Abstract

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

Abstract

In this impressive book, Barbara Keys offers the first major study of the political and cultural ramifications of international sports competitions in the decades before World War II.

Abstract

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

Abstract

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

Abstract

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

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