Critical Perspectives on Esports
The role of women in Esports has been discussed in recent years regarding their underrepresentation (e.g. Darvin et al., 2021), consumption and involvement in different games (e.g. Yu et al., 2022), and their experiences in the industry (e.g. Rogstad, 2021). On the contrary, gender studies in music count with literature ranging from diverse genres and history periods (e.g. Hawkins, 2020). Nevertheless, the convergence of both industries has not y…
Between Pints and Performances
German immigrants to the United States in the late 1840s faced isolation and a cultural vacuum. Pockets of community could be found in the traditional German turnvereins (gymnastic clubs or societies) that offered the new German immigrants a warm but culturally insulated haven. The work of George Brosius, one of the leading gymnastic instructors in the American turner movement and director of the Turner's Normal School in Milwaukee, rarely discus…

‘Discipline Your Ladies … So They Become Independent’
The Black Forest is considered to be the cradle of skiing in Germany. In 2016, the 125th anniversary of the beginning of skiing in the Black Forest is being celebrated. Over the decades, skiing developed into a very popular sport for men and women in Germany and spread to the Alps. Presently, the German Ski Federation (Deutscher Skiverband, DSV) has over 500,000 members, about 40% being women. This paper will concentrate on the first decades of w…
From Being Excluded to Becoming World Champions
At the 2015 Women’s Football World Championships in Canada, 24 national teams participated, among them eight female national coaches. Four years earlier, during the 2011 World Cup in Germany, six of the 16 national teams, of the teams had a female coach, and at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio there were four female national coaches of 12 teams. Roughly said, about one third of the coaches in the major tournaments were females. Germany has a long …

Between Traditions and New Challenges
In 1989, the International Society of the History of Physical Education (ISHPES) was founded as a merger of the International Committee for the History of Physical Education and Sport (ICOSH) and the International Association for the History of Physical Education (HISPA). In 2014, ISHPES will celebrate its 25th birthday. While at the beginning it was a very Eurocentric organisation, it is nowadays very international as seen in the countries from …

Bringing the Alps to the City’
There is a close link between urbanisation and the rise of sports. However, one usually does not associate winter sports with cities. By the late 1880s winter sports, especially skiing, had become popular in European and American mountain regions. During that time some winter sports activities were introduced, mainly for entertainment, to urban areas. The big ice palaces in Russia and North America, where ice skating events were the main focus, a…
The ‘Floating Baroness’ and the ‘Queen of the Skis’
Recently women's ski jumping has attracted public attention because a group of female jumpers went to court to fight the IOC decision to exclude them from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. After almost nine months in court the jumpers lost their case, and maybe their story will disappear into nowhere again.1 1. For more detailed information see Hofmann et al., ‘Dear Dr. Rogge’, and Vertinsky et al., ‘Skierinas in the Olympics’. Especial…

From Jahn to Lincoln
To demonstrate solidarity and common goals among its members in the nineteenth century the German Turner movement was full of symbols, starting from the Turners' clothing, logos and flags, as well as language, exercises and festivities. This paper not only pursues the question what symbols are, but will elaborate on how symbols can change in a different cultural setting and over time. As an example, the American Turner movement is taken. When tra…

Between Ethnic Separation and Assimilation
Historically, much of nineteenth and early twentieth century American sport was ‘ethnic based’. Theoretical thoughts on ethnicity and assimilation will be introduced, along with a brief overview of the limited research on ethnic sports of the European-American population. This article addresses the German-American sporting experience. Due to its success during its first decades of existence, the Turner movement receives detailed attention before …
Americanization as the end of an ethnic sport organization? The American Turners at the close of the 1990s
The American sociologist Richard D. Alba argues that the ethnicity of White Americans is in the midst of a transformation. Ethnic distinctions based on a specific European ancestry are fading into the background. This paper will take up Alba’s argument and transfer it to the German-American Turner movement, which has an over 150-year history. In the nineteenth century, the Turnvereine were nurseries of ethnicity which offered a certain economic a…

The Schäferlauf is one of the oldest rural festivities in the southern German state of Württemberg. It has its origin in a race across a stubble field. Shepherds and shepherdesses have to run barefooted 300 ‘steps’, or approximately 200 metres. Both winners get crowned for a year as king or queen of the Schäferlauf. The main focus of this article is to elaborate on the gradual integration of females in this rural festivity. Since the 1650s women …
