especially when they have been supported
by governments, there have been very positive results.
Sports organisations should recognise their own responsibilities for
developing good practice in child protection and preparing children and young
people to make informed decisions in sport.
To ensure healthy children and young people, we have to ensure healthy
sport.

Centre de Mémoire du Sport (CEME, Brésil)
Le Centre de Mémoire du Sport (CEME) a été créé en décembre
1996, dans l’École d’Éducation Physique d’une des universités
publiques des plus importantes du Brésil: l’Université Fédérale du Rio
Grande do Sul.
Ce Centre n’a aucune finalité lucrative et il travaille à la
reconstruction, à la préservation et à la divulgation de la mémoire du
Sport, de l’Éducation Physique, des loisirs et de la danse aussi bien au Brésil
que dans le monde.
Ses
principaux objectifs consistent à :
- acquérir, au moyen de dations, des collections historiques se référant
au Sport, à l’Education Physique, aux loisirs et à la danse; accroître la
production scientifique dans le domaine de la recherche historique;
réaliser
des expositions thématiques;
- faciliter pour les intéressés des informations concernant la mémoire du
sport national et international; produire du matériel didactique tel que:
livres, vidéos et CD-ROM, à partir de recherches réalisées parmi ses
diverses collections ; offrir des workshops aux clubs, aux centres
communautaires, aux associations sportives et aux personnes intéressées en général ;
établir des associations avec les écoles, les universités, les clubs, les fédérations
sportives et les institutions désireuses de préserver la mémoire du sport,
des loisirs, de l’Éducation Physique et de la danse en établissant un réseau
de communications.
Sa bibliothèque rassemble des collections très variées. Elle offre
approximativement 6 500 livres nationaux et internationaux, publiés avant
1960 ; 80 collections de périodiques sur le sport aussi bien nationaux
qu’internationaux. Et également des films, des cassettes, des
photographies, des documents ainsi qu’un nombre important de fanions, de médailles,
de trophées, d’équipements et d’uniformes sportifs.
Le travail développé par l’équipe du CEME part de la supposition
qu’un centre de mémoire ou même un musée sportif n’est pas à peine un
espace où l’on rencontre des images, des idées, des objets ou des mots du
passé. Il s’y trouvent encore des expériences vivantes qui nous aident à
comprendre le présent, non seulement pour justifier, mais encore, pour
chercher diverses réponses possibles aux diverses questions que nous pouvons
hasarder aujourd’hui.
Il faut
comprendre avant tout que la mémoire ne doit pas nous emprisonner dans le
passé et si, nous amener à interroger le présent pour mieux le comprendre.

Finish Society of Sport History
In
the year 2002 the Finnish Society for Sport History celebrated its 10th
year of activity. The program for the year was composed of public lectures and
seminars. In co-operation with the Goethe-Institute (the German culture center
in Helsinki) two quest lectures were invited: Dr Kristina Exner-Carl from
Germany, and Professor Gertrud Pfister (Denmark). Exner-Carl’s presentation
was on the political issues round Olympic Games in Helsinki in 1952. Professor
Pfister’s theme was the growing sports markets in the light of "case
Kournikova". The already traditional two-days’ seminar for "grass
root historians" in sport was this time directed and occupied by
students. The Celebration year ended by an open seminar organized in
co-operation with the History
institute of Jyväskylä University, on theme "Civil society,
voluntary activity and sports movement". The key- note lectures where
given by historians specialized on nation and popular movements. During the
two days’ seminar also some ten presentations on the history of sport were
presented. Professor Antero Heikkinen gave the speech in honour of the
occasion, where he evaluated stages of research and teaching in the history of
sport in Finland.
The new yearbook (2003)
The new yearbook of the Finnish Society for Sport History is published. The book, edited by Esa Sironen and Heikki Roiko-Jokela has a title: "Kivinyrkkejä ja mäkimatteja" [Stone fists and hill jumpers], and is larger than ever, consisting of 14 articles (with English summaries) and a rich section on book reviews, reports and discussion.
The first part of the book includes presentations from the history
seminar mentioned above, starting with two contributions into history of
Finnish sport history. Antero Heikkinen examines a period of more than a
century in which research and teaching in the history of sport gained a firm
hold in Finland. >From the 1880s to the 1970s teaching was concentrated at
the Gymnastic Institute at Helsinki University. The second period began in the
late 1970s when the Finnish Society for Research in Sport and Physical
Education established a history of sport project, financed by the Ministry of
Education. This project worked between 1976-92 during which period the
research and teaching in the history of sport began to achieve a solid
foundation. Diversification and growth in the discipline characterize the
third period, since the early 1990s.
The Finnish Society for Sport History in was established in 1992 to continue the work of the research project, writes Leena Laine in her overview on the ten years history of the society. - The Nordic countries provided the model. Since 1994 the Society has published a yearbook which is a common forum for researchers and amateurs in sport history. Other activities include lectures, seminars and courses in sport history for "amateurs", usually featured in co-operation with history departments of different universities. The Society awards yearly the distinction called "the feat in sport history", intended specifically for amateurs.
Aino
Sarje in her article "The Many Forms of Finnish Women’s Gymnastic
Performance"examines the publicity of the Finnish women’s gymnastics in
the gymnastic performances like field programs, gymnastic shows and
competitions. The aim is to show how to typify the representative
performances. The article presents one approach of the research project on the
history of Finnish women’s gymnastics.
Kati Hara-Fabrin’s presentation "It did not look ugly at all"
– Ninety Years since Finland Got Its First Female National Champions in
Athletics deals with the first phase of women’s athletics in SVUL (Finnish
Gymnastics and Sports Association) in 1907–1923. In an atmosphere, which
highlighted health and briskness, women’s athletics was accepted. As the
running women seemed beautiful and smooth, running was regarded as suitable
sports for them.
Antti Arponen presents an interesting local competition tradition in
East-south Finland (Kymenlaakso). Between 1940s and 1990s the local sporting
clubs competed yearly in relay of 25 x 1000 meters. Even the smallest villages
could ally 25 runners to the track. Alongside with runners, skiers, orienteers
and ball-players competed. Within time of specialization development in sport
it became harder and harder to gather the teams. The fiftieth and last relay
was run in 1997.
To
other Finnish local special cases belong stories of a boxer (by Terho Paltamo)
and of two Finnish Hill-jumpers. The life of boxer Henry Siljander
encapsulates the working class Helsinki, voluntary participation in the Second
World War, the rise from poverty to petty-bourgeois entrepreneur and, finally,
success as Olympic medallists in boxing. There are in Siljander’s life such
elements that feed Hollywood hit movies like Fierce Bull and Rocky I.
The story "The Hill-Jumpers Feast and Work"(Martti Silvennoinen) tells about two hill-jumpers, Matti Pietikäinen (1927–1967) and Matti Nykänen (1963–). The former won the world championships in Falun, Sweden, in 1954, and the latter Matti is one of the most successful hill-jumpers in the world. The text approaches hill jumping from the standpoint of micro history of corporality and mentality, and discusses forms of masculinity.
Other presentations on Finland include Jyrki Talonen’s article The
Merging of Karate into the Culture of Physical Training in Finland and Jouko
Kokkonen´s presentation "Rivaling Nations". The latter forms an
introduction to the writer’s dissertation plan, where he critically analyses
the emphasized relationship between nation and sport. Question is, e.g. if the
relationship between nationalism and sports is in Finland exceptionally strong
and unique, compared with other nations.
With international developments deal articles on the formation of sports
organizations in Estonia in the 1920s (Jarkko Kemppi), on the civil rights and
the status of African American athlete in the 1940s (Mikko Hyvärinen), or an
analyze on professional careers in the NHL (national hockey league) from the
1960s to1990s ( by Jani Mesikämmen & Timo Metsä-Tokila).
Gertrud Pfister’s article "Selling bodies, Anna Kournikova and the
Development of Sports" (in a Finnish translation) discusses on the
connections between the developments of sports, the public representation of
sports in the mass media and the role of women in sports and in the sports
coverage.
A compilation of the English summaries is available from Secretary Kenth Sjöblom (kenth.sjoblom@stadion.fi).

Annual Meeting of the Division
Sport History of the Deutsche Vereinigung für Sportgeschichte in Maulbronn,
Germany (May 15-17, 2003)
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the “Institut für
Sportgeschichte Baden-Württemberg e.V.” the annual meeting of the German
sport historians took place in the southern German city of Maulbronn, famous
for its “Zisterzienserkloster” and honoured by the UNESCO as a world
heritage.
One year before the Olympic Games in Athens, this conference focused on Olympic topics. Some of the papers took an historical approach, while others discussed various, mainly structural, problems regarding the Olympic Games and the IOC.
A highlight of the event certainly was the round table discussion
“Olympische Spiele in Deutschland – Was bringt die Zukunft?” In April of
2003 the German National Olympic Committee had chosen Leipzig as the German
candidate for the 2012 Games. The other cities
proposed were Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, and Stuttgart. A discussion was
organized in Maulbronn with representatives of the organizing committees of
all these cities. However, only the winner, Leipzig, and representatives of
Stuttgart and Düsseldorf, hat were defeated by a large margin were present.
Additionally Karl Lennartz (Köln) was invited as the
Olympic specialist. Joachim Teichler (Potsdam) led the discussion, during
which the losing cities were able not only to express their disappointment in
their poor results and analyse the weak spots in their candidacies, but also
to criticize the NOC for its treatment of applications. Finally the losing
cities offered their help to the organizing committee in Leipzig in the
further process of application, which now will be evaluated by the IOC. A
preselection will take place in 2004 and the final decision made in 2005;
among the other cities competing are New York, London and Paris. Whether
Leipzig will have a chance against these “giants” that all have Olympic
experience remains to be seen; maybe
its provinciality will even be of advantage.
The audience, well informed and educated on Olympic topics, was very
keen to hear the answers to Lennartz´s provocative questions about, for
instance, a vision for the Games,
like the one Willi Daume had for the 1972 Games in Munich that were supposed
to be the “heitere Spiele der kurzen Wege“. However, Leipzig´s
representative, Ulrich Wolter, was neither willing to answer this question nor
was he prepared to face Lennartz´s questions and ideas on developing
transportable arenas and sport facilities, as well as a mobile Olympic village
and hotel rooms. Another of his proposals would introduce a doping tax to the
Olympic Games; the hosting city could, for instance, renounce ten percent of
its profit and use it for better doping controls.
The program of the last day was in honour of the host, the “Institut
für Sportgeschichte Baden-Württemberg”. This institute with its almost 100
members (half of them various institutions and organisations) tries to
document, collect and register all kinds of information regarding physical
activity, games and sports in Baden-Württemberg, which can be found in the
form of documents, protocols, Festschriften, yearbooks, chronicles,
newspaper clippings, statues, song books, diplomas and so on, as well photos
and film material. It offers sport historical work shops for sport clubs to
support them when they write their anniversary publications. The institute has
its own publication series with seven editions so far, edited by Michael Krüger.
In his keynote address, “Identitätsspiele – Sport als universelles
Kulturmuster”, the civilization historian Hermann Bausinger not only
addressed sport and games in Baden-Württemberg and their role in
strengthening the solidarity among local, regional or ethnical groups, but, in
addition, elaborated on how sport can serve as a tool for identification in a
national sense, and, more recently, in a commercial sense, with such
brands as Adidas, Coke or Telekom.

L’image de la femme sportive aux 19 et 20ème siècle,
Lausanne, Janvier 2003
Les 16 et 17 janvier 2003, une poignée de chercheurs internationaux étaient
réunis à Lausanne, sur l’invitation du Musée Olympique, pour débattre
sur « l’image de la femme sportive aux 19 et 20ème siècles ».
Ce débat, original et pluridisciplinaire, s’insérait plus largement dans
le cadre d’une exposition sur « La mise en scène du corps sportif »
dirigé par deux jeunes et dynamiques chercheurs de Lausanne : Gianni
Haver, docteur ès science politiques et maître-assistant à l’Institut
d’Histoire Economique et Sociale de l’Université de Lausanne et Laurent
Guido, doctorant et assistant à la section d’Histoire et Esthétique du Cinéma
de l’Université de Lausanne.
Parmi les quatre axes principaux de cette exposition, le thème du genre
trouva un écho particulier et donna naissance à ce colloque. L’essentiel
des présentations portèrent sur la femme sportive à travers l’image et
non, sur l’utilisation ou la mise en scène de l’image de la sportive,
comme pouvaient l’espérer les organisateurs. Les échanges furent cependant
d’une grande richesse, mettant en avant, notamment, les lacunes des
recherches historiques, surtout pour les historien(ne)s du sport, sur le plan
des sources iconographiques ou filmo-grahiques. Travaillant essentiellement
sur les discours, les historien(ne)s recueillent et analysent des mots, des
phrases, des textes afin de dégager des événements mais aussi les facteurs
explicatifs de ces évènements. L’image apparaît parfois en aval au détour
des archives ou en amont dans certaines productions scientifiques mais la
plupart du temps à des fins illustratives. Rares sont les analyses
historiques s’appuyant sur un corpus d’images comme si la perception
« naturelle » et/ou artistique des images ne laissait aucune place
à l’analyse scientifique. Et pourtant, grâce à la sémiologie, l’image,
définit comme signe analogique, c’est à dire, quelque chose qui représente
une partie du réel, constitue un matériau tout à fait important et inédit
dans la quête d’informations de l’historien(ne). L’équipe « bizontine »
(Vivier ; Vieille-Marchiset ; Piva ; Renaud) ouvrit le colloque
sur la femme sportive, en montrant
l’existence de quatre modèles de techniques sportives féminines :
celui de la mère, de la femme au foyer, de l’androgyne et celui du neutre
(ni homme, ni femme, modèle centré uniquement sur la performance). Figure du
neutre que Christian Vivier et François Loudcher perçoivent comme ayant
remplacé, un temps, celle de l’homme avant d’être, de nouveau, influencé
par une féminisation de certaines pratiques. Pourtant, d’hier à
aujourd’hui, les images des femmes
sportives nous confirment (si l’on en doutait encore) le poids des
prescriptions du genre sur les sportives. Il y a les sportives, comme les
footballeuses (X.Breuil, P.Dietschy), qui ont transgressé les normes du genre
féminin, déchaînant ainsi toutes les critiques et les marginalisations. Les
cartes postales érotiques des années folles, présentées par Thierry
Terret, sont d’ailleurs significatives de ces processus de marginalisations.
Les sportives, transgressant leur genre en s’adonnant à des pratiques
« masculines » sont ridiculisées, « chosifiées »
pour redevenir des objets érotiques.
D’autres sportives, comme Suzanne Lenglen (Laurent Veray) et les femmes
alpinistes (Cécile Ottogalli), ont su jongler avec des pratiques et des
attitudes, à la fois conformistes et anticonformistes. Elles ont joué, au
fil des années, un « double genre », alliant des pratiques de
transgression à d’autres en concession avec le genre féminin, afin d’éviter
les critiques. Toutes ont d’ailleurs, notamment sur le plan vestimentaire,
entretenu des relations complices avec la mode et les médias (Angela Teja)
afin de se conformer, mais aussi de faire évoluer les canons esthétiques de
chaque époque. Aujourd’hui encore, l’analyse de jeux de combat virtuel,
comme Tekken 3 (Mathieu Carnal) montre la persistance, voire le renforcement,
de la différenciation des genres. Les héroïnes intègrent ces jeux de
combat virtuel, mettant en avant une image de femme combattante, et même
violente. Mais, cette intégration se fait en respectant les normes de la différenciation
des sexes et des genres, sur le plan des tenues vestimentaires, des attitudes
gestuelles et du rapport à la sexualité. L’appartenance à des catégories
de genre, plus qu’à celle du sport, semble déterminante. La figure du
neutre trouve-t-elle ou trouvera-t-elle vraiment une place ? Sondant un
espace d’investigation nouveau, ce colloque nous ouvre de nouvelles
perspectives de recherche. Au delà de la publication à laquelle il donnera
lieu en septembre 2003: Laurent
Guido, Gianni Haver (dir.), Images de la femme sportive aux 19e et 20e siècles,
Genève, Georg, 2003 ; espérons que d’autres initiatives de ce
genre puissent de nouveau nous réunir…
C. Ottogalli.

The
Foundation of the Hellenic World organises an international conference
"Athletics, Society and Identity", which will take place in the
second half of May 2004 at Athens, Greece.
The
study of the social and cultural dimension of athletics in contemporary
and past societies is nowadays an established field of research within the
framework of the Humanities and the Social Sciences. At the same time,
athletic events become increasingly important in our modern and post-modern
societies and economies, while our attitudes towards sports reflect and
shape in their turn our social and cultural identities. Moreover, sports are
also subject to a historically defined way of seeing, which is embedded in
our changing ways of perception and evaluation.
The organization of the Summer Olympics 2004 in Athens is an excellent
opportunity to discuss these topics in a conference that will bring together
scholars from all over the world. The conference will approach its thematic
field through the analytical tools of History, Sociology, Social
Anthropology, International Studies, Leisure, Gender and Cultural Studies.
The issues that will be explored fall into the following categories:
- Sports and Education
- Sports and Media
- Sports and Nationalism
- Sports and Art
- Sports and Ethics
- Sports and Popular Culture
- Sports and the Polis
- Sports and Minorities
- Sports and International Politics
- Sports and Globalization
- Sports and Gender
- Sports, Body Culture and Sexuality

Centre
de Recherche et d’Innovation sur le Sport, 11ème carrefour
d’histoire du sport, Sport et genre, XIXe-XXe siècles,
Lyon, 28-30 octobre 2004
En 1994, le Centre de
Recherche et d’Innovation sur le Sport prenait l’initiative d’organiser
des journées internationales sur l’histoire du sport féminin. En
accueillant dix ans plus tard le 11ème carrefour d’histoire du
sport sur le thème des relations entre sport et genre, le CRIS souhaite à la
fois prendre acte de la transformation et de l’extension des regards sur la
question, faire le point sur les travaux en cours et impulser éventuellement
de nouvelles orientations historiographiques.
En dix ans, le chemin parcouru est en effet sensible. Là où il
s’agissait surtout de redonner aux femmes une visibilité dans une histoire
du sport qui les avait passablement négligées, voire d’aborder la question
des relations entre les sexes à travers la domination que les hommes ont
historiquement imposée aux femmes, les analyses tendent à investir désormais
de nouvelles voies. D’une part, l’histoire du sport féminin ne se limite
plus à celle de ses institutions ou à celle de ses discours, mais
s’enrichit d’une réflexion sur les pratiques, les valeurs et les représentations.
D’autre part, abandonnant momentanément « la femme », les
travaux actuels portent sur la construction sociale « des féminités »,
remettant en question à la fois l’unicité des modèles et leur
biocentrisme. Plus récemment encore, les historien/nes du sport ont commencé
à intégrer la question des masculinités dans leurs perspectives, bien que
beaucoup reste encore à faire en ce domaine : du modèle « hégémonique »
de masculinité jusqu’au sport gay, les pistes à investir sont ici
nombreuses. Des perspectives se dégagent également quant au rôle des
pratiques et du spectacle sportif dans la remise en cause des rapports
traditionnels entre les sexes. Dès lors, les relations de domination entre
hommes et femmes ne constituent plus le seul mode d’interprétation du
genre.
L’histoire
des femmes n’est plus seulement appréhendée comme celle de leur
marginalisation. Leurs luttes, leurs résistances, leurs conflits internes,
leur formes d’excellence deviennent objets de recherches, de même que
l’histoire des masculinités en sport ne se réduit pas à l’affirmation
des symboles de la virilité.
Le programme retenu pour ce 11ème carrefour porte sur
l’histoire des relations entre le sport et le genre et se veut le plus intégrateur
possible. Le sport doit être pris dans son sens le plus large comme
l’ensemble des pratiques d’exercices corporels incluant à la fois les
formes compétitives, les pratiques récréatives et le loisir, les jeux
traditionnels, la gymnastique, la danse et l’éducation physique. Le genre
devra être compris à la fois comme les formes d’expressions sociales de la
féminité et de la masculinité, et l’ensemble des signes, pratiques et
symboles qui dénotent une appartenance identitaire et fondent un type de
relation (pouvoir, hiérarchie…) entre les sexes ou au sein de chacun des
sexes. Les communications, qui pourront développer des études de cas comme
des approches plus générales, s’inscriront dans les axes suivants :
1. Genre,
corps et entretien de soi
2. Sport,
genre et institutions éducatives
3. Femmes,
conquête sportive et résistances
4. Pionnières,
championnes et excellence sportive
5. Les
symboles du genre : costume, techniques, attitudes
6. Sport
et masculinités
7. Genre,
sport, médias, art et littérature
8. Sport,
homosexualité, homosocialité et homophobie
9. Sport,
sexe et érotisme
10. Modèles
étrangers et comparaisons internationales

Massenpolitik im europäischen Arbeitersport, Münster/Hamburg/London,
LIT-Verlag, 2002, 270 pages.
L’Internationale
rouge sportive (IRS), fondée en 1921 à Moscou comme « organisation de
masse » de l’Inter-nationale communiste, avait des vocations à la
fois culturelles et politiques, reliées par leur inscription dans un projet révolutionnaire.
Dans quelles mesures l’IRS, dans le cadre de ses activités propagandistes,
a tenu compte de la diversité et des particularités du champ sportif et
notamment des pratiques sportives ouvrières ? Jusqu’à quel point ses
décisions et interventions étaient déterminées par les structures et mécanismes
du mouvement communiste international ?
A
partir de cette interrogation initiale qui porte sur le fonctionnement du
mouvement communiste international, ce livre, fruit d’une thèse de doctorat
soutenue
en 1998 à Berlin, répond à de nombreuses questions intéressant
aussi bien les historiens du communisme que les historiens du sport.
S’appuyant sur l’analyse d’un grand nombre de documents d’archives
(dont les archives du Comintern à Moscou), l’étude dégage tout d’abord
les particularités de la politique sportive communiste En démontrant le
dilemme structurel d’une organisation auxiliaire qui évolue d’un côté
dans un champ culturel et organisationnel ouvert à la libre adhésion des
ouvriers, de l’autre côté au sein d’un mouvement autoritaire et fermé,
elle donne également des explications pertinentes concernant la faible réussite
de la propagande communiste dans les systèmes capitalistes de l’Europe
occidentale.

Books on Ski History
The
first International Ski History Congress ever staged in the United States met
some two weeks before the opening of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Park
City, Utah. A total of forty-two
presenters gave their work in dual sessions.
Most of the papers are now in print and available in the 307 page
volume.
American
contributions numbered thirty-two, the rest came from abroad, and we were
fortunate to listen to speakers from Japan as well as from Europe.
There had been no limits put on the topics for the conference, and we
enjoyed wide-ranging discussions of local, national and international ski
history matters, of political and economic concerns, of media, print and film.
It all made for a most interesting four days.
‘Ski
Utah’—the public relations arm of the ski business in the state of
Utah—and the ski areas of Park City, Deer Valley and Alta showed us the best
of Wasatch Mountain skiing and our time with Stein Eriksen was one highlight
of the sporting-social mix. We had
a good tour of the Olympic facilities.
A number of the contributions peak to the problems of saving skiing’s
heritage. The conference was, in
part, sponsored by the major United States ski museums with a hope to instill
cooperation across the country. A
number of representatives from European museums attended the session specially
set aside to discuss museums, their problems and possible solutions.
International cooperation may emerge as one result.
At
the end of the conference Hannes Nothnagle from Mürzzuschlag, Austria invited
us all to the next ski history conference sponsored by the FIS in 2004, and
gerd Falkner will host a conference celebrating the 100th
anniversary of the German Ski Association in 2005.
The
papers printed here give an idea of the widespread and deep interest in ski
history. Their publication could
not have happened without the support of the International Ski History
Association. 2002 International
Ski History Congress: Selected Papers (Ed. E. John B. Allen) may be
ordered from the New England Ski Museum, cost $29.50 + postage. Email: staff@skimuseum.org.
And, while I am at it, my new volume with the Images of Sport series, New
Hampshire on Skis, 128 pages, mostly images, has just been published by

-3. M. Attali, Syndicalisme et professionnalisation des enseignants d’Education Physique entre 1945 et 1981, Thèse de doctorat, Université de Paris X - Nanterre, 255 + 305 pages, soutenue le 20 décembre 2002.
Dirigée par J. Defrance et F. Bocq, cette thèse vise à identifier les
orientations des syndicats des enseignants d’Education physique (EPS) à
travers des entretiens et, surtout, l’analyse de leurs publications depuis
la Libération de 1945 jusqu’à la réintégration de l’EPS dans le ministère
de l’Education nationale. La thèse est articulé en trois parties
chronologiques dont les bornes (1945, 1957, 1969, 1981) apparaissent
pertinentes au regard de l’objet. Les relations entre les différents
syndicats et, au sein du principal d’entre eux -le SNEP- les relations entre
les différents courants, sont décrites et interprétées à la lumière des
grands enjeux identitaires qui traversent la profession : être reconnu
avec une égale dignité dans le corps des enseignants tout en préservant une
spécificité. Une telle approche s’avère fondée. Elle permet notamment à
l’impétrant de montrer les forces mises en œuvre pour transformer l’éducation
physique, résister aux gouvernements successifs, unifier et contrôler la
profession, marginaliser les opposants, ou encore utiliser le sport tout en
revendiquant sa différence avec les milieux sportifs. La démonstration est
par exemple faite de la manière dont le SNEP construit un discours qui forge
chez les enseignants le sentiment d’être délaissés et méconnus, tout en
diffusant une culture de la résistance. L’auteur relève aussi la pression
que les syndicats ont fait peser sur les enseignants pour pousser à la
syndicalisation, de même que les attitudes liberticides de certains de leurs
dirigeants. L’analyse n’occulte nullement la politisation des débats
internes du SNEP dans les années soixante et l’orientation qui l’amène
après le congrès de Nice à prendre en main non plus les revendications
corporatives, mais l’EPS elle-même dans une position tout à fait unique
dans l’histoire syndicale. La forte collusion entre les dirigeants « Unité
et Action » et l’idéologie marxiste est pointée, qui fait concevoir
le syndicat non seulement comme un outil au service de la corporation, mais
aussi comme un outil politique pour agir sur la société elle-même.
Certains aspects laissent toutefois un goût d’inachevé.
L’explicitation du point de vue défendu par l’impétrant demeure
notamment trop vague. L’analyse elle même, intéressante, repose aussi trop
sur une lecture interne de l’histoire syndicale et de l’EPS, qui ne tient
pas assez compte des transformations politiques et sociales dans lesquelles
elles s’inscrivent. Les stratégies syndicales sont celles de dirigeants –
dont on ne connaît finalement pas grand chose – mais la grande masse des
enseignants est oubliée dans la thèse, faisant même douter de la pertinence
du titre de la thèse. Enfin, sur le plan méthodologique, si l’analyse de
contenu menée sur un corpus de bulletins syndicaux n’amène pas de
commentaires particuliers, il est regrettable d’avoir limité les sources à
ce corpus et de les avoir surtout utiliser pour rendre compte des événements
(politiques, pédagogiques…) qui ne sont pas directement ceux de la vie ou
de l’action syndicale.
Le travail réalisé porte cependant sur un objet encore trop rarement abordé.
En effet, si de nombreux travaux ont traité de l’histoire de l’éducation
physique en France depuis une trentaine d’années, celle de son principal
syndicat n’avait pas encore été vraiment abordé. Prenant conscience de
cette lacune historio-graphique, plusieurs thèses ont été lancées sur ce
sujet très récemment. Celle de Mickaël Attali est la première à arriver
à terme. Menée avec sérieux et honnêteté, elle est documentée et apporte
incontestablement des éclairages sur de nombreux aspects mal connus.

Thesis
Mentor- Prof. Dr. Carmen Lúcia Soares
Initially based on the Etienne-Jules Marey's chronophotography, we went through the methodological research of this French physiologist about the analysis of the fragmentation of the movement, searching for a persistence of a supposed "visual educational program of the urban body" in the memory of visual representation in the late nineteenth century medical science and in the art of the beginning of sixteenth century.
The present research had as inspiration Marey's images - which were
result of Marey effort to capture, decompose and graphically summarize body
movement - and it aimed to relate this way of describing the body with
Leonardo da Vince' anatomical and pictorial studies. It was possible to
notice, in this set of images, a change in the representation and in the
visual study of the body (and soul): the body, mechanical and thermodynamic,
accurately harmonized with medium and prudent qualities, is a model of our
ways of imagine the reality and reproduce it. Involved in this study, we could
find Georges Demeny, Marey's assistant and founder of the "Rational
Gymnastics Method", the pedagogic-investigative project that systematized
the visual concepts that we study, creating a notable model of Physical
Education, which influenced the
current concept of body of work, nation and urbes.
Throughout this study, it
flashes the camera, an allegory of the city. This complex urban device is
understood, also, as a place of education of memory. The camera is a potential
image that help us to understand the pedagogic traces drawn by the urbes:
black box of tacit mechanisms, it preserves the memory, filters the light,
compresses the apertures, regulates the speed of the city. Finnaly, it
educates mechanically and poetically the bodies.

Mentor- Prof. Dr. Milton José de Almeida
This text is about different images
of the woman’s body. More specifically, it refers to the corporal and
sportive practices, as well as to the visibility of the feminine body in the
30th and 40th of this century. It discloses some political, economical and
cultural modifications in the Brazilian society at that period, which had the
consequence of making permissible the exhibition of the feminine body, while,
at the same time, promoting strategies for its hiding. It refers to three
specifics topics: beauty, motherhood and feminility. This
research intent to show the images of woman that was present in the
first magazine about Physical Education - “Revista Educação Physica” -
published between 1932-1945.

Francois Delsarte: Character of a (re) Discovery dance

master in education
unicamp-brazil
thesis mentor-prof. dr. carmen lúcia soares
François
Delsarte (1811-1871) is considered a legend in France, his home land, and also
in the dramatic art universe. Known as “the gesture theorical” Delsarte
has developed a major theory about human expression entitled “Applied
Esthetic”. Delsarte was a drama man, a music man. He also was a singer, a
speaker, a philosopher who gathered within his small studio in Paris, in the
middle 19th Century, great names in art, politics and religion. Men
who were interested in rhetoric and eloquence, arts which he developed and
showed with virtuosity. From a strict
methodology,
he observed man and his body through his various actions in daily life:
hospitals, parks, schools, streets, cafes. Completely focused in the
Scienticifism from the 19th Century, he created a number of laws
and principals that would order, rationally, the expression of the body, which
was imagined by Delsarte as a work of art, a divine creation. Delsarte
influences a whole generation of “body pedagogues”, in the United States
of America and in Europe in the late 19th century and early 20th
century. His theory was adopted, with high or low strictness, by numerous
fields of knowledge, such as the dramatic art, physical and moral education,
gymnastics and, finally, the dance, which granted visibility to his ideas
concerning the bodily expression. There is yet a lot to be known about the
dancing artisan of the body François Delsarte. A few tracks of his reveries
about the body are contained within this work.

Body and gymnastic in a Rio de Janeiro- mosaic of images and texts
Andrea Moreno(2001)
Tese de Doutorado
Faculdade de Educação
UNICAMP-Brazil
Thesis
Mentor- Prof. Dr. Carmen Lúcia Soares
This
study describes part of a possible history of physical education in Brazil,
more exactly, that which transpired in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
in Rio de Janeiro. I say "possible," based on Walter Benjamin's
conception of history. For him, narration about the past is always a version,
and never a truth. I write this history based on the bodily and sensorial
experience of men: what they smelled, what they ate, what they saw, what they
covered (or uncovered) their bodies with, how they moved. I tell of a time and
a place in a process of complexification. I therefore tell about a period of
changes. To understand these changes in their fullest breadth and depth, I
dealt with a number of forms of scientific and cultural production of the
period, including literature, the visual arts, academic production, and
others. In the process, I also sought to be attentive to details, to minutia,
to absences, and to what was written and spoken beyond the area controlled by
authority. Based on Benjamin, I tried not to ignore anything that may have
happened one day. I sought to study the past not only as "what has gone
by," as an essential determinant for the present, but, essentially, as
something "to be done," seeking inspiration not only in what was
said and done, but also in what was desired and repressed. This look at
history gave me
the
possibility of seeing not only the strong, virile, clean male body, but also
the marginal, weak or debilitate body, the silent body, that left nothing
written, but that is very present in novels, chronicles, newspapers and
pictures. This stroll through history led me to suspect the historiography of
this area in Brazil. Gymnastics were not hegemonic in 19th-century Rio de
Janeiro. They were present in the discourse of power and in academic theses,
but rarely had anything to do with the everyday life of men in what was then
the capital city of Brazil. This absence was accompanied by other presences:
sports and capoeira, activities that
meant much more to the soul of Rio de Janeiro's men. There is absence,
especially, of gymnastics seen as work, as an antidote to wasting time, whose
result is in the future (to be a strong and healthy man), without the right to
be a game, or playing, or even fighting. There is especially the presence of
practices that are full of ambivalence, reminding one of Bakhtin's study on
medieval carnival festivities, that approach the dialectics between laughter
and tears, the sacred and the profane, man and beast, the serious and the
grotesque. There is the presence of subliminal resistance on the plane of
bodily activities, through the negation of work, through laughter, through
celebrations, through the persistence of joy, the permanence of beats and
rhythms, dance and "other" forms, because they are based on another
ethic, of celebrating the body.

Sport et relations internationales
Relations
internationales, n°111,
Automne 2002 et n°112, hiver 2002, spécial « Olympisme et relations
internationales ».
Les actes du colloque « Olympisme et relations internationales »,
tenu les 31 mai et 1er juin 2002 à Lausanne, ont été récemment
publiés sous la forme de deux numéros spéciaux de la revue Relations
internationales. Si toutes les com-munications ne reposaient pas sur des
perspectives historiques, l’histoire a bien constitué une approche centrale
dont les actes rendent largement compte. Bien que la littérature nord-américaine
et allemande sur la question soit largement occultée par les différents
auteurs rassemblés ici, les articles présentés sont de qualité et
apportent incontestablement une pierre à la connaissance du rôle tenu par le
comité international olympique et, plus généralement, par l’olympisme
dans le contexte des grandes rivalités inter-nationales. Après une
introduction un peu générale de Pierre Milza et une présentation des
archives du Centre d’Etudes Olympiques par Cristina Bianchi, Patrick
Clastres fournit une stimulante analyse du Congrès de Paris de juin 1894
ayant abouti à la rénovation des Jeux olympiques modernes. Les
contradictions qui opposent Pierre de Coubertin à la diplomatie grecque
illustrent y sont notamment analysées de manière convaincante comme la
rencontre entre des projets différents au cœur desquels se trouvent les
questions du nationalisme et du pacifisme. Pierre Arnaud développe à la
suite quelques éléments relatifs au sport et aux relations internationales
im-médiatement après la première guerre mondiale en montrant comment le
mythe d’un sport pur est désormais impossible en ce qu’il doit nécessairement
compter avec les nationalismes. De manière tout à fait inédite, l’article
de Christian Favre explore la position de la Suisse face aux Jeux de Berlin,
un thème qui, à ma connaissance, n’avait jamais été abordé
jusqu’alors. L’étude, très bien documentée, révèle ainsi les tensions
intérieures qui opposent les socialistes aux conservateurs face à l’hypothèse
d’une participation helvétique aux Jeux nazis.
Dans le second volume des actes, quatre articles envisagent le thème des
relations internationales d’un point de vue historique. Fabrice Auger
analyse d’abord l’action du CIO au regard des rivalités franco-allemandes
entre 1918 et 1928. Son approche minutieuse cerne la manière dont la
diplomatie olympique s’exerce et parvient même à tirer profit des conflits
politiques pour mieux asseoir sa propre légitimité. Marianne Amar étudie
alors le cas des pouvoirs publics français entre 1948 et 1952 à un moment où
la diplomatie française est paradoxalement affaiblie et où les instances
olympiques du pays refusent de se soumettre à ses ordres. Enfin deux
olympiades (Helsinki 1952 et Moscou 1980) sont respectivement traitées par
Nicholas Niggli et Gygax. Le premier, évaluant la politique étrangère soviétique,
estime que des signes avant-coureurs de la détente sont déjà visibles à
Helsinki ; le second, dans un article notamment appuyé sur des archives
soviétiques, remet en question les arguments traditionnels du boycott des
Jeux de Moscou par les Américains en démontrant que l’intervention en
Afghanistan aurait pu servir d’autres fins.
Plus généralement, ce recueil d’articles situe l’olympisme, dans ses
différents niveaux, au cœur des relations internationales, confirmant en
cela tout l’intérêt de porter sur l’histoire du sport le regard de
l’histoire politique renouvelée.

Debates
and ideas
French Sport historiography: Some comments
Some time ago, some considerations were exchanged on Sport List regarding whether or not the French historians do care about the 100 Anniversary of the Tour de France (1903-2003) and more generally, if there was really a sport history in France. I did not take part in these discussions, yet I did not think that they were documented enough to judge anything. It might be on interest, however, to give some information about the French historiography, looking at two examples.
The 100 Anniversary of the Tour de France has been the occasion of many
books and papers in the country. Among the most academic works, let me just
mention the national exhibition which is currently taking place in the
national museum of cycling in Chatellerault (still for a couple of months),
the special issue of the Revue Européenne Histoire Sociale and, finally, an
extremely valuable collective book of more than 600 pages
intitled
Maillot jaune : regards croisés sur le Centenaire du Tour de France
(edited by Porte P., Biarritz: Atlantica, 2003) where many of the French
experts of this question have contributed.
Sport history in France has extended widely during the last two decades. Some editors even decided to create special collections, like Franck Cass did for instance in the UK. The most productive one is indubitably the collection “Espaces et Temps du Sport”, which was created by Pierre Arnaud in 1994 for the editions L’Harmattan - Paris (the First French editor in terms of number of titles per year). For those who can read French, this serial constitutes a unique way to understand the most recent works done in France on the history of sport. Most of the PhD defended on this topic in the last 10 years were for instance published within this collection, which have more than 60 titles up to now, as showed in the following list.

Sport Archive Network Proposal
By Kenth Sjöblom, Researcher, Sports Archives of Finland (From a memo originally written in August 2002 and published in ASI Newsletter, April 2003)
Introduction
The Workshop on Sport and
Archives that was held prior to the IASI Congress in Lausanne, in April 2001,
showed very clearly that there is a broad interest among sports information
specialists and sports librarians to know more about archival matters and
archival institutions. Information professionals can certainly agree with
Cristina Bianchi, IOC Records and Archives Manager, when she pointed out that,
“Although we all work with information, our tools and goals are different
and we have a tendency to create our own nucleus, forgetting to look at what
our neighbors do.”
The exchange of information between specialists in sports information
and records management should be one of the central tasks of a network on
sports archives, an idea that was quite loosely/casually discussed during the
IASI Congress in Lausanne. This network could initially operate in connection
with or as a part of IASI; either as an Ad Hoc Working Group or a Network
similar to the one that already exist for the Centres for Olympic Studies.
Once the initial organization has been accomplished, it will be
important to extend an invitation to other important organisations including
the ICA (International Council on Archives), ISHPES (International Society for
the History of Physical Education and Sport), CESH (The European Committee for
Sport History) and NASSH (North American Society for Sport History). This
inter-organizational cooperation will connect other records management
professionals with sport history academics to elicit their point of view
concerning the documentation and accessibility to sport archives.
The headquarters for such a network could be in many
locations for there is great expertise at key centres in Europe and elsewhere.
Aims and Objectives of the Sport Archives Network
- to increase the exchange of information between sports information centres, sports archives, sports libraries, sports museums and similar institutions regarding collections of documents, finding aids, registers etc.
- to create a directory of sports archives worldwide
(e.g. the Directory produced by
the Centre for Olympic Studies in Barcelona or the IASI World Directory, http://www.directory-iasi.org/
)
- to initiate discussions on archival matters (acquisition, appraisal, registration, access, publicity etc.) among sports archivists, information specialists and sports historians, regarding questions on what kind or type of material or document is important for sports history research
Organizational Work to be Achieved
- investigate the present archival networks that offer information online (e.g. Canada, United States, Australia)
- discuss the methods for exchanging information within the IASI structure and perhaps form an ahWG at the forthcoming annual meeting in Lisbon
- arrange further workshops/meetings during IASI meetings or Congresses
(it is good to see that the IASI Congress in Beijing has one theme “Sports Archives and Digitisation – where sports archivists can present papers and could hold a meeting on this issue)
- start planning for the Directory of Sports Archives; guidelines would be drawn by a smaller working group and presented for discussion and comments on the IASI-list
- arrange special sessions on archival matters at sports history congresses; in co-operation between the network and ISHPES, CESH or NASSH
- publish papers/reports on archival issues in the Bulletins of IASI, ISHPES and CESH
