Barbaric Sport: A Global Plague pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Marc Perelman pulls no punches in this succinct and searing broadside, assailing the ‘recent form of barbarism’ that is the global sporting event. Forget the Olympics and consider, under Perelman’s guidance, the ledger of inequities maintained by such supposedly harmless games.
They have provided a smokescreen for the forcible removal of ‘undesirables’; aided governments in the pursuit of racist agendas; affirmed the hypocrisy of drug-testing in an industry where doping is more an imperative than an aberration; and developed the pornographic hybrid that Perelman dubs ‘sporn’, a further twist in our corrupt obsession with the body.
Drawing examples from the modern history of the international sporting event, Perelman argues that today’s colosseums, upheld as examples of ‘health’, have become the steamroller for a decadent age fixated on competition, fame and elitism.
Marc Perelman is an architect and Professor of Aesthetics at the Université Paris Ouest-Nanterre La Défense. He is the author of numerous books, including L'Ère des stades: Genèse et structure d'unespace historique, Urbs ex machina, Le Corbusier and (with Jean-Marie Brohm) Le Football, une peste émotionnelle.
Maybe the book has some point, but to my ignorance I didn't get it. I find it hard for me to read and comprehend. Translation problem?
評分奧林匹剋憲章被譽為是人類的第二本聖經。無數人無止境地斷章取義地引用裏麵的有的沒的的句子。與Holy Bible不同的是,這本聖經,在世界範圍來說,真正從頭讀到尾的人都不多。更諷刺的是,違反這部憲章精神的運動,就是顧拜旦推崇的現代奧林匹剋運動會。當然,根據作者的思路,還包括其他的大型比賽,如世界杯,洲際杯,國內聯賽等等。推薦這本書給希望換一個角度看世事的朋友閱讀。如果作者的觀點和你相左,切記保持不怒。世界就是如此多姿多彩。
