Cet ouvrage sur l'olympisme après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, extrêmement bien documenté, montre comment le sport, jusqu'alors considéré comme apolitique, devient le terrain d'un affrontement culturel et idéologique global. Comment les États-Unis, utilisant la nature spectaculaire et dramatique du sport, ont su développer des stratégies de communication de portée universelle. Comment le modèle américain professionnel a supplanté l'amateurisme qui a disparu en tant qu'idéal. Les jeux Olympiques de Los Angeles, en 1984, cinq ans avant la chute du mur de Berlin, marquent en effet la victoire sportive et culturelle des Etats-Unis sur l'URSS. Cette victoire symbolise l'émergence de nouvelles formes de soft power qui véhiculent les normes et les valeurs du vainqueur à tous les niveaux de la société, parvenant ainsi à dicter l'agenda mondial. Grâce à des documents inédits, le lecteur comprend les stratégies mises en place afin de reléguer l'URSS au ban des nations civilisées. Mais au prix de quels compromis une telle victoire a-t-elle été rendue possible ? Quelles sont les séquelles de cet affrontement total ? Les compromis opérés sur les valeurs de la démocratie étaient-ils justifiés ? Ce livre de Jérôme Gygax aborde une dimension importante des relations internationales qui nous éclaire sur le statut et la place de la culture et du sport dans nos sociétés postmodernes, et nous permet d'en saisir les enjeux. L'olympisme peut-il aujourd'hui échapper à cette histoire particulière qui a fait de lui un instrument du pouvoir dans cette Guerre froide culturelle? Sa survie en tant que mouvement universel tient-elle à l'acceptation des règles du marché, si étranger à l'idéal olympique originel ?

Seul événement rassemblant plus de nations que l'ONU, les jeux Olympiques sont un véritable théâtre géopolitique dans lequel chaque acteur tente d'exister sur la carte du monde. Car si l'Olympisme est porteur des valeurs d'universalisme, d'excellence, de paix et de mélange des peuples, les JO restent bien les héritiers d'un siècle d'impérialisme occidental et n'évitent pas les dérives de toutes sortes et la reproduction des rapports de force internationaux. Ni tout à fait simulacre, ni tout à fait guerre, les luttes olympiques sont ainsi des rituels modernes où l'ordre mondial se donne à voir et se reproduit en paraissant se dissoudre...Cet ouvrage renouvelle l'analyse géopolitique de l'Olympisme en revisitant ses origines, son évolution et la domination politique et économique qui en résulte. Il dévoile aussi comment le monde est à la recherche de mythes contemporains, d'utopies porteuses de sens, de force et d'énergie à l'image de la flamme rallumée tous les quatre ans sur les ruines du temple d'Olympie. Mais la crise pandémique et le report des Jeux de Tokyo 2020 interrogent la pérennité de cette célébration et appellent à inventer d'autres formes d'organisations.

"During the Cold War, political tensions associated with the division of Germany came to influence the world of competitive sport. In the 1950s, West Germany and its NATO allies refused to recognize the communist East German state and barred its national teams from sporting competitions. The construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 further exacerbated these pressures, with East German teams denied travel to several world championships. These tensions would only intensify in the run-up to the 1968 Olympics. In Bidding for the 1968 Olympic Games, Heather L. Dichter considers how NATO and its member states used sport as a diplomatic arena during the height of the Cold War, and how international sport responded to political interference. Drawing on archival materials from NATO, foreign ministries, domestic and international sport functionaries, and newspapers, Dichter examines controversies surrounding the 1968 Summer and Winter Olympic Games, particularly the bidding process between countries to host the events. As she demonstrates, during the Cold War sport and politics became so intertwined that they had the power to fundamentally transform each other"--

A major contribution to the study of global events in times of global media. Owning the Olympics tests the possibilities and limits of the concept of 'media events' by analyzing the mega-event of the information age: the Beijing Olympics. . . . A good read from cover to cover." —Guobin Yang, Associate Professor, Asian/Middle Eastern Cultures & Sociology, Barnard College, Columbia University From the moment they were announced, the Beijing Games were a major media event and the focus of intense scrutiny and speculation. In contrast to earlier such events, however, the Beijing Games are also unfolding in a newly volatile global media environment that is no longer monopolized by broadcast media. The dramatic expansion of media outlets and the growth of mobile communications technology have changed the nature of media events, making it significantly more difficult to regulate them or control their meaning. This volatility is reflected in the multiple, well-publicized controversies characterizing the run-up to Beijing 2008. According to many Western commentators, the People's Republic of China seized the Olympics as an opportunity to reinvent itself as the "New China"---a global leader in economics, technology, and environmental issues, with an improving human-rights record. But China's maneuverings have also been hotly contested by diverse global voices, including prominent human-rights advocates, all seeking to displace the official story of the Games. Bringing together a distinguished group of scholars from Chinese studies, human rights, media studies, law, and other fields, Owning the Olympics reveals how multiple entities---including the Chinese Communist Party itself---seek to influence and control the narratives through which the Beijing Games will be understood.
