講座簡介
Guest Seminar
體育賽事是一種以身體為媒介，向公眾呈現主流文化價值觀的文化表演。這種表演表達了一種對世界的整體取向，而這一取向通過學校的體育教育和專門的運動訓練融入到我們的身體中，通過日常練習習慣深入强化，由潛在的符號邏輯組織起來。由於性別是身體的核心特徵，體育運動也展現了重要的性別理想和規範。因此，在歷史上，體育運動領域一直是關於應當公開展示什麽樣的性別身體的衝突場所。
大多數現代奧林匹克運動項目是19世紀在西方發明的，并於20世紀傳入中國。因此，體育運動為比較西方性別化的身體與中國傳統視域下的身體，以及考察中國身體性別化如何隨著其進入國際社會而變化提供了一種視角。回顧過去一百年來中國的體育身體文化，我們提出以下研究問題：中國和西方在文化上是否變得越來越相似？這對21世紀文化差異的未來意味著什麽？
Sports events are a kind of cultural performance in which dominant cultural values are displayed to a public audience through the medium of the body. The performance expresses an entire orientation to the world, which is trained into the body through physical education in the schools and specialized sports training, reinforced by the habits of daily practice, and organized by an underlying symbolic logic. Since gender is a central feature of the body, sports also display important gender ideals and norms. Thus, sports have historically served as a site for conflicts over what kind of gendered body should be publicly displayed.
Most modern Olympic sports were invented in the West in the 19th century and imported into China over the 20th century. Thus, sports provide a lens for contrasting the Western gendered body with the traditional Chinese body, and for examining how the Chinese gendered body has changed with China’s entry into the international community. Reviewing the culture of the sporting body in China over the last one hundred years raises the question of whether China and the West have become culturally more similar, and what this means for the future of cultural differences in the 21st century.
