Facial Recognition Technology, Surveillance, and the Transformations of the Crowd in the Sports Stadium
Facial recognition technology and other forms of surveillance are now ubiquitous in sports stadiums. These technologies not only affect individual privacy and anonymity but also fundamentally transform the nature of the crowd itself. Their deployment is often the consequence of past acts of violence at stadiums or of the perceived threat of future disorder. While legal concerns surrounding the use of such technologies—particularly in sports stadi…
Knowledge and the Picturesque
This essay looks at the West's engagement with Syria in the eighteenth century, through the writings of travellers and through the history of the publications they brought back from their travels. It argues that these publications provoked a rethinking of various tropes in the description of the Levant, helping to define attitudes to ruins as well as providing a model for thinking about the customs of the inhabitants of that part of the world. It…
Quarrelling
This chapters looks at satire in the context of quarrelling. While a number of satires originate in quarrels, they can also become interventions in ongoing disputes, to the point of ending them. This chapter does not attempt to provide a historical overview of the numerous quarrels in which satires were involved, nor does it examine the infinite variety of satirical texts involved in quarrels: lampoons, libels, etc. Rather, this chapter attempts …
Sporting Cultures, 1650–1850
In the eighteenth century sport as we know it emerged as a definable social activity. Hunting and other country sports became the source of significant innovations in visual art; racing and boxing generated important subcultures; and sport's impact on good health permeated medical, historical, and philosophical writings. Sporting Cultures, 1650-1850 is a collection of essays that charts important developments in the study of sport in the eighteen…
Sporting Cultures, 1650-1850
The Art(s) of Boxing
Boxing and the arts have a long and intertwined history. In depictions of sport in literature and the visual arts, boxing has played central role. Boxing has served to enable the development of literary and artistic concerns. Boxing has been an especially fruitful subject in cinema, and different cinematic genres have appropriated the sport in order to develop their insights, in particular comedy and film noir. Rather than considering boxing film…
The Arts of Competitive Tennis
This essay analyses the uses of competitive tennis in literature and the arts. While analyses have mainly focused on the social dimension of tennis, not enough attention has been paid to tennis as a competitive sport. In order to fill this gap, this essay offers an analysis of the competitive dimension of tennis. It looks first at the different social issues that may arise from a consideration of the sport from this angle, in particular race and …
The Language of Quarrels
This essay proposes to analyse the mechanisms of quarrels from a theoretical perspective largely informed by linguistics, and more specifically, by pragmatics. It connects with some of Jean-Jacques Lecercle's argument in the current issue, but takes the analysis in different directions. Looking at a number of examples of quarrels, this paper purports to identify the different participants and parameters in the development of a quarrel. These incl…

Comment termine-t-on les querelles? à propos du duel
Cet article examine le duel à l'époque moderne (XVIe- XVIIIesiècles, jusqu'au début du XIXesiècle) entendu à la fois comme la forme suprême de la querelle, son aboutissement naturel sous certaines conditions, alors qu'il est lui-même objet de controverses vives. Le duel, qui repose sur des lois, réglemente le dissensus en même temps qu'il le porte à son paroxysme. Il peut servir de révélateur de la place du dissensus dans la société, de la façon …
The Seductions of Modern Tennis
This article investigates the cultural articulations between real and lawn tennis, starting from the invention of the game of lawn tennis in the late nineteenth century and looking at the negotiations which surrounded its birth. It analyses the seductions of the game through a focus on art and discourses around the game, in particular literary discourse. The first part analyses the ‘invention’ of the game and in particular the components of the s…

Running for Freedom
This essay analyses the uses of running in contemporary fiction. It addresses the question of the literariness of running, and the ways in which literature enables us to articulate aspects of the sport such as its heroism or its relationship to the nation. It looks at a number of fictional texts, and focuses largely on two important works, ‘The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner’, Sillitoe's celebrated novella of 1958, and Jean Echenoz's nove…
The networks of quarrels
Cet article analyse les modes de circulation des querelles au travers de l’exemple de Peter Anthony Motteux, plus connu de nos jours pour ses traductions de Rabelais en anglais, mais qui fut aussi dramaturge et fondateur du premier périodique en langue anglaise ainsi que commerçant en diverses denrées. Il offre une étude de cas intéressante pour une analyse des disputes : d’une part, il se trouva directement impliqué dans la controverse sur le th…
Heroes, Fans and the Nation
This paper argues that the football trope in literary fiction enables the writer to explore the workings of modernity. In doing so, writers define a place for the reader, which is parallel to the spectator's at a football match. If football may be seen as a form central to our thinking about modernity, the decentring of the analysis brings to light different, splintered, modernities. This study concentrates on English football, as well as on the …

The Fictions of (English) Cricket
This paper examines the fictional representations of cricket and argues that they contribute to a definition of the game. It examines the fictions of cricket, showing that they construct the game into a most distinct English fiction. Literary treatment of cricket must further be read in the context of the transformations of the game in the nineteenth century, with the rise of athleticism as an ideology, and its role in the training of the colonia…
Mais qui donc a gagné les élections britanniques
Après treize années de New Labour , la Grande-Bretagne tourne le dos aux travaillistes mais voit s'installer un gouvernement de coalition (conservateurs, libéraux démocrates) dont l'avenir est incertain. Une coalition est-elle compatible avec les institutions britanniques, où la part de l'implicite est grande, en l'absence de constitution écrite ? Vernon Bodganor, un des meilleurs spécialistes de la vie politique outre-Manche, pense, à l'encontre…

D’Othello à Otello
Ce texte est celui d’une conférence prononcée devant des amateurs d’opéra. Il explore les adaptations de l’Othello de Shakespeare pour la scène lyrique. Il retrace l’histoire du mythe shakespearien, envisage l’échec dramatique (mais le succès considérable de l’Otello de Rossini) et s’attarde sur la composition de l’Otello de Verdi. Il s’interroge enfin sur l’étrangeté du personnage principal qui donne toute sa force continuée au mythe

Tony Blair après les élections locales. Le début de la fin
Cette étude d’un détail – le changement de datation de l’« avis au lecteur » des Essais – illustre la manière et le style d’Arasse. Le projet de Montaigne est de « se peindre » lui-même. Mais quel sens faut-il accorder à cette référence picturale et plastique dans la description réflexive de l’écriture
