Sport and Political Doctrine in a Post-Ideological Age
Is the familiar left–right bipolar model of the ideological spectrum still relevant to political interpretations of national sports policies in the post-Communist age? This chapter describes what some may regard as a “post-ideological,” namely, post–Cold War, political world in which governments around the world offer political rationales for the instrumental use of sport. This chapter argues that there is a political doctrine governing the profe…
Why Bioethics Has a Race Problem
In the September‐October 2001 issue of the Hastings Center Report, editor Gregory Kaebnick encouraged bioethicists to turn their attention toward “easily overlooked, relatively little‐talked‐about societal topics” such as race. In 2000 the president of the American Society for Bioethics had called for a more socially conscious bioethics. Race was risky territory, Kaebnick pointed out, but this challenge did not justify avoidance. Over the next fi…
Routledge Handbook of Drugs and Sport
Doping has become one of the most important and high-profile issues in contemporary sport. Shocking cases such as that of Lance Armstrong and the US Postal cycling team have exposed the complicated relationships between athletes, teams, physicians, sports governing bodies, drugs providers, and judicial systems, all locked in a constant struggle for competitive advantage. The Routledge Handbook of Drugs and Sport is simply the most comprehensive a…
Physicians and the Sports Doping Epidemic
After 25 years of nonstop doping scandals involving elite athletes such as cyclists and sprinters, the major role physicians have played in these doping cultures has received much less attention than it deserves, and especially in medical circles. Physician involvement in these illicit, and often medically dangerous, practices will seem counterintuitive to those who associate physicians with the task of healing and the injunction to do no harm. T…
The Myth of the Nazi Steroid
The myth of the 'Nazi steroid' has persisted over the past four decades in the absence of any reliable evidence to support it. This essay traces the myth back to a short article that appeared in the respectable American journal Science. Our examination of the paper trail suggests that the myth was started by a rumour that the Science journalist converted into a hypothesis. Two factors account for the impressive career of this fantasy. First, it i…
Neil Carter, Medicine, Sport and the Body
In Medicine, Sport and the Body, Neil Carter demonstrates that the history of sports medicine can be narrated as large-scale social history in a productive and interesting way. The author's strategy is to show how the growth of sports medicine over the past century has led to its occupying significant roles in a variety of important social venues and policies. The book's narrative methodology can be described as a sequence of expanding and concen…
Examining Tuskegee
Drug Games
On August 26, 1960, twenty-three-year-old Danish cyclist Knud Jensen, competing in that year's Rome Olympic Games, suddenly fell from his bike and fractured his skull. His death hours later led to rumors that performance-enhancing drugs were in his system. Though certainly not the first instance of doping in the Olympic Games, Jensen's death serves as the starting point for Thomas M. Hunt's thoroughly researched, chronological history of the mode…
Medical Racism and the Rhetoric of Exculpation
Over the course of the past two decades, the medical literature has published many peer-reviewed studies pointing to racially differential diagnosis and treatment by American physicians. These publications eventually produced an official report by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (Unequal Treatment, 2003) that confirmed the existence of widespread racial health disparities. Yet the detection and prevention of racially motivated…
Amphetamine and the Four-Minute Mile
In June 1957 an American public health physician told his audience at a medical conference in New York that a stimulant drug such as amphetamine (‘Benzedrine’) might have enabled athletes to run the mile in less than four minutes, a feat first achieved in 1954 by Roger Bannister, who stated in 1957 that he had never heard of the use of stimulants by runners. The initial wave of denials and protests by athletes and sports officials was followed by…

Sport and Social Change
In the decade following the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, the People’s Republic of China has experienced a cultural and ideological transformation unprecedented in the history of communist societies. Sport, like the arts, is a political subculture that expresses prevailing ideological trends; for this reason, the new modernization in China has mandated a new ideological interpretation of sport. Contrary to appearances, the ideological content of M…

Dossier on Heimat
Miriam Hansen, Karsten Witte, J. Hoberman, Thomas Elsaesser, Gertrud Koch, Friedrich P. Kahlenberg, Klaus Kreimeier, , Dossier on Heimat, New German Critique, No. 36, Special Issue on Heimat (Autumn, 1985), pp. 3-24
Sport and Political Ideology
Across the modern political spectrum, left-wing and right-wing political theorists have invested sport with ideological significance. That significance, however, varies distinctively and characteristically with the ideology—a phenomenon John Hoberman terms "ideological differentiation." Taking this phenomenon as its point of departure, this provocative work interprets the major sport ideologies of the twentieth century as distinct expressions of …
A Context for Vivienne Dick
The films of Vivienne Dick are part of recent developments within a mode of artisanal production that of 8mm and super-8 which has exemplary status for the avant-garde. The relative inexpensiveness, accessibility, and convenience of narrow-gauge filmmaking make it the most genuinely democratic form of production. Its history and development are, however, still very much a subject for further research. The first 8mm cameras were placed on the mark…

The Theatre of Jack Smith
From the mid-1960's on, Jack Smith—best-known as the director of Flaming Creatures (1962-63), a key work In the American avant-garde film—has astonished New York audiences with a series of highly influential performance pieces. Although Smith's theatre, which is even more fugitive and underground than his film production, has attracted little critical writing, it has made itself felt in the work of artists as otherwise disparate as Ronald Tavel, …
