Abstract:
Abstract Since its inception, the Olympic Movement has had a strong culture mandate, with “sport, culture and education” being presented as the essential pillars of Olympism in the Olympic Charter. Dedicated cultural programs—now called the Cultural Olympiad—have been a compulsory requirement at the Olympic Games since 1912; artists have always been welcome contributors to the Olympic narrative, and cultural values have informed the development of Olympic rituals from the outset. Despite this, John J. MacAloon and others have noted the lack of a coherent cultural policy framework within the movement and have debated the diversity and local sensitivity of the International Olympic Committee's cultural mandate and portfolio. This article reviews the significance of MacAloon's reflections on this subject since 2000 and interrogates the value of recent developments such as the role of culture within Agenda 2020, changes in the composition of the IOC Cultural and Olympic Heritage Commission, and the evolving positioning of the Cultural Olympiad as the leading contribution of Olympic host cities into the movement's cultural offer. The article concludes with reflections on the potential and challenges for fully inclusive, timely and representative Olympic cultural policies going forward.

Abstract:
School subject Olympiads in Russia are among the most important projects in the field of education that receive powerful state support. During the preparation for the Olympiads, participants thoroughly study the curriculum. Meanwhile, successful students often go far beyond the minimum level of knowledge in their subject studies, thus preparing for research activities in higher education. However, the program documents of the Olympiads poorly regulate the instructional framework of the educational and methodological sets created. The purpose of this study is to identify the moral impact of the tasks of the Olympiad in English on schoolchildren, as well as to establish the moral potential of the content of the Olympiad. The author has studied numerous scientific materials of modern Russian researchers reflecting on the prospects of the moral aspects of education, taking into account the specifics of the English language subject. The author concludes that mastering sociocultural competence at the level declared in the Olympiad can impact the ethical education of a person, besides, excessive immersion in the values of English-speaking countries can lead to defying more traditional values. As part of the research, the materials of the Olympiad were studied and the focus was put on sociocultural phenomena that are required to be learned for successful participation in the Olympiad. The article speaks of the need to rethink approaches to the creation of the Olympiad competition materials, including the systematization of topics as part of the study of the socio-cultural characteristics of English-speaking countries.

Abstract:
The 2012 Cultural Olympiad contained plenty of events that might have happened quite normally without the 2012 badge. The Olympics themselves may even have contributed to a 40% drop in museum attendance over the summer, as recently reported in some newspapers. But Birmingham Opera Company's production, starting on 22 August, of Mittwoch, the ‘unstageable’ third part of Stockhausen's Licht, at the Argyle Works in Great Barr Street was a Mo Farah moment. Not only for the Olympian commitment and talent required, but also because without Olympian funding (something in the order of £1 million was rumoured) it simply would not have been possible. Director Graham Vick had co-opted the varied talents of Ex Cathedra, London Voices, Paul Brown as designer, Giuseppe di Iorio in charge of lighting, Ron Howell as choreographer, and Kathinka Pasveer as musical director.

Abstract:
The Bolivian Physics Olympiad (OBF) and the Bolivian Astronomy and Astrophysics Olympiad (OBAA) programs were created to address the urgent challenge of how to encourage the study of the sciences among Bolivian youth and in particular the study of physics, astronomy and astrophysics. The idea behind the programs has been to generate greater scientific and technological capacities that enhance the cultural, as well as the economic and social aspects for the country’s development. The OBF and OBAA programs started in 1997 and 2006, respectively. Since then, many generations of students have been motivated in public and private educational units in Bolivia. At the start only senior students were invited to participate, but later younger students were targeted and the invitation was extended to 6th grade primary school children and onwards, involving a total of seven categories at a national level. The majority of public and private universities have started nourishing themselves with the talent of those ex-olympic students, as well as, several foreign universities. Also, many Bolivian delegations have participated in Latinamerican, Iberoamerican and International Olympiads. Participation in these international events has highlighted the competitivity of Bolivian youth. In addition we stress that the goal put forward is being achieved, not only for our country but also for the benefit of humankind. Thus, we could say that the olympiads program is, in principle, ad aeternum.

Abstract:
The paper considers the essential features of municipal stage of All-Russian English Language School Olympiad (ARELSO or Olympiad). The author views the Olympiad as a creative intellectual contest (subject Olympiad) aiming at revealing intellectually, linguistically, socioculturally and creatively gifted and talented in the sphere of foreign languages children and further developing their intellectual and creative potential. The author emphasizes the importance of ARELSO as an effective means of assessing students knowledge as well as its correspondence with CEFR; of stimulating students interest and encouraging their competitiveness, creative, analytical and research activity, readiness for self-study and independent learning; of helping them to identify their future vocational orientation. Outlining researchers contribution to the field of intellectual contests and work with gifted and talented children, the author has to admit the absence of comprehensive full-scale research into subject Olympiads, covering theoretical aspects of and practical guidelines for designing English language Olympiad tasks. The relevance of the study is determined by the authors experience as an Olympiad tasks designer and an attempt to offer thorough guidance and practical tips to inexperienced teachers involved in the process of preparing students for ARELSO. The paper reveals how the regulations of All-Russian School Olympiad are observed in real municipal level tasks. The author comments on the task types and formats, their linguistic and intellectual complexity, thematic and sociocultural relevance. As a result of the study, the author emphasizes the necessity of designing for the Olympiad new original tasks with the aim of assessing students creative potential, foreign language competence and scope in the sphere of linguistics, country studies, linguocultural studies and cross-cultural communication.

Abstract:
In 2012, London staged the Olympic Games and the associated Cultural Olympiad, which produced the ‘London 2012’ Festival, funding a wide series of events including many productions by the London International Festival of Theatre (LIFT). A decade on, this article considers the impact of these overlapping events during a period of unprecedented austerity in the United Kingdom, and how arts events might be considered as having colluded with the government’s own agenda. The connection between neoliberal governance, with its programme of increased privatization, rapid gentrification, and the opportunistic marketing of diversity is examined with reference to increasing nationalism through Olympiad displays, together with the increasing influence of the ‘experience economy’ as defined by Joseph Pine and James Gilmore. Phoebe Patey-Ferguson is a Lecturer in Theatre and Social Change at Rose Bruford College. This article, derived from their PhD on LIFT in its social, cultural, and political context, follows ‘LIFT and the GLC versus Thatcher: London’s Cultural Battleground in 1981’ (NTQ 141) and, in the same issue, Patey-Ferguson’s interview with LIFT’s founding Artistic Directors, Rose Fenton and Lucy Neal.

Abstract:
Mega events such as the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games present unique opportunities to increase the economic and social capital required by destinations to be competitive on the global tourism stage. Engaging Games and community stakeholders in the networks needed to organize and deliver such events is central to creating sustained and positive legacies. Network building and maintenance can occur at a variety of levels and scales. Effective and sustained networks depend on and are shaped by the social and reputational capital created through the process of managing various dimensions of the event. One of the more recent Games’ dimensions used as a vehicle for creating social capital is the Cultural Olympiad. This dissertation creates and tests the utility of a conceptual model in identifying how event organizers strategically select stakeholders and nurture network relations to build the reputational capital needed for sustained competitiveness. It builds this model based on premises and principles emerging from literature related to corporate social responsibility, social capital development, reputational capital creation, Olympic mega-event legacies, tourism destination branding and community based sustainability planning. The study tests the model’s usefulness through a case study of the stakeholders, networks, and outcomes created in the development and delivery of Whistler’s portion of the 2010 Winter Games Cultural Olympiad – ‘Whistler Live!’. It explores the ways in which Whistler engaged its stakeholders and partners so as not only to meet its immediate Olympic goals, but also to contribute the longer term reputation and sustainability of the resort community.

Mestrado em Estudos Ingleses
O presente trabalho propõe-se analisar a campanha Britânica para acolher os Jogos Olímpicos de 2012 bem como a Apresentação de Londres 2012 na Cerimónia de Encerramento dos Jogos Olímpicos de Beijing, em 2008. Será abordada a complexidade dos ícones apresentados, bem como os motivos que estiveram na base desta opção. A Apresentação de Londres 2012 centra-se, claramente, em ícones que, mais do que a Grã-Bretanha, identificam a cidade de Londres ao longo de oito minutos assemelhando-se a um anúncio publicitário. Assim sendo, Londonness e Britishness serão explorados como dois conceitos possivelmente diferentes. Às questões teóricas relacionadas com a identidade seguir-se-á um capítulo dedicado à contextualização histórica dos dois momentos em que Londres recebeu os Jogos Olímpicos – 1908 e 1948. Face aos ideais dos Jogos Olímpicos da era moderna e às estratégias de marketing que a Apresentação de Londres 2012 sugere, apresentam-se os presumíveis argumentos que persuadiram o Comité Olímpico a eleger a cidade de Londres em detrimento das rivais Paris, Madrid, Nova York e Moscovo. O conjunto de ícones utilizados nesta apresentação será discutido na pluralidade de significados que sugerem. Finalmente, questionam-se as significativas estratégias utilizadas e que indiciam que os Jogos Olímpicos são um mega-evento politizado, como tantos outros, com características que apelam a uma população global e massificada. Acentuar Londonness em detrimento de Britishness poderá, assim, ter sido uma estratégia de marketing mais eficaz, uma vez que Londres, ao contrário da Grã-Bretanha, é mais facilmente identificável por ser uma cidade do mundo. A astuciosa campanha e a Apresentação de Londres 2012 foram inteiramente concebidas para consumo externo. ABSTRACT: This thesis aims to analyse the British campaign to host the 2012 Olympics and the London 2012 Presentation during the Closing Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It will look at the complexity of the iconic images used, as well as the reasons for the choice of these over others. This presentation clearly focuses on symbols that, rather than Britain, identify London in an eight-minute presentation resembling an advertisement. Hence, Londonness and Britishness will be explored as two possibly distinctive concepts. Theoretical questions relating to identity will be followed by a chapter briefly covering the historical background of the1908 and 1948 London Olympics. Considering the ideals upon which the modern Olympic Games are based and the marketing strategies the London 2012 Presentation seems to have used, I will attempt to present the probable reasons that led the Olympic Committee to choose the London bid over its rivals: Paris, Madrid, New York and Moscow. I will also discuss the set of icons used in the presentation for the range of significations they suggest. Finally, I will question the meaningfulness of the Olympic Games as a highly politicized mega-sporting event that, like so many others, is aimed at channels of global mass consumption. Stressing Londonness over Britishness would then seem to have suggested a more effective marketing strategy, for London as opposed to Britain, could more plausibly offer itself as a place belonging to the world. The skill of the campaign and the London 2012 Presentation was that it was wholly made for external consumption.

Abstract:
O desempenho no esporte de alto rendimento está associado a situações de desgastes físicos e psicológicos extremos tanto em treinamentos como em competições. A dor é um atributo constante na vida destes atletas e trata-se de uma experiência sensorial e emocional avaliada muitas vezes como negativa, associada a uma lesão real ou não que abrange aspectos fisiológicos, sociais e psíquicos. Assim, estudos com a intenção de dar significado a dor na percepção dos próprios atletas devem levar em conta a cultura do esporte e da modalidade, pois a cultura é um complexo de habilidades ou hábitos adquiridos pelo sujeito enquanto membro de um grupo social, fornecendo dados da identidade do ser atleta. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar como as atletas olímpicas de Ginástica Rítmica experienciaram a dor e os seus significados em sua carreira esportiva. Para tanto foram investigadas as 18 atletas brasileiras que participaram dos Jogos Olímpicos de Verão em diferentes edições, sob a ótica dos Estudos Culturais, inspiração teórica para pensar produções culturais e as práticas sociais. A decisão por investigar esse grupo se estruturou por ser uma modalidade com grande dificuldade técnica, de profissionalização precoce e alto nível de desempenho, alcançados ainda na adolescência. A exigência excessiva e prematura do corpo, o envolvimento com as rotinas e o alto nível de dificuldade dos exercícios praticados predispõe as atletas a um maior risco de dor e sofrimento. O método utilizado foi a narrativa biográfica que proporcionou apreender por meio das memórias desse grupo de atletas a compreensão do significado da dor no esporte e na modalidade específica, apontando que esses significados são transmitidos através das gerações e relacionam-se com tradições e convenções grupais. As atletas criam sentidos para essas vivências através do discurso construído socialmente na modalidade; as experiências acumuladas dentro do grupo levam as participantes a uma expectativa do sofrimento; os vínculos estabelecidos geram a capacidade de simbolizar a dor; suportar o limite imposto pelo corpo faz parte da cultura da modalidade. Os sentidos que constituem o significado da dor permitiu compreender a essência dos conteúdos do que é e como se dá a experiência dolorosa de uma modalidade esportiva quando praticada em alto rendimento
High performance sports is associated with extreme physical and psychological wear in training and competition. Pain is a constant attribute in the lives of these athletes and it is a sensory and emotional experience often evaluated as negative, associated with a real physiological, social and psychic real or non-abreviant injury. Thus, studies with an intention of meaning and perception of the athletes themselves are taken into account the culture of the sport and the modality, because the culture is a complex of skills or habits acquired through a social factor. This study aimed to analyze how Olympic Rhythmic Gymnastics athletes experienced pain and their own meanings in their sports career. To that end, 18 Brazilian athletes participating in the Summer Olympics in different editions were investigated, from the perspective of Cultural Studies, theoretical inspiration to think about cultural productions and social practices. A decision to investigate this group was structured because it is a modality with great technical difficulty, of previous professionalization and a high level of performance, reached in adolescence. The excessive and premature requirement of the body, the involvement with routines and the high level of difficulty of the exercises practiced predispose as athletes to a greater risk of pain and suffering. The method used for the biographical narrative that allowed to apprehend through the medium of the memories of this group of athletes in the understanding of the meaning of pain without sport and in the specific modality, pointing out that these meanings are transmitted through sales and relate to group conventions and traditions. The athletes create meanings for these lives through the socially constructed discourse in the modality; the experiences as accumulated within the group they take as participants an expectation of suffering; the established bonds generate the capacity to symbolize pain; support more than the legal limit for the body is part of the sport culture. The senses that constitute the meaning of permible pain, namely the essence of the contents of what is like a painful experience of a sporting modality when practiced in high yield

Abstract:
Esta tesis estudia el estado y aplicaciones actuales de políticas culturales en la producción del programa cultural de un gran evento. La tesis parte de la base de que los planteamientos de una política cultural pueden ser un instrumento útil para guiar el diseño, la gestión y la promoción de un programa cultural. Adicionalmente, se considera que la relevancia cultural de un gran evento depende en gran medida de la consistencia en la elección de una política que informe su dimensión cultural tanto a un nivel local como global. En esta línea, la tesis tiene como objetivo explorar si los principios de una política cultural ofrecen una buena plataforma para gestionar y comunicar la dimensión cultural de un gran evento como los Juegos Olímpicos y en particular, su programa cultural oficial. La tesis utiliza los Festivales Olímpicos de las Artes de Sydney 2000 como caso de estudio.
Las nociones y aplicaciones de una política cultural son analizadas en el contexto de la red global del gran evento- en el caso de los Juegos Olímpicos, el Comité Olímpico International (COI) - y en el contexto del anfitrión local - Sydney y Australia. La influencia de la red global del evento es estudiada a través de una revisión histórica de la definición de cultura y programa cultural en el Movimiento Olímpico, y mediante el análisis de las estructuras y agendas culturales del COI. A un nivel local, las convergencias y divergencias entre el programa cultural del evento y la política cultural de la ciudad y país anfitrión se explican a partir del estudio del contexto histórico, social y político de Sydney -Australia; las estructuras de gestión del evento, sus estrategias de promoción, y sus impactos a corto plazo.
Uno de los hallazgos clave de la tesis es que los planteamientos de una política cultural tienen una influencia menor en la producción del programa cultural de un gran evento. El COI no tiene una política cultural definida y es por tanto incapaz de ofrecer una guía cultural consistente para los organizadores de respectivos Juegos Olímpicos. Esto indica que la capacidad de producir de un programa cultural representativo y relevante depende enteramente de las habilidades y prioridades de la comunidad local y sus líderes. Sin embargo, el estudio del caso de Sydney e investigaciones sobre casos anteriores revela que el papel de planificadores y gestores culturales en la organización de grandes eventos es muy marginal. Por el contrario, la mayoría de eventos son dirigidos por los intereses económicos de inversores privados y públicos, y por derivadas estrategias de márketing.
La tesis concluye indicando que grandes eventos como los Juegos Olímpicos son a menudo incapaces de dejar un legado cultural relevante y de ofrecer una experiencia representativa que sea apropiada por la comunidad local. Esto se debe al énfasis desmesurado en la protección de intereses económicos mientras los aspectos sociales y culturales del evento son relegados a una posición secundaria. A pesar de los éxitos conseguidos en el desarrollo de estrategias de márketing y promocionales para grandes eventos, sólo la creación de una política cultural coherente puede asistir en la consecución de un legado que vaya más allá de impactos económicos a corto plazo, y sea capaz de llegar a la comunidad anfritiona y espectadores globales de manera significativa y distintiva.
This thesis studies the current state and application of cultural policy principles in the production of a great event's cultural programme. The thesis departs from the idea that cultural policy principles can be a useful tool to guide the design, management and promotion of an event's cultural programme. Furthermore, it is considered that the cultural relevance of a great event is highly dependent on the consistency of the policy choices informing its cultural dimensions both at a global and a local level. In this context, the thesis aims to explore whether notions of cultural policy provide a good platform for managing and communicating the cultural dimension of a great event such as the Olympic Games, in particular, the Games official cultural programme. The thesis uses the Sydney 2000 Olympic Arts Festivals as a case study.
Notions and applications of cultural policy are analysed according to the event's global network - the IOC - and its local host - Sydney and Australia. The influence of the event's global network is studied through a historical review of notions of culture in the Olympic Movement and an analysis of the cultural structures and agendas within the IOC. At a local level, convergences and divergences between the event's cultural programme and the cultural policy of the local host are explained on the grounds of the Sydney and Australia's social and political context, the event structures of management, its promotional strategy and its short-term impacts.
A key finding of the research is the very limited influence that cultural policy principles have in the production of a great event's cultural programme. The IOC does not have a clearly defined cultural policy and is thus unable to offer a consistent guide for respective Games organisers. This means that success in implementing locally representative cultural programmes depends entirely on the event host community. However, research on the Sydney case and commentary on prior events reveals that cultural planners and policy-makers have a marginal role in the planning and organisation of great events. Instead, events are driven by economic interests and marketing strategies.
The thesis concludes that great events such as the Olympic Games frequently fail to leave long-term cultural legacies and are often unable to provide an experience that fully engages and represents the host community. This occurs because there has been an over-emphasis on economic interests while the social and cultural aspects of the event have been deemed secondary. Regardless of the success in developing event marketing and promotional strategies, only the creation of coherent cultural policies can assist securing an event legacy that goes beyond economic impacts and touches host communities and global viewers in meaningful and distinctive ways.

Abstract:
Specifically, this study is about the effects of culture, organisational culture and postmodernism on the Olympic Games and the perceptions of Australian Olympic athletes, both past and present and their understanding of the culture of the Olympic Games. The focus of this research examines the culture of the Olympic Games and provides insights into the background of the Games from Australian athlete's perspective. The study explores this theme further in order to understand those areas of culture which Australian athletes rarely get the opportunity to talk about and thereby offers the occasion to open new avenues for research into the culture of organisations, such as the International Olympic Committee. Furthermore, the thesis probes into the culture of the Olympic Games using the theoretical structures of Organisational Culture and Postmodernism to provide a better understanding and knowledge base for the discipline. Also, the research reports upon the athlete's perspectives in the light of the two previous theoretical structures. In spite of these previous points, little is known regarding the cultural aspects of the Olympic Games and even less is known of the culture of the Olympic Games from the athletes' perspective. Participants in an Olympic Games - athletes, officials, dignitaries, press, technicians and support personnel all experience the cultural mix of individuals at the Games first hand. However, it would certainly be of importance to understand how athletes communicate and relate to each other and how all participants within the Olympic Games organisation relate and communicate with each other. However, there is a need to acknowledge that politics exists within the Olympic Games and that its existence should be brought out of the background and placed on the agenda so that political action within the Games can be avoided in order that they might function more effectively and at a higher standard. A knowledge of culture and politics and the pitfalls and problems associated with change in the Olympic Games would support the building between individual athletes rather than allow conflict and competition to occur. This implies that, if individuals can work together without having to consider politics, then the system will benefit.

Abstract:
AbstractThis study focuses on how virtual reality applications might evoke nostalgic sensations in travellers during cultural heritage tourism. While extensive research on the tourism experience has revealed different extrinsic and intrinsic dynamics that affect the tourist experience, this research aims to explore what feeling of back in time VR users experience in an archaeological destination. The gap in visitor experience employing VR research still persists, despite the rising adoption rate of immersive technology, such as virtual reality. In this study, a qualitative method has been applied to analyse online reviews of VR users who visited the Olympia Archaeological Site in Greece and used the ‘Back in Time Olympia’ VR application. The findings drawn from the results show that nostalgia, presence, engagement by learning, and service experience are essential determinants of tourist VR experiences in such cultural heritage destinations.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The topic of this report is related to introducing information about the Olympic flame’s passing through Bulgaria in 1936. Our country takes a significant place in the development of the international Olympic movement. Since it participated in the first modern Olympic Games, our country has persisted in establishing the Olympic values in society through the gymnastics movement, the Bulgarian Olympic Committee activities, and other prominent sports people’s activities. An important feature related to Bulgarian sport’s involvement in the Olympic idea and the Olympic movement was our active participation in organizing the first carrying of the Olympic flame. This study aims to reveal new information on the topic. The research encompasses several major areas for collecting information – foreign literary sources research (13 sources); a survey of all publications by Bulgarian researchers-historians in the field of sport and the Olympic movement in Bulgaria (11 sources); a review of all preserved Bulgarian periodicals since 1936 (74 articles found), review of the „Olympia Zeitung“since 1936 (8 articles found) and review of Greek newspapers since 1936 (4 articles found). Methodologically, all the information found in scientific or popular publications was systematized by using content analysis, comparative analysis, and critical analysis. The keywords used to search for information on the topic were: Olympic Flame, Olympic Flame Torch, Olympic Games 1936, and Olympic symbols. For the aim of the research we used data retrieved from Journal of Olympic History, Journal of the History of Sport, International Olympic Academy, Olympic Review, www.academia.edu, as well as books and publications pre-served in the historical archive of National Sports Academy “Vassil Levski”, the Central National Archive, the Regional archives, and the regional history museums in the towns where the Olympic flame went through. In the unfavorable material and economic conditions in the 1930s our country created an excellent organization and turned this event into one of the most important social-cultural phenomena, which influenced the new perception about the role and significance of the Olympic Games and amateur sport.

Abstract:
The article analyzes the problems of economics and ecology of the agro-industrial complex of the Krasnodar Region. It is concluded that the rapidly changing conditions for the development of the agricultural sector require a search for ways to improve training, a new system of environmental education, and new technologies for including young people in solving the environmental problems of the agricultural sector. On the example of the Krasnodar Region, modern traditional and innovative methods and technologies (Olympiad movement, involvement in research work, regional competitions, information and communication technologies, interactive technologies, projective technologies, etc.) of the formation of an ecological culture of Youth are considered.

Abstract:
<p>The historic Olympic stadium in Helsinki of 1938, venue of the Olympic Games in 1952, is elaborately modernized at present. The individual impression as a historic building, particularly the distinctive facade, is preserved in detail. Observing the severe restrictions of monumental protection, the now 80 years old building is complemented, among other things, by the construction of a warm-up running racetrack hall and a mall with shops as well as new stand roofs for both stands. In this context, MAURER develops special structural uplift bearings for the new roof construction. The distinctive feature is transferring primarily occurring tensile loads (secondary alternating pressure loads) kinematically precise to the substructure while balancing relative movements and relative torsion. The architecture requires smallest structures that meet highest safety requirements.</p>
