Sommario/riassunto |
|
Si le système sportif, qui est né en Angleterre au xixe siècle, a constitué une rupture radicale avec les pratiques athlétiques antérieures, sa diffusion aux quatre coins de la planète par l'intermédiaire de l'impérialisme anglo-saxon a fortement contribué à façonner le monde dans lequel nous vivons. Quelle est cette chose dont l'impérialisme anglo-saxon faisait tant de cas ? De quelles valeurs de « civilisation », de quels codes moraux était-elle porteuse ? Quel accueil a-t-elle reçu dans les pays qui subissaient la présence coloniale ? C'est à cet examen essentiel que nous invite le présent ouvrage pour apprécier les raisons des éventuels rejets, des réappropriations plus ou moins radicales, et |

plus généralement des engouements extraordinaires auxquels a donné lieu l'apparition du phénomène sportif dans des milieux culturels très différents de celui d'origine. Dans cette perspective, les apports respectifs de l'histoire événementielle et de l'anthropologie sont confrontés et discutés. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book treads new paths through the labyrinths of our human thought. It meanders through the darkness to encounter the monsters at the heart of the maze: Minotaurs, Centaurs, Automata, Makers, Humans. One part of our human thought emerges from classical Ionia and Greek civilisation more generally. We obsessively return to that thought, tread again its pathways, re-enact its stories, repeat its motifs and gestures. We return time and time again to construct and re-construct the beings which were part of its cosmology and mythology – stories enacted from a classical world which is itself at once imaginary and material. The “Never Never Lands” of the ancient world contain fabulous beasts and humans and landscapes of desire and violence. We |

encounter the rioting Centaurs there and never again cease to conjure them up time and time again through our history. The Centaur mythologies display a fascination with animals and what binds and divides human beings from them. The Centaur hints ultimately at the idea of the genesis of civilisation itself. The Labyrinth, constructed by Daedalus, is itself a prison and a way of thinking about making, designing, and human aspiration. Designed by humans it offers mysteries that would be repeated time and time again – a motif which is replicated through human history. Daedalus himself is an archetype for creation and mastery, the designer of artefacts and machines which would be the beginning of forays into the total domination of nature. Centaurs, Labyrinths, Automata offer clues to the origins and ultimately the futures of humanity and what might come after it. |
