Modern sport cannot be understood without ancient sport. Sport saturates contemporary society and the global reach of sport and its intense popularity characterizes the modern world. But, at the same time, sport is one of the most ancient human pursuits. In the globalized sport of today, the type of athletic performance and the ideology of sport and its apparent origins are mostly derived from the model of one pre-modern civilization: Graeco-Roman antiquity. Juxtaposing ancient writers with recent ones, including the modern Olympic founder Pierre de Coubertin and physical fitness impresario Bernarr Macfadden, and by examining the representation of sport in Olympic films, Miller demonstrates the ancient heritage of contemporary sport, and the creative ways in which ancient sport has been adapted, appropriated, mishandled and reimagined. Sport today contains a surprising contradiction: its explicit modernity (from its technological sophistication and integration into capitalist markets to its institutionalization and celebrity culture) and its supposed antiquity (from the mythology of the Olympics to the ancient roots of sporting civic and national pride, and the emotional and near religious fervour of sports fans). This book intervenes in one of the most important of the receptions of classical antiquity by examining how sports personalities, agencies, institutions and movements have consciously connected themselves to the Graeco-Roman past, even as they continue to insist on their own centrality in the modern world"

Este libro presenta un análisis detallado de la Pentagonía de Reinaldo Arenas, que incluye las novelas Celestino antes del alba, El palacio de los blanquísimas mofetas, Otra vez el mar, El color del verano, y El asalto. A través del uso de la ficción, Arenas ofrece un testimonio de la opresión que sufrió en Cuba como escritor homosexual durante los años sesenta y los setenta. Este libro pone de relieve el hecho de que, aunque su trabajo no cumpla con las pautas de la novela testimonial cubana, le da una voz a aquellos que fueron silenciados por el gobierno revolucionario. Los dos primeros capítulos ofrecen una visión general de los géneros literarios relevantes para este estudio, como la autobiografía, la novela autobiográfica y la novela testimonial, así como del contexto socio-histórico de la Pentagonía. Posteriormente, este estudio analiza en detalle cada novela por separado, y ofrece una visión de la Pentagonía en su conjunto.

This book presents an in-depth analysis of Reinaldo Arenas's Pentagony, which includes the novels Singingfrom the Well, The Palace of the White Skunks, Farewell to the Sea, The Color of Summer, and The Assault. Through the use of fiction, Arenas offers a testimony of theoppression he suffered in Cuba during the sixties and the seventies as a homosexual writer. This book highlights the fact that although his work does not comply with the guidelines of the Cuban documentary novel, it does give a strong voice to those who were silenced by the Revolutionary government. The first two chapters provide an overview of literary genres relevant to this study, such as the autobiography, autobiographical novel and documentary novel, as well as the socio-historical context of the novels. Subsequently, this study looks in detail at each novel separately, offering a comprehensive overview of the Pentagony as a whole.
