Download or read book The Idea of Sport in Western Culture from Antiquity to the Contemporary Era written by Saverio Battente and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In “The Idea of Sport in Western Culture from Antiquity to the Contemporary Era,” Dr Saverio Battente examines the concept of sport as an element of Western culture. Sport has aided in structuring the collective identities that underpin individual civilisations in the West, and, far from being a merely marginal phenomenon, it has in fact been an essential feature of Western civilisation and culture from antiquity, in its various forms. The starting point of the book is the idea that there is a certain number of universal traits—unchanged across time and different cultures—underlying all sports, even if there are a series of entirely original elements with which sport has been linked over the centuries in specific civilizations. This volume thus makes a comparative analysis of the ancient, modern, and contemporary worlds and various national contexts; longues durées (whose presence transcends anthropological and cultural barriers), divergences, and discontinuities pertaining to the concept of sport are identified and explored. The book also looks at the link between the rise of civilisation and the educational and training function of sport, as well as the connection between a culture’s decline and a growing emphasis on sport as an element of entertainment and spectacle in and of itself.

Download or read book Allez les rouges written by and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Panem et circenses ! Si l'on répète à l'envi les mots de Juvénal, on se trompe en général sur le sens de l'expression "jeux du cirque" : il ne s'agit en rien des combats de gladiateurs, mais bien du spectacle sportif qui se déroulait dans le Grand Cirque de Rome et offrait des compétitions athlétiques et surtout hippiques. Ben Hur et non pas Spartacus. Et comme le sport antique est souvent identifié à la Grèce, en raison d'Olympie et du renouveau des jeux olympiques en 1876, on a aussi tendance à oublier que ce sont les Etrusques et non les Grecs qui ont le plus apporté aux Romains dans ce domaine : il était donc nécessaire de présenter ici diverses facettes du sport étrusque. Les jeux du cirque sont un moment essentiel dans la société romaine et les courses de chars, qui par bien des côtés évoquent notre football contemporain, s'affirment d'une incroyable modernité : un spectacle planétaire déchaînant les passions dans tout l'Empire romain, un Grand Cirque pouvant accueillir 150 000 spectateurs, une organisation en quatre factions qui avaient tout de nos grands clubs, enfin un culte de la vedette, les cochers de quadriges en l'occurrence, aux gains scandaleux, et qui étaient parfois transférés d'un club à un autre. " Allez les Rouges ! " criaient sur les gradins les supporters de cette couleur...

Download or read book Sport in the Greek and Roman Worlds written by Thomas Francis Scanlon and published by Oxford Readings in Classical S. This book was released on 2014 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the identity of Greek athletes and the place of Greek games in the Roman era to forms, functions, and venues of Roman spectacles, this second volume of Sport in the Greek and Roman Worlds contains eleven articles and chapters of enduring importance to the study of ancient Greek and Roman sport, a field located at a crucial intersection of social history, archaeology, literature, and other aspects of those cultures. The studies have been updated with addenda by the original authors, and four of the articles that were originally published in German have been translated into English here for the first time. The studies, selected for breadth and importance of historical topics, include: the economics, status, gender, and training of ancient athletes; the place of Greek athletes in the Roman era; the evolution of Roman games from Etruscan customs and of the Roman arena from earlier traditions; the monetary prices of gladiators; the role of animal games in Rome; and the Roman team sport of chariot racing. A companion first volume complements this one with studies on Greek sport in its epic, heroic, and Bronze Age origins; the ancient Olympics in its relation to religion, politics, and diversity of competitors; Greek events in track and field and equestrian events. The articles in both volumes offer an excellent starting point to inspire newcomers to the study of ancient sport, and to give students and scholars an informative set of models for present knowledge and future research.

Download or read book Greek Athletics in the Roman World written by Zahra Newby and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2005-10-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enduring importance of Greek athletic training and competition during the period of the Roman Empire has been a neglected subject in past scholarship on the ancient world. This book examines the impact that Greek athletics had on the Roman world, approaching it through the plentiful surviving visual evidence, viewed against textual and epigraphic sources. It shows that the traditional picture of Roman hostility has been much exaggerated. Instead Greek athletics came to exercise a profound influence upon Roman spectacle and bathing culture. In the Greek east of the empire too, athletics continued to thrive, providing Greek cities with a crucial means of asserting their cultural identity while also accommodating Roman imperial power.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook Sport and Spectacle in the Ancient World written by Alison Futrell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport and spectacle in the ancient world has become a vital area of broad new exploration over the last few decades. This Handbook brings together the latest research on Greek and Roman manifestations of these pastimes to explore current approaches and open exciting new avenues of inquiry. It discusses historical perspectives, contest forms, contest-related texts, civic and social aspects, and use and meaning of the individual body. Greek and Roman topics are interwoven to simulate contest-like tensions and complementarities, juxtaposing, for example, violence in Greek athletics and Roman gladiatorial events, Greek and Roman chariot events, architectural frameworks for contests and games in the two cultures, and contrasting views of religion, bodily regimens, and judicial classification related to both cultures. It examines the social contexts of games, namely the evolution of sport and spectacle across cultural and political boundaries, and how games are adapted to multiple contexts and multiple purposes, reinforcing social hierarchies, performing shared values, and playing out deep cultural tensions. The volume also considers other directing forces in the ancient Mediterranean, such as Bronze Age Egypt and the Near East, Etruria, and early Christianity. It addresses important themes common to both antiquity and modern society, such as issues of class, gender, and health, as well as the popular culture of the modern Olympics and gladiators in cinema. With innovative perspectives from authoratative scholars on a wide range of topics, this Handbook will appeal to both students and researchers interested in ancient history, literature, sports, and games.
