Civil Wars and the Dialectic of Humanitarianism, 1914–1949
This response to Robert Gerwarth and Gwendal Piégais’s special issue on humanitarianism and civil wars in Europe has three parts. First, it aims to situate the authors’ findings in the broader context of what might be termed the ‘dialectic of humanitarianism’ – namely the reciprocal tendency of the violence of war, and notably civil war, and the mobilisation of humanitarian aid for its victims, to reinforce each other. Second, it considers in mor…
Sports Mega-Events in Asia
Introduction to the Special Issue
In the span of four years from 2018 to 2022, three consecutive Olympic Games were held in East Asia – namely PyeongChang 2018 in South Korea, Tokyo 2020 in Japan and Beijing 2022 in China. Given the geographic concentration of global multi-sports mega-events in the Far East, this period has been referred to as the ‘East Asian era' of the Olympic Games. This introduction to the special issue outlines two major themes of the changes during the East…
Sports Mega-Events in Asia
Sports mega-events and cosmopolitan nationalism
Sports mega-events, like the Rugby World Cup, are often considered as a major platform for the celebration and reinforcement of nationalism. However, there is an emerging strand of research which contends that the host nations are increasingly presenting themselves with diverse, inclusive and cosmopolitan characteristics and, in turn, forms of nationalism have undergone some noticeable changes in more recent times. In this paper, we pursue an arg…
The Power of Death
The social and cultural changes of the last century have transformed death from an everyday fact to something hidden from view. Shifting between the practical and the theoretical, the professional and the intimate, the real and the fictitious, this collection of essays explores the continued power of death over our lives. It examines the idea and experience of death from an interdisciplinary perspective, including studies of changing burial custo…

Mobile Mega-Event Expertise in an “East Asian Era”
An “East Asian Era” is unfolding in the hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and other sports, and nonsports, mega-events. In addition to three editions of the Olympics and Paralympics, several other not as large mega-events have been or are set to be staged in East Asia over the next 5 years. How long the interest in hosting sports mega-events will continue and, if it does, who will be involved in the production of these events are the qu…
Le Moment Nuremberg
Turning-point or dead end? Success or failure? Interest in the International Military Tribunal (IMT) which tried twenty-two leading Nazis at Nuremberg from October 1945 to October 1946 shows no sign of abating. This is because the IMT’s significance can be read in different contexts—the end of the Second World War, the de-Nazification of Germany, the development of international law, the history of penal proceedings and the stigmatisation of the …
Understanding the Olympics
How did the Olympics evolve into a multi-national phenomenon? How can the Olympics help us to understand the relationship between sport and society? What will be the impact and legacy of the Olympics after Tokyo in 2020? Understanding the Olympics answers all these questions by exploring the social, cultural, political, historical, and economic context of the Games. This thoroughly revised and updated edition discusses recent attempts at future p…

Benjamin Ziemann. Violence and the German Soldier in the Great War
Historians have only placed violence at the heart of the history of World War I in the last thirty years, especially as they have focused on ordinary soldiers. Benjamin Ziemann is a distinguished contributor to this field, with earlier books on soldiers from rural Bavaria and veterans who supported the Weimar Republic. He develops both these strands in Violence and the German Soldier in the Great War: Killing, Dying, Surviving, a study of what vi…
A Colonial Expedition? French Soldiers’ Experience at the Dardanelles
As many French soldiers as ANZACs fought at Gallipoli. Their preconceptions had more to do with colonial campaigning than with the dominant French experience of the Great War — mass mobilisation to defend the nation on home territory. Moreover, a significant proportion of the troops at the Dardanelles were colonial. Yet the French soldiers discovered at Gallipoli a 'front' that was part of the mutual siege that ringed Europe and that bore more th…
Sports Stadia
The sociology of sports stadia has been developed by those interested in: (1) production, asking questions about who is producing these places and why; (2) consumption, exploring how sports audiences, or fans, use them; and (3) interpretation, such as the meanings sports stadia hold for the people who use them
End of a Paradigm? The Cultural History of the Great War
Cultural history has dominated the study of the Great War for 25 years. Since all intellectual paradigms have a life-cycle, it seems important to ask whether this one can still innovate. Cultural history has achieved much. It has shown how the war was represented (by artists and intellectuals, ideologies and ‘war cultures’). It has gone further by making the recovery of the experiences of the war the core of its agenda. Cultural historians have r…

Understanding the denial of abuses of human rights connected to sports mega-events
Academics debate the positive and negative consequences of hosting sports mega-events, and although there is a general recognition that doing so cannot be a panacea for solving other social issues, who wins and who loses tends to be the same. This article considers why mega-events are not more regularly resisted given the routinization of harm to local populations that they tend to invoke. The article illustrates the difficulties in exposing, con…
Ian Kershaw. To Hell and Back
Hell is more than a metaphor in To Hell and Back: Europe, 1914–1949, the first of two volumes by Ian Kershaw on the history of twentieth-century Europe. Soldiers experienced “four years of hell” in the First World War (62). “Appeasement” was the proverbial “road to hell paved with good intentions” down which Adolf Hitler brilliantly outsmarted his democratic opponents (295). “Hell on Earth” is the title of the chapter on the Second World War, whe…

The Four ‘Knowns’ of Sports Mega‐Events
This article uses a piece of writing in The Guardian newspaper by the philosopher Slavoj Zizek (’The empty wheelbarrow’, 19 February, p. 23, 2005) about the former US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, as a framework by which to reflect critically on major international sporting events, or sports mega‐events. It suggests that it is an academic’s duty to look critically at the assumptions, beliefs and misrepresentations that are often suppressed,…
Accounting for Mega-Events
The 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan was the first football World Cup Finals ever to take place in Asia and be co-hosted by two countries. Drawing on data provided by the national and local organizing committees, football's world governing institution, local and international media accounts and first-hand observations made before, during and after the event, the article discusses the contrast between discourses that forecast and described the actu…
Alterglobalization, Global Social Movements, and the Possibility of Political Transformation through Sport
Alterglobalization is the name for a large spectrum of global social movements that present themselves as supporting new forms of globalization, urging that values of democracy, justice, environmental protection, and human rights be put ahead of purely economic concerns. This article develops a framework for the study of the influence of alterglobalization on sport by: outlining a periodization of social movements and sport; proposing a typology …
Sustainable Development, Shock and Awe? London 2012 and Civil Society
There is a disconnection between the top-down, elite, nature of sports mega-events and the ostensible redistributive and participatory sustainable development agendas staked out by BINGOs (Business-based International Non-Governmental Organizations) such as the contemporary International Olympic Committee (IOC). Focusing specifically on the London 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games, we argue that, for all the environmental technology advanc…
Assessing the sociology of sport
On the 50th anniversary of the ISSA and IRSS, one of the leading international scholars on sport and consumer culture, John Horne, considers the trajectory and challenges of research on sports mega-events and their place in capitalist modernity. In anchoring work on this topic in Roche's definition of mega-events, Horne notes that sports mega-events are important symbolic, economic, and political elements in the orientation of nations to stake th…

Fanzines'- magazines produced by fans for fans on photocopiers or small presses and circulated by other means than through mainstream commercial channels - provide an alternative to the products of mass publishing and the mass entertainment industry, although often in 'dialogue' with these. In England fanzines - like Sniffin' Glue or When Saturday Comes- have proliferated over the last fifteen years or so, dealing especially with rock and pop mus…
Underestimated Costs and Overestimated Benefits? Comparing the Outcomes of Sports Mega-Events in Canada and Japan

The Print Media Coverage of Skiing and Snowboarding in Britain
Content analyses of sport in the media have primarily focused on mainstream sports or major sporting events, and few have looked at winter sports or studied the print media in Britain. This article seeks to address this gap by examining the British print media portrayal of athletes representing Snowsport GB—the national governing body for skiing and snowboarding—in the season 2004—2005. Concentrating on themes common to other media content analys…

Playing the Post‐Fordist Game in/to the Far East
This essay explores the global dimensions, national aspirations, and local preconditions of the rise of football in China, Japan and Korea. The burgeoning popularity of football in the world’s most vital growth region (in terms of production and consumption power) indicates both the successful integration of the ‘football periphery’ into global commodity markets, as well as changing relations of consumption in areas where football previously was …

Immigrant Workers in France during World War I
Immigration has been central to the creation of the working class in many western European societies, albeit not on a scale comparable to the United States of America. Nowhere was this truer for the period of the wind of industrialization, from the mid-1890s to the Depression, than in France, where low natural population growth and a large, stable peasantry reluctant to leave the land caused acute labor shortages in industry and in commercialized…
Capitalizing on sport’
This paper draws on a research study into the existence and use of different forms of capital – including social, cultural and physical capital – in three independent schools in Scotland. We were interested in understanding how these forms of capital work to produce and reproduce advantage and privilege. Analysis is framed by a multiple capitals approach drawing on and developing the work of Putnam and especially Bourdieu. We suggest that sport p…
Understanding Sport and Body Culture in Japan
This article argues that the recent growth of interest in the body in Western social science has been largely based on Western assumptions of social development. In particular, studies of sport and body culture more generally have either ignored non-Western societies, such as Japan, or sustained stereotypical views of Japanese culture. As a small amount of research being developed by anthropologists suggests, the study of sport and body culture i…
The Politics of Sport and Leisure in Japan
This paper was partly stimulated by a dissatisfaction with the recent debates about sport and globalization. It is also meant as a contribution to comparative and political sociology, in which Japan has never fitted particularly well. Rather than seeing the growth of modern sport and leisure in Japan as the product of an unfolding process of diffusion and emulation, attention will be focused on the forms of resistance that have accompanied its de…

Moving with the Bat and the Ball
Since the early 1990S there has been increased research interest in the migration of athletic talent, or sports labour. Until recently, however, academic interest in sports labour migration from and between east Asian countries has been limited. This article considers the recent migration patterns of Japanese professional baseball players. Focusing particularly on the past decade, some key trends in the migration of Japanese baseball players are …
Kiching Racism Out of Soccer in England and Scotland
This article focuses attention on an ongoing antiracism campaign in association football (soccer) launched in England and Wales in the fall of 1993 and subsequently in Scotland in January 1994. The 'Let's Kick Racism out of Football' (LKROOF) campaign is the product of the London-based 'race' equality organization, the Commission for Racial Equality, working in conjunction with the football associations of England, Wales, and Scotland.

France and the Great War on Its Centenary
As France embarked on the centenary of the Great War in 2014, the last poilu had already passed away. Lazare Ponticelli, an Italian immigrant who fought in both the French and Italian armies, was buried with full state honors in 2010. Aside from those with a childhood memory of the conflict, the living links had gone and the war was a purely historical episode. Yet the sense of popular engagement with it was if anything greater and more varied th…

The Figurational Sociology of Sport and Leisure of Elias and Dunning and Its Alternatives
Figurational sociology with its analytical tool the social “figuration” and its focus on the “socio-genetic” study of the transformation of culture and manners—the “civilizing process”—has made an important contribution to the sociology of sport and leisure. For all its strengths however questions can be raised about the approach: about the empirical and theoretical adequacy of its central concept, the “civilizing process”, and about the Figurati…

General Sports Magazines and “Cap’n Bob”
This paper directs attention to a sector of the press that is largely ignored by academic media research: weekly and monthly sports magazines. The birth and death of the British general sports magazine, Sportsweek , is considered as a case study from which some critical observations can be made about research into sport and the mass media on both sides of the Atlantic. The magazine industry as a whole is little discussed in mainstream media studi…

State, Society and Mobilization in Europe during the First World War
This volume examines political and cultural mobilisation in the face of industrialised mass death during the First World War. Comparing Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary, it generates arguments on mobilisation and 'total war' which have wider relevance. It explores 'national ideals' which cast the war as a crusade, the inclusive 'self-mobilisation' of sectional identities and private organisations behind national efforts, and th…
