Abstract:

The focus of the study is an analysis, to what extend nationalist positionings are used in the online mediation of sports. The empirical study focuses on how nationality is represented and constructed in textual output. In addition, the study compares the findings of a content analysis conducted in Germany and the UK. As critical case the coverage of the 2012 UEFA EURO Championship qualification in 2011 has been selected.Previous research shows that nationalism in mediated sports within the traditional media is represented through various approaches. The usage of national identities and the construction of difference have been observed by researchers, such as Dixon (2000), Bruce (2004), Malcom (2009), Stocker (2009), Chesterton (2011) and others as mechanisms of nationalism. Furthermore, the developments and trends in the genre of sports journalism have been studied by researchers, such as Schlegel (2007) and Schmalenbach (2009), in regards to the journalistic profession, economical interests and tendencies in writing.The most important theory for this research has been the construction of difference in media output as well as how national identities or nationalism is represented in textual output. Most influential for this study are the theories by Stuart Hall (1997) and Teun van Dijk (1991). A definition regarding nationality and nationalism is based on the Danish researcher Jorgensen as presented by Östman (2009).The empirical study collects articles published on the two most visited websites / portals from Germany and the UK. 81 articles have been studied through a quantitative content analysis.From the empirical study it has been concluded that in both countries nationalist positionings are represented through constructions of difference. However, it needs to be noted that journalists in Germany and the UK are using different approaches. In Germany, country names and variations are used to create distance between the home and the other teams. In the UK they are used to strengthen their own national identity. Sources and quotations of the home teams are overrepresented to underline the connection between them and the audience. Pronouns and comparatives / superlatives are used to construct an “us-versus-them” relationship. Pronouns are more important in the UK for this approach, while in Germany it is mostly comparatives / superlatives. The frequencies of the different constructions vary, but all of them are used regularly in online sports reporting and confirm that there are nationalist tendencies in sports journalism.

Abstract:

The starting point for this thesis is an investigation of the political role of cricket in the development of national identity among the colonies of the British Empire. The British invested the game with moral and political values and openly employed it to impose these values on their colonial populations. As the colonies established their own national identities they accepted, adopted and adapted these values for their own purposes. The game was used as a vehicle for entry into the closed society of the elite ruling class but was also utilized, both overtly and covertly, as a tool for resistance. This thesis examines this process in the Pacific state of Fiji through a study of the interaction of its political and social history with the development of cricket between 1874 and 1971. While the role of cricket in the development of national identity in the major test playing nations has been extensively explored, very little has been done to discover whether the processes in these countries operated in those ex-colonies where the game is still played but not to test standard. There also appears to have been little consideration given to the more pragmatic question of why the game prospered in some colonies rather than others. The role of sport in the colonial experience of the people of the Pacific islands has been neglected by historians. Utilising a broadly comparative approach, the study traces the Fijian experience with colonial sport through cricket. The importance of the sources of the game in other British colonies, the administration, missionaries and the education system, are placed in the Fijian context. The demographics of cricket in Fiji are established through a study of individual players. A contextual analysis of the game itself and the physical and geographical nature of Fiji reveal practical reasons for the game’s decline after its initial enthusiastic reception. The thesis establishes that although cricket initially flourished in Fiji, the nature of the game, Fiji’s climate and geography and the competition provided by rugby union and soccer, led to its decline. The weather and terrain frustrated the most enthusiastic attempts to promote the game. Rugby provided Fijians with a more compatible form of entertainment and excitement, dovetailing with current images of maleness and masculinity. Soccer gave Indo-Fijians a cheap leisure activity in which all could participate. Cricket remained a chiefly game and did not become popular with the general population. Relating the role of cricket to the concept of national identity within the Fijian state posed problems. National identity is intrinsically linked to nationalism and nationalism to the nation. Fiji does not fit comfortably within accepted definitions of the nation. During the period covered by the study, indigenous Fijians acknowledged cultural differences in their own society but retained a cohesive sense of ethnic identity which consolidated their polity. Nationalism, and national identity, presupposes an ‘other’. For Fijians the ‘other’ was the immigrant Indian community, not the British. The need to prove themselves against the coloniser, which drove other British colonies, did not motivate the Fijians. They were not establishing a ‘new’ national identity, only strengthening and re-working their existing identity to fit new circumstances. Hence their interaction with the game of cricket did not take on the political overtones experienced in other colonies.

Abstract:

While football is legitimately regarded as the ultimate global game, its significance to Scotland is even more exaggerated, in historical, social and cultural terms. Scots were at the forefront of 'globalising' the sport, teaching the English and other foreigners to play a highly technical and 'passing' game, only to abandon this later with characteristic complacency. Within Scotland, 'the only game' has provided its inhabitants with a cultural obsession, in which sectarian, regional and national animosities and inequalities may be contested and unsatisfactorily resolved. Consequently, the Scots are credited with gifting the world the phenomenon of 'football hooliganism', primarily at domestic club level, although the authorities latterly claim to have 'solved' such fan disorder. Upon the national stage, some argue football's social and political impacts have been markedly more pernicious, in being a dubious receptacle for the tartan-coated 'sub-nationalism' of a nation still denied a protective State. Therefore, this thesis examines the culture of these two particular, polarised categories of Scottish football fans, namely the contemporary hooligans (the 'soccer casuals') and the national team's supporters (the carnival or ambassadorial 'Tartan Army'). The thesis draws heavily upon qualitative fieldwork with these supporter groups, undertaken over the course of five years (1990-1994). To achieve this, the thesis is divided into three parts. The first part contextualises the discussion, by looking at previous explanations of football hooliganism and the extent to which these fit with initial evidence from the opposing, Scottish fan cultures. The second and third parts then introduce sustained fieldwork and analyses of these supporter groups.

Abstract:

This paper is about skiing and Swedish nationalism during the late 19th century and early 20th century. The aim is to investigate why skiing was considered so eminently suited for the incorporation of certain ideals in the national fellowship.

The paper accounts an analyse of texts and documents about Swedish skiing from 1897-1924. Skiing was a nationalistic concern from the very beginning of this period. It was connected to heartfelt feelings towards the Swedish nature, the patriotic upbringing of the youth, as well as the health of the nation. Over the years skiing also became an increased object of sportification. The competitions were popular, and the nationalistic propagandists saw the contests as means to popularize the sport. Thereby they also hoped to attract attention to the national ideals which skiing was associated with – deep feelings for the nature, a strong youth suitable for military service, and a healthy population.

Reserachers interested in the history of Swedish sport, often understand the sportification as a gradual dissociation from the nationalistic ambitions. They admit that sports, especially skiing, was influenced by patriotic ideas. But when skiing became a larger object of competition, an ideology of competition gradually replaced the nationalistic strivings.

This paper understands skiing as an invented tradition, according to Eric Hobsbawm’s The Invention of Tradition. An invented tradition shows a formalization and ritualization of a practice. The healthy skiing in the magnificent Swedish nature, is in this paper understood as the ritualized part of the tradition, while the competitions are seen as the formalized part.

By understanding skiing as an invented tradition, this paper shows that an increased interest for competitions, and the establishment of an ideology of competition, by no means replaced the efforts influenced by a nationalistic ideology. Nationalism and the ideology of competition did not exclude each other. They both existed within the same tradition, a tradition which reflects the strivings of this historic period.

Skiing was eminently suitable for the incorporation of certain national ideals in the national fellowship: Skiing communicated the ideals of the nation, and the competitions gained interest for this sport and the ideals it was associated with. The increased interest for competitions represented an increased efficiency in the nationalistic strivings.

Abstract:

Dissertação apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para a obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências da Comunicação, ramo de Jornalismo
Esta dissertação pretende demonstrar como o fenómeno do nacionalismo funciona como um obstáculo à isenção da comunicação social no seio da actividade do jornalismo desportivo. O 'superior interesse nacional', seja demonstrado através do apoio declarado dos media à selecção nacional ou aos clubes sedeados em Portugal, demite os mesmos dos seus deveres de fazerem chegar ao público uma informação livre, objectiva e que não funcione como um meio de propaganda em favor de uns e em desfavor de outros, apenas porque o jornalista partilha ou não a nacionalidade com a equipa desportiva em causa. Através da análise do acompanhamento dado pela imprensa desportiva nacional à selecção portuguesa nos grandes certames internacionais, bem como à carreira das equipas portuguesas nas provas europeias, percebemos que o fenómeno está bem enraizado no jornalismo desportivo português. Os jornalistas assumem sem pudores conhecer e seguir o “interesse nacional” acima da objectiva narração dos factos, manifestando-se este fenómeno nacionalista através da exaltação clubista, seja a selecção ou a equipa desportiva que está sedeada em Portugal. Esta noção ignora deliberadamente vários factores importantes, tais como o crescente fenómeno da globalização, o facto da informação prestada não ter como destinatários apenas cidadãos portugueses ou a possibilidade de um fervor clubista ultrapassar as fronteiras duma nação. Desta forma, e ignorando tudo o que o rodeia em nome duma ideia arcaica de interesse nacional acima da informação, o jornalista está a funcionar como um obstáculo à transmissão de uma informação imparcial e objectiva nos meios de comunicação social.
This thesis aims to demonstrate how the concept of nacionalism acts as a barrier to the impartiality within the activity of sports journalism. The 'greater national interest', being demonstrated through the avowed support of the media to the national team or clubs based in Portugal, dismiss them from their duties to give the public a free, objective information, one which doesn´t act as an advertising medium, favoring some over others, just because the journalist shares or doesn´t share the nationality with the sports team in question. Analyzing the follow-up given by the national sports media to the portuguese national team in major international competitions, as well as the career of the portuguese teams in european competitions, we realized that the phenomenon is well established in portuguese sports journalism. Journalists assume, without shame, to know and follow the "national interest" above the objective narrative of the facts, manifesting this nationalist phenomenon by clubistic exaltation, regarding the national team or the sports team that is based in Portugal. This notion deliberately ignores several important factors, such as the growing phenomenon of globalization, the fact that the information given might not be addressed only to portuguese citizens or the possibility of a clubistic passion going beyond the borders of a nation. Thus, and ignoring everything that surrounds it on behalf of an archaic notion of national interest above information, the journalist is acting as an obstacle to an impartial and objective information in the media.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2004.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There can be little doubt about the ability of major international sporting events to capture the aspirations and hopes of nations. These events have an uncanny ability of seemingly effortlessly doing what a hundred speeches and mass rallies by politicians could only hope to achieve. Therefore, it is no surprise that they are commonly understood to be able to bring nations and people together and provide a focus for national identity and unity. The 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa is an obvious proponent of such a claim, whereby South Africa was emerging from a long and arduous political transition and needed something more than going to the polling booths to unite the nation. Major international sporting events are also said to be able to provide a catalyst or incentive for democratization and human rights enhancement in authoritarian or semi-authoritarian regimes. The 1988 Olympics in South Korea is a landmark of such claims whereby the South Korean government was said to bow to the democratizing pressures exerted on it due to its hosting of the event. Many have argued that China’s hosting of the Olympics in 2008 will have a similar effect. However, equally potent, major international sporting events can have various unintended consequences in terms of identity formation, democratization prospects and human rights for the host nations. An analysis of South Africa and Zimbabwe’s co-hosting of the 2003 Cricket World Cup demonstrates this point. The outcomes of the study suggest that whilst it is normally the intention for the host nations to use the games to bring nations and people together, the Cricket World Cup opened up a rift between races, both within the race contours of the cricket playing Commonwealth world and within South Africa's domestic politics. It was also established that much like the 1995 Rugby World Cup had sought to reconcile blacks and whites domestically under the “Rainbow Nation” during Mandela's presidency, the 2003 Cricket World Cup, with its more regional focus and under Mbeki’s presidency, presented an excellent opportunity for transnational reconciliation between Africa and the Anglo-Saxon world. However, the 2003 Cricket World Cup, as a project in racial reconciliation, was essentially a failure. This was predominantly due to the choice by South Africa of Zimbabwe as co-host and due to the shift of South Africa's national identity from that of the “Rainbow Nation” under Mandela, to that of “Africanism” under Mbeki. President Mbeki’s drive towards “Africanism” proved divisive both transnationally and domestically. Symbolically, the Cricket World Cup, when compared with the 1995 Rugby World Cup, had served to highlight the decline of the “Rainbow Nation”. Zimbabwe's co-hosting of the event had served to further entrench the authoritarian regime. Instead of the regime opening up due to its co-hosting of the event, a broad clampdown on civil and political liberties was experienced. The Zimbabwean government felt the need to tighten its grip during the lead up to the event and throughout the tournament itself. The aim was to project a sanitized view of Zimbabwe to the rest of the world. Thus, the event presented an opportunity for the government to shore up its credibility and produce political propaganda. South Africa’s stance of “quiet diplomacy” also indirectly helped to further entrench the regime through the World Cup. Zimbabwe's co-hosting also impacted negatively on the opposition, the MDC. In addition to this, the various pressures which major events are said to exert on a host nation to reform politically and which result from boycott campaigns, pressure from the media, stimulation of civil society and protests, were not very effective in enhancing democratization prospects and human rights in Zimbabwe. This study reaches the overall conclusion that the claims that major events bring nations and people together and provide a catalyst or incentive for democratization and human rights enhancement in authoritarian regimes, need further revision. South Africa and Zimbabwe's co-hosting of the event did indeed have unintended consequences. Policy implications are also assessed. Future areas for research are also identified.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar bestaan min twyfel dat groot internasionele sportgebeurtenisse die strewes en verwagtinge van nasies aanwakker. Hierdie gebeutenisse het die vermoë om op ‘n oënskylike moeitelose wyse meer te bereik as wat ‘n honderd toesprake en massavergaderings deur politici kan hoop om te bereik. Daarom is dit geen verrassing nie dat daar vry algemeen aanvaar word dat hierdie gebeurtenisse oor die vermoë beskik om nasies en mense by mekaar te bring en ‘n fokus vir nasionale identiteit en eenheid kan verskaf. Die 1995 Rugby Wêreldbeker in Suid-Afrika, is ‘n ooglopende voorbeeld: Suid Afrika het uit ‘n lang en moeilike politieke oorgang gekom en het meer as ‘n blote verkiesing nodig gehad ten einde die nasie te verenig. Voorts is dit ook so dat groot internasionale sportgebeurtenisse ‘n katalisator of aansporing is vir demokratisering en die bevordering van mensregte in outoritêre en semi-outoritêre regerings. Die 1988 Olimpiese Spele in Suid-Korea ondersteun hierdie aanspraak. As gasheerland van hierdie spele, het die Suid-Koreaanse regering onder toenemende druk gekom om aan die vereistes van demokrasie te voldoen. Daar word verwag dat die Olimpiese Spele van 2008 dieselfde impak op China, die gasheerland, sal hê. Terselfdertyd is dit egter ook so dat groot internasionale sportgebeurtenisse vir die gasheerlande onverwagte negatiewe gevolge ten opsigte van identiteitsvorming, demokratiseringsvooruitsigte en bevordering van menseregte kan hê. n’ Ontleiding van Sui-Afrika en Zimbabwe se mede-aanbieding van die 2003 Krieket Wêreldbeker staaf hierdie stelling. Die resultate van die studie toon aan dat alhoewel gasheerlande normaalweg groot sportgebeurtenisse gebruik om nasies en mense byeen te bring, het die 2003 Krieket Wêreldbeker ‘n kloof tussen rasse veroorsaak – binne die krieketspelende Statebondswêreld sowel as die Suid- Afrikaanse huishoudelike politiek. Daar is ook vasgestel dat net soos die 1995 Rugby Wêreldbeker aan Suid-Afrika tydens die presidentskap van Mandela en onder die vaandel van die “Reënboognasie” ‘n plaaslike versoeningsgeleentheid tussen swart en wit gebied het, net so het die 2003 Krieket Wêreldbeker, met sy regionale fokus en onder presidentskap van Mbeki, ook ‘n uitstekende geleentheid vir trans-nasionale versoening tussen Afrika en die Anglo-Saksiese wêreld gebied. As versoeningsprojek was die 2003 Krieket Wêreldbeker egter in wese ‘n mislukking, hoofsaaklik as gevolg van Suid-Afrika se besluit dat Zimbabwe ‘n mede-gasheer moes wees en weens die feit dat Suid-Afrika se nasionale identiteit ‘n klemverskuiwing van “Reënboognasie” onder Mandela tot “Afrikanisme” onder Mbeki, ondergaan het. President Mbeki se beklemtoning van “Afrikanisme” was ook huishoudelik en trans-nasionaal verdelend. Simbolies gesproke, het die Krieket Wêreldbeker – in teenstelling met die Rugby Wêreldbeker – die “Reënboognasie” se verkwyning beklemtoon. Daar is ook vasgestel dat Zimbabwe se mede-aanbieding van die Krieket Wêreldbeker inderdaad hierdie outoritêre regering versterk het. In plaas daarvan die Zimbabwiese regering sy outoritêre greep as gevolg van sy mede-aanbieding verslap het, was daar inderdaad ‘n verdere breë onderdrukking van burgerlike en politieke regte. Die Zimbabwiese regering het in die aanloop tot en in die loop van die toernooi sy outoritêre greep verstewig ten einde ‘n gesaniteerde beeld van Zimbabwe aan die res van die wêreld te kon voorhou. Die Zimbabwiese regering het die geleentheid misbruik om geloofwaardigheid te probeer wen en politieke propaganda uit te stuur. Suid-Afrika se standpunt van “stille diplomasie” het ook die hand van Zimbabwiese regering versterk; en Zimbabwe se mede-aanbieding van die toernooi het ‘n negatiewe impak op die opposisie, die MDC, gehad. Die dwang wat op gasheerlande deur middel van boikotte, die media en proteste uitgeoefen kan word om polities te hervorm, was in die geval van Zimbabwe nie effektief nie. In hierdie studie word tot die slotsom gekom dat die aansprake dat groot sportgebeurtenisse nasies en mense saambring en ‘n aansporing vir demokratisering van outoritêre regerings is, verdere hersiening verg. Suid-Afrika en Zimbabwe se mede-aanbieding van die toernooi het onbeoogde gevolge gehad – en in sommige gevalle was hierdie gevolge selfs direk die teenoorgestelde van wat verwag is. Beleidsimplikasies word ook evalueer. Voorts word toekomstige navorsingsareas ook identifiseer.

Abstract:

Our starting point has been to use the football player Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a model person for individualism that seams to break the ordinary socialization pattern in Sweden. The purpose of this study is to examine how the team leaders handle the socialization of more individualistic focused individuals/young persons into groups, since the Swedish School Curriculum is designed to meet each individual on his or hers former experiences. Is the socialization of individuals within team sports affected by their cultural background? And, in that case, should those facts have consequences for the sport subject at school? Those are the questions we want to explore. Besides a survey of documents, we have been seeking answers to our questions through interviews with the team leaders Roland Nilsson and Peter Bergander, the pedagogues/teachers Karin Jutterström and Håkan Jensgård and the professional football player Abgar Barson.

Our study shows that the leaders and teachers of today have begun to change their view about individualists. Further, our study shows that young persons with other ethnic origin/foreign background that choose their own ways can be disqualified by a national view that is different from the perception of the ethnic Swedish, when they break the unwritten and unspoken rules and standards.

Our conclusion is that a change seems to be happening in the mentality of the mainstream Swedish society. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has become an object of identification for many young people in Sweden during the last years. It´s our point of view that the concept of “being a Zlatan” stands for a person that dares to be an extreme individualist. We believe that we stand upon a change of paradigm on the notion of individualism in Sweden since the collective thinking in Swedish society seems to be developing towards a higher acceptance for an individualistic behaviour. This is, as we see it, a development within team sports as well as a development in the rest of Swedish society, for instance, within the educational system.

Abstract:

This study aims to gain greater knowledge about the phenomenon cheerleading journalism and its existence in the Swedish sports journalism. We did this by making an impact in the media debate, to thereby identify key aspects of cheerleading journalism. These elements are then used to reach a preliminary definition of the phenomenon. This was followed by qualitative interviews with six Swedish sports journalists from newspapers Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, with the aim to find out how they behaved the phenomenon. The results of the earlier debate and the answers from the respondents show that cheerleading journalism is nationalistic, biased and seeks an inclusive effect on its audience. This phenomenon is considered to be an inferior form of journalism and progress especially in reporting on the Swedish national teams and / or individual representatives of Sweden. The results have also been related to selected theories, agenda-setting, gatekeeping and framing.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to understand and demonstrate the narrow ties between sport and International Relations. My purpose is to examine how Football especially is mixed with International Relations in many levels. The theoretical framework deals with the

nationalism theories. Nationalism theories have been relevant only for the last two decades. Nationalism has been developed in the two last centuries with the industrialisation. It can be considered as a political doctrine or ideology. The definition of Nationalism is not obvious because there are no founding theorist or text on it. This

process of nationalism induced nations to existence or self-determination. But extreme nationalism can be a danger. Nationals symbols have been created like language, food and drink, clothing, commemorative holidays, military heroes, flags, colours, and anthems.

Sport should not be forgotten in this Nationalism ideology. A qualitative study of all the books have been studied carefully. The thesis is based on a long historical approach that permitted to demonstrate the links between sport and International Relations. Pierre de Coubertin wanted Olympics to bring peace and without political means, but the situation changed rapidly everything and government policies were really influenced by sports. Not only totalitarian states but also democratic ones have been using sport for their propaganda to promote national strength. It has been like a trigger mechanism, everyone has understood how to use sport for diplomatic relations and it is a safer and harmless way than a war. Then a study of national identity construction will be the second goal.

Governments are now involved in sport to promote the prestige of a group. The other reason is to encourage a sense of identity, belonging and unity. Sport as a diplomatic tool can be considered like a public diplomacy to influence opinion. Football passion is shared by every citizen and helps us to understand the complexity of the world with its conflicting nations. In all this complicated situation, the Nordic nationalism is a fascinating new direction of peace and tolerance. For example, the Danes showed a festive way to support national teams that we can call a ‘sporting nationalism’.

Abstract:

Dès l’antiquité, les Cités grecques voyaient leurs héros, entre deux éditions des Jeux Olympiques, passer d’une ville à l’autre. Le début du XXème siècle, avec l’émergence du mouvement sportif, allait voir se poser des questions ponctuelles autour de la nationalité, comme l’un des éléments fondamentaux de la construction du système sportif. Des questions d’autant plus récurrentes, ces deux dernières décennies, dans le sillage d’une globalisation générale de l’économie mondiale et de la montée en puissance des enjeux politiques, juridiques et économiques autour du sport. Comment l’écosystème globalisé de ce dernier réinterroge-t-il le concept de nationalité ? Est-ce qu’il en confirme la propension à l’effacement, à l’instar d’autres secteurs marchands ? Afin d’en examiner les ressorts, cette thèse considère la nationalité comme étant à la fois une unité de mesure de la globalisation de l’écosystème sportif et l’une de ses ressources stratégiques. Chaque partie prenante tente de la capter à son profit, autour de deux fonctions principales : la représentativité des équipes nationales à travers les critères d’éligibilité retenus par les fédérations internationales ; la mise en place de quotas de joueurs étrangers dans les effectifs des clubs -notamment en vue de la protection de la formation locale- quoique largement battus en brèche par l’arrêt Bosman. À la faveur d’une méthodologie duale, quantitative et qualitative, cette question a été défrichée afin d’en étudier les héritages politiques, régulations juridiques et enjeux économiques qui en ont tracé les linéaments jusqu’aujourd’hui. Ainsi, la première partie de ce travail concerne le volet institutionnel à travers l’évolution du sport et la gouvernance de ses instances et des États sur cette question, tandis que la deuxième revient sur les stratégies de captation par les équipes nationales et les clubs de la valeur nationalité. Enfin, une lecture prospective de ce qui serait demain la relation sport-nationalité a été fournie, renforcée par une proposition originale de règlement soutenant la mise en place d’une nationalité sportive autonome et universelle
From ancient times, Greek cities saw their heroes, between two editions of the Olympic Games, move from one city to another. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the emergence of the Sport Movement, specific questions were raised about nationality, as one of the fundamental elements in the construction of the sports system. These questions have become all the more recurrent over the last two decades, in the wake of a general globalization of the world economy and the rise in political, legal and economic issues surrounding sport. How does the globalized ecosystem of sport reexamine the concept of nationality? Does it confirm its propensity to erase it, like other market sectors? In order to examine this question, this thesis considers nationality as both a unit of measurement of the globalization of the sports ecosystem and one of its strategic resources. Each stakeholder tries to capture it for its own benefit, around two main functions: the representativeness of national teams through the eligibility criteria adopted by the international federations; the implementation of quotas of foreign players in the club teams -notably with a view to protecting local teams- although largely defeated by the Bosman ruling. Using a dual quantitative and qualitative methodology, this question has been cleared up in order to study the political legacies, legal regulations and economic stakes that have traced its lineaments to the present day. Thus, the first part of this work deals with the institutional aspect through the evolution of sport and the governance of its authorities and states on this issue, while the second part looks at the strategies for capturing the value of nationality by national teams and clubs. Finally, a prospective reading of what the sport-nationality relationship would be tomorrow was provided, reinforced by an original proposal for a regulation supporting the establishment of an autonomous and universal sports nationality

Abstract:

This study aims to gain greater knowledge about the use of framing in local sports journalism. We did this by doing a qualitative content analysis of the local Swedish newspaper Barometern/OT and it’s coverage of the largest local football team, Kalmar FF. We randomly selected six of the team’s games during 2014 and analysed all the texts that had to do with the games, except for shorter texts and texts that are supposed to be based on personal opinions, such as chronicles. The results show that Barometern/OT have a tendency of defending individual players and giving them positive criticism, while they much more often give negative criticism to the team as a whole. Also, we found signs that Barometern/OT contributed to creating a local imagined community by having a incomplete use of names at a few times, amongst other factors. Because of these observations we noticed that the editorial staff both contributed to creating a local imagined community and that they were a part of it themselves.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo abrir uma discussão sobre o papel do esporte contemporâneo junto ao processo de alienação humana em tempos de domínio do capitalismo monopolista e do fortalecimento da ideologia dominante. Para tal, no primeiro capítulo, analisou-se as principais transformações vividas historicamente pelo capitalismo com a intenção de identificar o impacto do capitalismo monopolista sobre o novo ordenamento da humanidade. No segundo capítulo, demonstrou-se como o esporte contemporâneo constituiu-se como uma instituição burguesa, socialmente determinada e integrada ao conjunto de normas, ideias e estratégias inerentes ao modo de produção capitalista, participando do processo de mascaramento da questão social. Destaca-se neste capítulo o uso de fontes documentais que demonstraram como o esporte contemporâneo tem ocupado lugar estratégico tanto junto à produção da ideologia dominante, quanto junto ao controle da queda da taxa de lucro. Identificou-se que sob tais condições o esporte contemporâneo compõe os processos compensatórios frente à queda tendencial da taxa de lucro e, ao mesmo tempo, integra-se ao processo de alienação humana, tendo por maior expressão a sua materialização sob a forma dos megaeventos esportivos. Neste ponto, a pesquisa concentra-se na análise dos megaeventos esportivos no Brasil e na criação das políticas do esporte, desde o primeiro governo Lula da Silva até os dias atuais. Identificou-se que os projetos de desenvolvimento do esporte no país, no período em tela, têm participado do processo de gerenciamento da crise do capital e do refluxo das lutas dos trabalhadores. O último capítulo abordou as particularidades que envolvem a ideologia pós-moderna, tendo por objetivo identificar as relações desta com fenômeno esportivo. Constatou-se que, em tempos de domínio do capitalismo monopolista e de suas políticas neoliberais, as contradições que aguçam o processo de alienação sob o qual encontra-se a classe trabalhadora de todo o mundo, coloca a humanidade em um novo patamar de alienação, ainda mais brutal e desumanizador. Nesta conjuntura, o esporte contemporâneo destaca-se por ser funcional tanto ao mercado globalizado, quanto ao projeto imperialista, impondo-se como instrumento da contenção de conflitos em nome da tolerância e da paz no mundo. A presente pesquisa pôde concluir que as condições impostas pela fase monopolista do capitalismo ocultam a natureza dialética do esporte transforma-o num instrumento eficiente ao projeto dominante de incremento da alienação humana. O esporte, sob a forma assumida na contemporaneidade, não contribui para o avanço da consciência da classe trabalhadora, pois vem colaborando para adiamento do projeto de emancipação da humanidade. Projeto este que só será produzido pela organização consciente da classe trabalhadora em busca da superação do modo de produção capitalista.
This study aimed to open a discussion about the role of contemporary sports with the process of alienation in a time domain of monopoly capitalism and the strengthening of the dominant ideology. To this end, the first chapter, we analyzed the major transformations experienced by capitalism historically intended to identify the impact of monopoly capitalism on the new order of humanity. In the second chapter, it was demonstrated how the sport from its origins to today, has been integrated into the capitalist mode of production, participating in the masking process of "social issue". This chapter highlights the use of documentary sources that demonstrated how the contemporary sports has occupied a strategic place along both the production of the dominant ideology, as with the control of the falling rate of profit. It was identified that under such conditions the contemporary sports make up the front of the compensatory processes falling tendency of the rate of profit and at the same time, integrates the process of alienation, with the highest expression and its materialization in the form of sports mega-events . At this point, the research focuses on the analysis of sports mega-events in Brazil and the creation of policies of the sport since the first Lula da Silva to the present day. It was identified that the development projects of the sport in the country during the period under consideration here, have participated in the process of managing the crisis of capital and the reflux of workers' struggles. The last chapter dealt with the particular involving the post-modern ideology with the purpose to identify the relations with this sport phenomenon. It was found that, once the domain of monopoly capitalism and its neoliberal policies, the contradictions sharpen the divestiture process under which is the working class around the world, puts humanity into a new level of alienation, even more brutal and dehumanizing. At this juncture, the contemporary sports stands out for being both functional in the globalized market, as the imperialist project and is viewed as an instrument of containment of conflicts in the name of tolerance and peace in the world.This research could conclude that the conditions imposed by the monopoly stage of capitalism conceal the dialectic nature of sport makes it an efficient tool to increase the dominant design of human alienation. The sport, in the form assumed in contemporary, does not contribute to the advancement of working-class consciousness, as has been helping to postpone the project for the emancipation of humanity. This project will only be produced by the organization aware of the working class in pursuit of overcoming the capitalist mode of production.

Abstract:

Jag har med hjälp av Norman Faircloughs modell för kritisk diskursanalys bearbetat 60 mediatexter som på något sätt berör fotbollsspelaren Zlatan Ibrahimovic och två särskilda händelser under hösten 2003. Jag har redovisat teorier som diskuterar samband mellan nationalism, rasism, identitet, idrott och media, samt några klassiska sociologiska teorier om identitet och maktstrukturer. Syftet har varit att söka svar på hur den mediala bilden av Zlatan Ibrahimovic tecknas och vilka egenskaper han framställs som bärare av, på om det förekommer några nationalistiska och/eller rasistiska diskurser i materialet, samt på om Zlatan Ibrahimovic representeras som svensk eller som invandrare, en Annan, och vilka orsakerna skulle kunna vara till den representation materialet ger. Jag fann att texterna om Zlatan Ibrahimovic i stort konstruerar en medial bild av honom som en Annan, och att det sätt Zlatan Ibrahimovic omtalas kan jämföras med hur invandraren generellt omtalas i svenska medier. Jag har även funnit att det sportjournalistiska textmaterialet är starkt präglat av nationalistiska diskurser, och även av diskurser som flera av de refererade teoretikerna i detta arbete placerar under en övergripande rubrik av rasism. Jag gör därtill antagandet att Zlatan Ibrahimovic placeras i en invandrarkategori i stor utsträckning på grund av sitt namn och på grund av den svenska dialekt han talar, eftersom både språk och den språkliga aspekten namn, utgör viktiga identitetsbestämmande markörer i den starkt nationalistiska kontext som sport och sportjournalistik kan anses utgöra. Jag finner även att de diskurser som dominerar i textmaterialet stämmer överens med och snarare stärker än försvagar rådande diskursordning kring svenskhet och kring den i den nuvarande diskursiva och samhälleliga praktiken utbredda dikotomin svensk-invandrare, såsom den diskursordningen beskrivs av flera av de i detta arbete refererade teoretikerna.

Abstract:

Scholarship concerning relations between North and South Korea has focused on the political and economic areas of relations between the two Koreas, and the unification issue has been mainly considered a work of government conducted in the formal political domain. However, this thesis examines the Olympics and international sporting events as major sources and vehicles of discourse reflecting but also shaping relations between North and South Korea. The thesis, adopting a Critical Realist ontology, applies a constructivist theory of International Relations to establish how the framework of North and South Korean sports relations contributes to, and at times drive, political relations. The study adopts Critical Discourse Analysis as method, and the analysis protocols employed were established by adapting frames of reference from the work of Fairclough (2005) and Jäger and Meyer (2009). In terms of the sources employed the North Korean newspaper Roh-Dong, which is subject to state control we take to represent the view of the North Korean regime. This was selected as a resource to illustrate how the North Korean government sought to construct a particular discourse concerning national identity, political position and sport. South Korean newspapers Dong-A and Hankyoreh were chosen to identify two relatively different (relatively right and left in Korean terms) political views evident in the South Korean context and their constructions around these issues. In addition, the summaries of North and South Sports Talks published by the South Korean government provide a source of data reflecting South Korean governmental interests. From 1978 to 2007, the changes in the international context from Cold War to post-Cold War and the domestic political changes in particular in South Korea, framed each decade s North and South Korean sports relations. The shared notion of national identity and of nationhood, reflected in the primordial nationalism evident in both North and South Koreans view of themselves (and of one another) as drawn from the same bio-cultural stock, is a factors shaping the actions of governments and other stakeholders. This ideology of shared heritage goes some way to explain why despite regularly occurring political tensions, there was a recurring appeal to common identity which manifest itself in sporting activity in for example the consideration of building unified teams in major competitions, or marching together at Olympic opening ceremonies. Thus the role of sport in developing relations between North and South Korea is one which is more than simply a reflection of the state of diplomatic relations, but is actually a significant shaper of such relations. Sport diplomacy, though a form of soft diplomacy, is in this case a key factor to be incorporated with the explanation of developing political relations.

Abstract:

Dans cette thèse, nous analysons comment les commissions d’organisation de la Coupe du Monde de la FIFA 2014 et des Jeux olympiques d’été 2016 ont utilisé ces mégaévénements pour négocier l’image du pays et de ses habitants en utilisant la tension entre les récits historiques nationaux et les modèles idéalisés de ce qu'on attend d’un pays moderne et de sa position sur la scène internationale. Premièrement, nous avons identifié et discuté une série de récits nationalistes qui - au cours de différentes périodes de l’histoire du Brésil - ont été élaborés comme des moyens de contextualiser le Brésil et les Brésiliens au sein de ce que l’Occident considérait comme moderne. Cependant, sachant qu'il existe de nombreuses façons différentes de vivre et de représenter une nation continentale regorgeant de contrastes régionaux comme le Brésil, nous contextualisons également la représentation des cultures de différents Brésils dans les récits dominants de la brésilité. Une fois ces récits nationalistes et régionalistes définis, nous avons pu les identifier dans l'analyse du contenu du matériel audiovisuel de la Coupe du monde de 2014 et des Jeux olympiques de 2016 - par example, dans les affiches, des logos, des mascottes, des cérémonies, etc. L’adoption, le rejet ou la négociation de ces récits dans les cérémonies mentionnées nous indique non seulement comment les architectes de ces événements ont compris et projeté l’image de la nation à l’étranger, mais aussi comment ils ont révélé leurs perceptions à propos de la brésilité et aussi de la modernité. En outre, l’analyse a également exposé les points de vue des comités d’organisation sur le rôle que jouent les cultures des différentes régions du Brésil dans leurs idées sur la nation, ainsi que leur compréhension de la façon dont différents peuples qui habitent le pays - tels que les descendants de portugais, africains, amérindiens, etc. – ont contribué à la formation de la nation
In this thesis, we have analysed how the organising committees of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics have used these mega-events to negotiate the image of the country and its inhabitants through the tension between historical national narratives and idealised standards of what is expected from a modern nation in relation to the world scene. To do it so, firstly, we have identified and discussed a series of nationalistic historical core narratives which - in different periods of Brazilian history - were crafted to contextualise Brazil and Brazilians within western modernity. Nonetheless, as we understand that there is a myriad of different ways of experiencing and representing a continental nation filled with regional contrasts as Brazil, we also have contextualised the representation of the cultures of different Brazils within dominant narratives of Brazilian-ness. Once we have delineated such nationalist and regionalist narratives, we were able to identify them in the content analysis of the audiovisual material of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics such as posters, logos, mascots, ceremonies and so on. The adoption, rejection or negotiation of these narratives in the aforementioned ceremonies do not only tell us how the architects of these events understood and projected the nation’s image abroad, but also unveiled their perception of Brazilian-ness and modernity. What is more, the analysis has also exposed the organising committees’ judgment of the role that the cultures of different regions play in their idea of the nation as well as their understanding of how different peoples – as the Luso-Brazilians, the Afro-Brazilians, the Amerindians, etc - have contributed to the formation of the nation
Nesta tese, analisamos como as comissões organizadoras da Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014 e os Jogos Olímpicos de verão de 2016 usaram esses megaeventos para negociar a imagem do país e seus habitantes utilizando da tensão entre narrativas nacionais históricas e padrões idealizados do que se espera de uma nação moderna e da sua relação com a cena internacional. Para tanto, em primeiro lugar, identificamos e discutimos uma série de narrativas nacionalistas que - durante diferentes períodos da história brasileira - foram elaboradas como formas de contextualizar o Brasil e os brasileiros dentro do que o ocidente considerava moderno. No entanto, como entendemos que há uma infinidade de diferentes formas de vivenciar e representar uma nação continental repleta de contrastes regionais como o Brasil, também contextualizamos a representação das culturas de diferentes Brasis dentro narrativas dominantes da brasilidade. Uma vez delineadas tais narrativas nacionalistas e regionalistas, pudemos identificá-las na análise de conteúdo do material audiovisual da Copa do mundo de 2014 e dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016 – tais como cartazes, logotipos, mascotes, cerimônias e assim por diante. A adoção, rejeição ou negociação dessas narrativas nas cerimônias mencionadas não só nos dizem como os arquitetos desses eventos entenderam e projetaram a imagem da nação no exterior, mas também como revelaram as suas percepções de brasilidade e de modernidade. Além disso, a análise também expôs as visões das comissões organizadoras sobre qual é papel que as culturas de diferentes regiões brasileiras desempenham nas suas idéias a respeito da nação, bem como os seus entendimentos de como diferentes povos que habitam o país – como os descedentes de portugueses, africanos, ameríndios, etc. - contribuíram para a formação do Brasil

Abstract:

Depuis une vingtaine d'années, les fédérations sportives nationales, comme d'autres institutions, connaissent une remise en cause profonde de leurs conditions de fonctionnement : émergence d'une sphère professionnelle, évolution de la consommation des pratiques sportives, concurrence avec des organisations commerciales, évolution du rôle de la puissance publique, montée en puissance des contraintes réglementaires. Face à ces nouvelles variables d'environnement, les fédérations sportives nationales (fsn), organisations privées à but non lucratif assurant une mission de service public, développent des structures et des modes de management différents. L'objet de la thèse est précisément de décrire et d'analyser les pratiques de management mises en oeuvre. Pour assurer leur développement, les fsn doivent combiner des logiques de fonctionnement mixtes (associative/service public/commerciale) a priori contradictoires mais qui s'avèrent pourtant complémentaires (chapitre 1). La gestion des paradoxes découlant de la mixité des logiques d'intervention ne saurait éluder la question centrale en sciences de gestion de l'évaluation des performances. Une nouvelle approche de mesure de la performance, associant des indicateurs provenant de données qualitatives et quantitatives, est proposée permettant d'établir une typologie de six profils de performance de quarante fédérations unisport (chapitre 2). A la lumière de six études de cas de fédérations disposant de caractéristiques et de profils de performances différents, une analyse générale des comportements stratégiques et organisationnels des fsn est réalisée à partir des concepts de différenciation et d'intégration des théoriciens de l'école de la contingence structurelle p. Lawrence et j. Lorsch (chapitre 3). Des implications théoriques et managériales, et notamment un modèle de performance des fsn, sont proposées à la suite de la mise en relation des profils de performance dégagés et des comportements stratégiques et organisationnels observes (chapitre 4).

Abstract:

The significance of sport is now emerging as an important dimension of the broader scholarship that examines the social, cultural and political aspects of Scottish society. A prominent facet of this emerging body of literature has examined the multiple ways in which sport contributes to and is constitutive of Scottish nationalism and culture. This thesis builds upon previous studies of sport to examine the connections between shinty, nationalism and cultural identity. The rationale that underpins the thesis asserts that in order to understand more fully expressions of nationalism, it is necessary to examine the social and cultural forces that have contributed to different ideas about the nation in specific historical circumstances. At the heart of the thesis it is argued that the sport-nationalism-identity axis in Scotland has sought to assert different forms of autonomy. The concept of autonomy, articulated through civil society, provides an original conceptual framework for the critical analysis of shinty, nationalism and cultural identity between 1835 and 1939. The development of shinty during this period coincided with the emergence of a number of cultural and political movements that were par of a relatively autonomous Highland civil society, and which became the repository of a paricular strand of Celtic radicalism. A number of the leading proponents of Celtic radicalism were advocates of various aspects of Scottish nationalism that oscilated on the political landscape of Britain after 1886. Using a multi-methodological research approach, the thesis examines the extent to which the development of shinty intersected with key elements of Celtic radicalism and nationalism. It is concluded that shinty provided the terrain upon which paricular cultural identities could be ariculated, and was also a vehicle for paricular expressions of nationalism that reinforced different aspects of the autonomy of the Highlands within Scotland. This original and unique synthesis provided in this thesis makes a small contrbution to our understanding of sport in Scottish culture.

Abstract:

Cette recherche sur le Togo est une contribution à la problématique du développement sportif et ses enjeux dans les pays d’Afrique francophone. Elle s’inscrit dans une optique pluridisciplinaire et comparative axée sur les méthodes de géographie du sport. Elle procède également à relecture des marqueurs historiques du contexte togolais.Dès le début du XXe siècle, l’impact de trois dominations coloniales (allemande, anglaise et française) est à l’origine, de l’implantation et de la diffusion des pratiques sportives au Togo. Après 1960, année de l’indépendance, le développement sportif, en continuité avec le legs colonial français, est pris en charge par l’Etat et devient un outil de contrôle social au service d’un régime autoritaire de type militaire. L’analyse de l’état des lieux actuel du sport au Togo montre la centralisation de l’action de l’Etat sur le sport d’élite, le déploiement de différents marchés sportifs et l’apparition de différents phénomènes sociaux dont la réappropriation des pratiques sportives et l’entraide communautaire.La comparaison des processus de diffusion identifiés au Togo avec ceux à l’œuvre dans les anciennes colonies de l’Afrique Occidentale Française notamment le Bénin et le Sénégal permet de dégager de nouvelles perspectives : l’utilisation des activités physiques traditionnelles ou modernes pour la mobilisation sociale et l’entretien d’une élite sportive. Ces deux axes sont complémentaires et nécessaires à l’élaboration d’un développement sportif inscrit dans la durée
This research on Togo is aimed at contributing to the resolution of sports development problems and addressing its challenges in francophone African countries. The approach employed is multidisciplinary and comparative, based on the methods of sports geography. Moreover, it revisits key historical milestones in a Togolese context.Since the early twentieth century, the impact of three colonial dominations (German, English and French) was responsible for the origin, establishment and dissemination of sports in Togo. After 1960, the year of independence, sports development in continuity with the legacy of French colonial rule, was supported by the state and became a tool of social control by the authoritarian, military-style regime. The analysis of the current state of sports in Togo shows the centralization of state action on elite sports, the deployment of different sports markets and the emergence of different social phenomena such as appropriation and communal support.Comparison of the differences in methods of propagation identified in Togo and those at work in former West African French colonies such as Benin and Senegal exposes new opportunities: the use of physical activities, both traditional and modern for social mobilization and the maintenance of a sports elite. Both of which are complimentary and necessary for the development of sports for the long term

I den här uppsatsen har jag undersökt hur män och kvinnor framställs i bild och text i Aftonbladets rapportering från herrarnas fotbolls-VM i Tyskland 2006 och damernas fotbolls-VM i Kina 2007. Mitt syfte var att titta på hur konstrueringen av en nationell diskurs skiljer sig åt i texterna om dam- och herrfotboll, om det finns någon tydlig manlig och kvinnlig diskurs på bilderna, samt hur väl min undersökning stämmer in på beprövade genusteorier. För att kunna besvara mitt syfte använde jag mig av teorier om nationalism och genus. Som metodverktyg använde jag mig av kritisk diskursanalys samt semiotisk bildanalys. Det jag kom fram till i undersökningen var att den nationsuppbyggande processen var väldigt vanlig i de krönikor jag studerade från herr-VM 2006 men knappt närvarande i krönikorna från dam-VM 2007. Journalisterna väver; i krönikorna från herrarnas VM-slutspel, in läsarna i en föreställd nationell gemenskap. En gemenskap som reifieras genom betoningen av nationen som en kulturell gemenskap, med gemenskapsbildande traditioner, kulturella symboler, förenande metaforer samt en kategorisering av ett ”vi” i förhållande till ”dom andra”. I krönikorna och på de tillhörande bilderna från damernas VM-slutspel kan gemenskapen ses som mycket mer isolerad till spelarna och den närmaste kretsen kring damlandslaget. De manliga fotbollsspelarna var överlag oftare i rörelse och inbegripna i matchsituationer på bilderna, medan de kvinnliga fotbollsspelarna var mer passiva på bilderna. Det var också ett tydligare fokus på själva fansen i både texter och bilder från herrmästerskapet. Fans som tydligt beskrevs utifrån en manlig diskurs. Överlag stämmer många av mina genusteorier in på mitt material, och en hel del av innehållet går att skönja i krönikorna. Bland annat förekommer det marginaliseringar där damfotbollsspelare jämförs med herrfotbollsspelare i texterna och damfotbollen ifrågasätts tydligare när spelet inte är på topp.

Abstract:

Previous work found evidence that the racial composition of NBA teams was positively correlated with the racial composition of their metropolitan market areas during the 1990s. This paper finds continued evidence of this relationship in the 2000s, with an accompanying attendance boost from the incorporation of white players on teams located in whiter areas. There is also evidence that white players receive a salary premium relative to black players of equal performance quality. An examination of player performance indicates that demand for foreign players with the skill set of a forward or center is higher than demand for players of equal quality from the U.S. However, an analysis of salary discrimination related to foreign players produced no conclusive evidence.

Abstract:

Notre travail présente trois démarches originales d'implication psychologique auprès d'équipes nationales de water-polo. Nous privilégions une perspective systémique de la préparation psychologique et adoptons une attitude clinique pour comprendre chaque sujet, comme l'équipe, dans sa totalité, en situation, en évolution et en interaction. Notre méthodologie comporte une phase d'imprégnation et d'investigation, suivie d'une phase de restitution et de contribution à l'optimisation des performances des joueurs. Pour chacune de nos implications, nous exposons et discutons les résultats de notre investigation. Puis nous décrivons les stratégies mises en oeuvre auprès de chacune de ces équipes. Notre conclusion générale suggère des éléments d'une meta-analyse de l'intervention du psychologue auprès d'athlètes.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to analyse the process of South Korean nationalism and national identity construction through studying Chinese table tennis players that have become naturalised citizens of South Korea. Based on an Eliasian theoretical and methodological prospective, this research employs three different methods of analysis. First, it employs archival analysis in the historical context chapter to determine the origins of table tennis and its spread to Northeast Asia, the political and societal role of table tennis in China and South Korea, and the appearance of the first naturalised player in South Korea. Second, this study employs newspaper text analysis to investigate newspaper reports of the South Korean and Chinese table tennis matches from the 1988 Seoul Olympics Games to the 2012 Games in London. This section first examines the flow of Korean nationalism through the table tennis matches between Korea and China, and then explores how the newspaper reports expressed nationalism in regard to the Korean players and naturalised players. Third, this study employs an interview method to gather data from 17 interviewees who have been associated directly or indirectly associated with the Chinese naturalised table tennis players in order to further examine the process of the formation of South Korean national identity. The first analysis regarding historical findings identifies that table tennis has evolved precisely alongside Elias s sportisation theory. In South Korea and China, table tennis has played the role of a national sport. Especially in South Korea, table tennis was a nationalistic sport that opposed anti-colonialism and anti-communism. It was in table tennis that the first naturalised athlete in the history of South Korean sport was selected for the Olympics. In the second analysis, through examining news reports of the Olympic table tennis matches between China and South Korea, this research identifies that South Korean newspapers continue to generate a strong image of nationalism. Moreover, the newspaper reports do not use the same nationalistic sentiments and personal pronouns for South Korean players and naturalised players. Finally, the interview analysis investigates the formation of South Korean identity through the naturalised table tennis players in South Korea. Three national identities groups have arisen in South Korea in response to the emergence of naturalised athletes. The first group approves of globalisation and naturalisation. The second group opposes globalisation and naturalisation. The third group, which comprises the media, has no specific interest in globalisation and naturalisation, but has an identity that changes based on the interests of the media company. In other words, the evidence from the interviews carried out for this thesis shows that South Korean national identity in regard to naturalised athletes remains diversified and not unified.

Full text

Abstract:

Le nationalisme culturel inclut une dimension politique. Par son évocation d'une civilisation disparue, il favorise une prise de conscience de son identité particulière et conduit ainsi à la volonté de rassembler la communauté nationale sous la protection d'un Etat autonome. Cette prise de conscience ne va cependant pas de soi lorsque l'éveil culturel se limite à l'élite cultivée ; d' où l'intérêt de faire renaître d'anciens jeux traditionnels afin de mobiliser les masses et de susciter un sentiment national. A cet égard, la fondation de la Gaelic Athletic Association à la fin du 19ème siècle contribua sans aucun doute à la diffusion du nationalisme irlandais. Il apparaît malgré tout qu'elle ne pouvait échapper à l'influence des sports britanniques, alors en pleine expansion, le modèle même qu'elle était supposée rejeter. En dépit de l'origine ancestrale attribuée aux jeux traditionnels gaéliques, leur modernisation constituait une étape obligée si les leaders nationalistes voulaient assurer leur popularité et utiliser ainsi la GAA pour faire avancer leur cause. Mais pour que le mouvement nationaliste profite vraiment de cet atout, encore fallait-il que l'association sportive reste fidèle aux principes du nationalisme culturel, à l'abri des considérations de partis.

Abstract:

Ce travail a pour objet d'étudier les discours sportifs et leurs rapports avec la notion d'identité à partir d'un corpus médiatique réuni autour de deux événements : les derniers Jeux olympiques en France (Albertville 1992) et la dernière coupe du monde du XXe siècle (France 1998 et la victoire de l'équipe nationale). L'analyse est sémantique, syntaxique et argumentative puisque nous étudierons les phénomènes de constructions identitaires dans deux dimensions du dis- cours, le niveau syntagmatique et le niveau dialogique. L'étude des productions de noms de sportifs, associées à leurs potentielles appartenances multiples (clubs, ville, nation, etc.), révèle une forte application du schéma dialectique du Même et de l'Autre. Dans son "écriture", le sport est proche du genre aristotélicien de l'épidictique, mais ses glissements vers le délibératif sont fréquents dans les médias. La politique s'empare de plus en plus de ses spécificités (termino- logiques, syntaxiques, prosodiques, etc.). Nous mettrons en avant des problèmes de confusions entre des critères de catégorisations, en particulier : confusion entre ethnicité et nation. A l'is- sue de cette recherche, la nomination des sportifs nous fait apparaître combien les confusions identitaires existent, mais se jouent à seulement quelques détails du discours.

Abstract:

This thesis provides a detailed socio-historical analysis of the evolutionary process of traditional Japanese swordsmanship (kenjutsu) from the inception of distinct martial schools (bugei-ryuha) in the fourteenth century, to its gradual progression into a modern competitive sport (kendo), and a subject of study in the current Japanese education system. The following questions with regards to the development of Japanese swordsmanship were analysed: 1) How did schools dedicated to the study of martial arts (bugei-ryuha) evolve, and why was the sword so important to the early traditions? 2) What was the process in which kenjutsu become “civilised”, and how did it relate to class identity in the Tokugawa period (1600-1868)? 3) In what way did kenjutsu transmute when class distinctions and national isolationist policies (sakoku) were abolished in the Meiji period (1868–1912)? 4) What were the cultural and political influences in the rise of “state” and “popular” nationalism, and how did they affect the “re-invention” and manipulation of kendo in the first half of the twentieth century? 5) How did post-war private and national cultural policy affect the reinstatement of kendo and its usefulness in inculcating a sense of “Japaneseness”? 6) What are the nationalistic motivations, and perceived dangers of the international propagation of kendo with regards to cultural propriotership? Through applying socio-historical concepts such as Norbert Elias’s “civilising process” and Eric Hobsbawm’s “invention of tradition”, as well as various descriptions of nationalism to the evolution of kendo, this thesis demonstrates how the martial art has continued to maintain a connection with the past, while simultaneously developing into a symbolic and discursive form of traditional culture representing a “cultural ethos” considered to be a manifestation of “Japaneseness”. Ultimately, kendo can be described as a kind of participatory based mind-body Nihonjinron. Japan’s current reaction as it ponders the repercussions if it were to somehow lose its status as the suzerain nation of kendo, i.e. as exclusive owners of kendo - a martial art perceived as one of the most representative forms of traditional Japanese culture – is also assessed in this thesis.

Abstract:

Introduit à Taïwan durant la période japonaise (1895-1945), le baseball est associé au projet colonial japonais d'assimilation au tournant des années 1920. Il est ensuite instrumentalisé par le régime nationaliste chinois qui prend possession de l'île au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avant de s'y réfugier en 1949, bouté hors de Chine par les forces maoïstes. Inscrit dans le programme de culture physique du Kuomintang, il devient un lieu privilégié de la mobilisation nationale pour la reconquête du continent et de la construction d'un État-nation pluriethnique. Les enfants aborigènes sont plus spécifiquement incités à participer à des compétitions de baseball scolaire où ils sont censés représenter les valeurs morales exemplaires d'une société majoritairement han. Ils résident durant toute l'année au sein de dortoirs où ils construisent prioritairement leur identité autour de leur communauté de pratique. Ce mode de vie ascétique s'impose aux joueurs professionnels qui doivent gérer le rythme effréné des saisons. Ils sont concernés par les mêmes contraintes d'exemplarité mais se heurtent à une corruption endémique qui s'inscrit au sein de leurs réseaux d'interconnaissance. Les supporters, qui construisent leur appartenance à un club au travers des valeurs qu'ils représentent, doivent composer avec les scandales récurrents qui frappent leurs vedettes. Ils les soutiennent durant le match par la mise en œuvre d'une animation bruyante et bariolée. Le baseball se trouve ainsi au centre d'enjeux locaux et nationaux. Il s'inscrit dans la globalisation comme symbole de l'existence d'une nation taïwanaise, ou chinoise
Introduced in to Taiwan during the Japanese Period (1895-1945), baseball was associated with the Japanese colonial assimilation project at the start of the 1920s. It was subsequently exploited by the Chinese Nationalist regime which took possession of the island in the aftermath of World War II, before seeking refuge there in 1949 after being driven out of China by the Maoist forces. Incorporated into the program of physical culture of the Kuomintang, baseball has become a privileged place of national mobilization for the reconquest of the continent and the building of a multi-ethnic nation-state. Aboriginal children are particularly encouraged to participate in school baseball competitions during which they are supposed to represent the exemplary moral values of a predominantly Han society. Residing throughout the year in dormitories, their identity is constructed primarily around their community of practice. A similar ascetic lifestyle is required by professional players who must deal with the hectic pace of the seasons. Whilst affected by comparable constraints of exemplarity they also come against widespread corruption embedded within their social networks. Supporters, who construct a sense of belonging to their club based on the values they represent, have to deal with the recurring scandals affecting their stars whom they support during matches through exuberant and colourful performances. Baseball is thus at the center of local and national issues. It equally plays into debates on globalization, being a symbol of the existence of a Taiwanese, or Chinese, nation
