Körper: Kult(ur): Athletik: Ideal, 25 & 26 Sept. 2025, Uni. Graz (AT)

Publié le par

Dear Colleagues,

on 25 and 26 September 2025, the University of Graz will host a conference on the origins and reception of ancient athletic body images and the associated notions of normativity. Five international and multidisciplinary thematic sessions will deal with the ancient body and movement culture in its diverse cultural, religious, political, pedagogical and social meanings in different periods of time. In particular, the reception of body ideals with regard to the topic of diversity will take centre stage. The conference language is German.

Some particularly virulent questions will also be addressed in a public panel discussion (URBI Science Talk). Here, Martin Giese (sports pedagogy), Dennis Leiber (Ninja Warrior, teacher), Svetlana Moshkovich (Paralympian, two-time world champion, handbike) and students will discuss these issues. Participation in the Science Talk is free of charge.

Further information on the programme and registration can be found at https://antike-koerper-2025.uni-graz.at/de/

(Students and external doctoral candidates without employment have the option of a reduced participation fee).

We look forward to your participation!

German-Italian Sports Relationships event, 7 Oct 2023, Cologne (D)

On Saturday 7 October 2023, 12-1:30 PM, an event will take place on:

Italia-Germania in dieci istantanee. Storie di una relazione sportiva e sentimentale

Sport in den Beziehungen zwischen Italien und Deutschland

CESH members welcome!

Venue: Istituto Italiano di Cultura

Universitätsstrasse 81

50931 Köln (Germany)

German presentation: https://iiccolonia.esteri.it/de/gli_eventi/calendario/italien-deutschland-in-11-schnappschuessen-geschichten-einer-sportlichen-und-emotionalen-verbindung-%e2%94%82iic-koeln/

Italian presentation: https://iiccolonia.esteri.it/it/gli_eventi/calendario/italia-germania-in-undici-istantanee-storie-di-una-relazione-sportiva-e-sentimentale%e2%94%82iic-colonia/

L’Istituto italiano di cultura di Colonia in collaborazione con l’European Committee for Sports History, sabato 7 ottobre 2023, accoglierà undici dei maggiori studiosi di storia dello sport italiana, che in 90 minuti ripercorreranno le tappe più significative della relazione tra Italia e Germania. In ogni disciplina sportiva, la competizione tra questi due paesi ha assunto un valore importante sul piano diplomatico e su quello sentimentale, coinvolgendo non solo la classe politica, ma anche milioni di appassionati, i quali hanno visto in questi incontri un significato altro, volto a connaturare la propria dimensione identitaria nel segno della comune appartenenza all’Unione Europea. Per ognuno degli undici studiosi coinvolti, c’è stato un evento che meglio degli altri ha caratterizzato questo rapporto. Senza conoscere quale, secondo gli altri colleghi, sia stato tale avvenimento, questi dieci ricercatori si sfideranno, cercando di convincere il pubblico che l’episodio da loro raccontato sia l’icona reale della relazione sportiva tra i due paesi. Si assisterà, perciò, ad un “boxeo” storico-sportivo, che coinvolgerà il pubblico in un affascinante percorso a ritroso durante il quale verranno rievocati i più importanti momenti caratterizzanti le relazioni tra Italia e Germania, dando un importante contributo alla riflessione sul ruolo della cultura popolare nei rapporti tra le due nazioni.
