Book Description
Cette petite encyclopédie pas comme les autres fait revivre les sports et autres passe-temps les plus étonnants, les plus dangereux ou tout simplement les plus absurdes que l'homme ait jamais inventés (et abandonnés). Il faudrait être fou pour remettre au goût du jour le combat de pieuvres, pourtant si populaire au XVIIIe siècle... Sans parler de la boxe avec feux d'artifice, du lancer de serpillière ou du ballet à ski et son grand écart... Un regard nouveau sur l'ingéniosité, la folie et la bravoure de nos ancêtres !

A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Enlightenment
Author: Rebekka von Mallinckrodt
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350283053
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Enlightenment covers the period 1650 to 1800, a period often seen as a time of decline in sporting practice and literature. In fact, a rich sporting culture existed and sports were practised by both men and women at all levels of society. The Enlightenment called into question many of the earlier notions of religion, gender, and rank which had previously shaped sporting activities and also initiated the commercialization, professionalization and associativity which were to define modern sport. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Sport presents the first comprehensive history from classical antiquity to today, covering all forms and aspects of sport and its ever-changing social, cultural, political, and economic context and impact. The themes covered in each volume are the purpose of sport; sporting time and sporting space; products, training and technology; rules and order; conflict and accommodation; inclusion, exclusion and segregation; minds, bodies and identities; representation. Rebekka von Mallinckrodt is Professor at the University of Bremen, Germany. Volume 4 in the Cultural History of Sport set General Editors: Wray Vamplew, Mark Dyreson, and John McClelland

Philosophy of Globalization
Author: Concha Roldán
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110492415
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
Not so long ago, it seemed the intellectual positions on globalization were clear, with advocates and opponents making their respective cases in decidedly contrasting terms. Recently, however, the fronts have shifted dramatically. The aim of this publication is to contribute philosophical depth to the debates on globalization conducted within various academic fields – principally by working out its normative dimensions. The interdisciplinary nature of this book’s contributors also serves to scientifically ground the ethical-philosophical discourse on global responsibility. Though by no means exhaustive, the expansive scope of the works herein encompasses such other topics as the altering consciousness of space and time, and the phenomenon of globalization as a discourse, as an ideology and as a symbolic form.
