Making the American Team: Sport, Culture, and the Olympic Experience
ISBN: 9780252066542 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Mark Dyreson locates the invasion of sport at the heart of American culture at the turn of the century. It was then that social reformers and political leaders believed that sport could revitalize the republican experiment, that a new sense of national identity could forge a new sense of community and a healthy political order as it would serve to link America's thinking classes with the experiences of the masses. Nowhere was this better exemplified than in American accounts of the Olympic Games held between 1896 and 1912. In connecting sport to American history and culture, Dyreson has...

The Rise of Stadiums in the Modern United States: Cathedrals of Sport
ISBN: 9780415853811 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many Americans know more about the stadiums that loom over their cityscapes or college campuses than they do about any other aspect of the nation's geography. Stadiums serve as iconic monuments of urban and university identities. Indeed, the power of sport in modern American culture has produced 'sportscapes'-landscapes literally shaped by their devotion to athletic competition. Curiously, given the importance of the secular cathedrals in American culture, historians have paid little attention to these edifices. The Rise of Stadiums in the Modern United States: Cathedrals of Sport seeks to...

ISBN: 9781138880429 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 2008 China plans to use the Olympic Games to remake its national identity in the global marketplace. In so doing China treads the path blazed by the United States. For more than a century the U.S. has used the Olympic Games to construct national identity, create communal memory, and craft patriotic mythology. From opening parades where the American team refuses to dip its flag in order to signal American exceptionalism to the closing ceremonies where the U.S. media trumpet that their team owes its medals not to superior athleticism but to the nation's peerless social and political systems,...

Olympic Aspirations : Realised and Unrealised
ISBN: 9780415525862 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Olympic Aspirations: Realised and Unrealised surveys more than a century of the Olympic Movement's promotion of Olympic ideals internationally. The idea for Olympic Aspirations emerged at the world-renowned annual Beijing Academic Forum just months after the city hosted the impressive 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. One section of the Forum was devoted to the impact of the Olympic Movement on China and on China's image in the world. The tone at times was too self-congratulatory for some present. The critical discussion that continued into late 2010 inspired this book. Olympic Aspirations is a...

ISBN: 9781138828087 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When the colonies that became the USA were still dominions of the British Empire they began to imagine their sporting pastimes as finer recreations than even those enjoyed in the motherland. From the war of independence and the creation of the republic to the twenty-first century, sporting pastimes have served as essential ingredients in forging nationhood in American history. This collection gathers the work of an all-star team of historians of American sport in order to explore the origins and meanings of the idea of national pastimes-of a nation symbolized by its sports. These wide-ranging...

ISBN: 9781138108639 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Since the mid-nineteenth century, the United States has used sport as a vehicle for spreading its influence and extending its power, especially in the Western Hemisphere and around the Pacific Rim, but also in every corner of the rest of the world. Through modern sport in general, and through American pastimes such as baseball, basketball and the American variant of football in particular, the U.S. has sought to Americanize the globe's masses in a long series of both domestic and foreign campaigns. Sport played roles in American programs of cultural, economic, and political expansion. Sport...

Olympic Legacies: Intended and Unintended : Political, Cultural, Economic and Educational
ISBN: 9780415550161 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For more than a century, the Olympics have been the modern world's most significant sporting event. Indeed, they deserve much credit for globalizing sport beyond the boundaries of the Anglo-American universe, where it originated, into broader global realms. By the 1930s, the Olympics had become a global mega-event that occupied the attention of the media, the interest of the public and the energies of nation-states. Since then, projected by television, funded by global capital and fattened by the desires of nations to garner international prestige, the Olympics have grown to gargantuan...

A Cultural History of Sport in the Medieval Age
ISBN: 9781350023970 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Cultural History of Sport in the Medieval Age covers the period 600 to 1450. Lacking any viable ancient models, sport evolved into two distinct forms, divided by class. Male and female aristocrats hunted and knights engaged in jousting and tournaments, transforming increasingly outdated modes of warfare into brilliant spectacle. Meanwhile, simpler sports provided recreational distraction from the dangerously unsettled conditions of everyday life. Running, jumping, wrestling, and many ball games - soccer, cricket, baseball, golf, and tennis - had their often violent beginnings in this...
