Hyperstructure, hierarchy and humanitas in Olympic ritual
The Olympic victory ceremony is a globally familiar and highly stable ritual form of the world system of nation states. In this article, the medal ceremony is placed within the overarching Olympic ritual process, and its evocative power is attributed to its symbolic treatment of the relationship between Individual, National and Human identities in modern worlds. The ritual asserts and performs the compatibility of these identities in the face of …

At the College, they have become embodied in educational program…
The Ethnographic Imperative in Comparative Olympic Research
Ethnographic method in social science research has commonly been portrayed as imposing a dilemma between values of scale and values of context. In comparative sport studies today—with their emphasis on multinational organizations, state-level agencies, commercial and media conglomerates, and mass publics of interpreting consumers as the most visible social actors—little place has been found for the practices of extended participant observation.

L'experiència dels darrers vint anys

Les cerimònies olímpiques són un escenari privilegiat per analitzar els processos d'intercanvi cultural que es donen a nivell internacional. En aquest sentit, l'autor elabora un model comparatiu que permet analitzar les diferències culturals que apareixen en ambdues celebracions olímpiques. …
