This article seeks to understand how the Cultural Analytics’ methodological approach and computational tools help interpret large image datasets. A set of 87 730 images of 389 Olympic athletes was collected from Instagram and analyzed, featuring a timespan from September 2011 to November 2020. The image set was structured and organized using computer vision processing combined with interactive visualization tools (Google Vision, PixPlot, Image Network Plotter). The analysis, mixing quantitative and qualitative methods, identified patterns represented as image clusters. Regular personal computers served as the hardware platform. Approximately 60 % of the athletes’ posts were related to non-sports topics, highlighting common characteristics of the visual culture disseminated on Instagram, such as selfies, lifestyle, leisure, travel, and food. Images of sports content, considered a central aspect of the research, had a lower frequency of publications featuring topics such as competitions, training, exercises, and sports practices in general. Beyond this result, the study offers a possible technical framework for similar researchers using large image datasets.

The European Capital of Culture (ECoC) is a well-known and long-standing European policy that annually awards the title of Capital to two or more cities that deliver cultural initiatives throughout one year of celebrations. The programme has been hosted by over 60 cities throughout Europe during the last 35 years. Some host cities have used the ECoC to develop large projects that contribute to urban rebranding and regeneration (e.g. the facilities on the new waterfront of Marseille, made for the 2013 ECoC) and, more frequently, projects that adapt existing facilities and places, or smaller scale and less spectacular interventions in the city fabric. As a wide variety of differing cities have hosted the event, the ECoC has contributed to urban transformations at different scales, often with particular reference to historic and heritage-rich settings, but also brings about long-term effects in terms of cultural facilities and venues, tourism appeal and even the intangible heritage narratives attached to places. Drawing on the HOMEE Research Project and on recent publications by the authors, this paper discusses the range of large-to-small-scale planning, the (re)generation of cultural facilities and places in historic cities and heritage-rich areas to accommodate cultural mega-events and the effects they have on host cities over time. In the conclusions, the paper expands beyond the ECoC (in the direction of sport mega-events) to consider and highlight forthcoming challenges for urban policy-making and the planning of mega-events in Europe.

- Abstract
In the world of top-level sport, optimising athletic performance does not rely solely on physical training. Taking into account the intestine-brain axis offers new ways of optimising sports preparation, partly thanks to the role of the intestinal microbiota on performance and well-being., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Urban violence exacerbates existing trends of inefficient urban planning and social fracture. On the one hand, some actors instrumentalize violence to legitimate aggressive security plans and, on the other hand, discourses that depict specific urban territories as territories of violence and others as ordered spaces polarize citizens in two groups, as if each was irreconcilable, and circulate an atmosphere of generalized anxiety. Getting ready for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics has implied numerous and regular surges of violence for the Cidade Maravilhosa. If those events activated debates about public security in Rio de Janeiro and in Brazil in general, another event, this one cultural, has also created a debate on the same issues. The two movies Tropa de Elite (2007) and Tropa de Elite 2 (2010) by director José Padilha, not only were the most popular movies of Brazilian cinema but also occupied a great deal of the news. Rapidly, the line between the discourse circulated about the violence in Rio and the discourse about the movies was blurred. My paper seeks to explore how Tropa de Elite 1 and 2 produced and circulated a specific conception of place, violence and the city. My intention is, thus, not to consider movies as an object giving a more or less accurate representation of reality, but as set of relations that together create specific subjectivities and, ultimately, territorial representations. These representations will be looked at in the context of the preparation for the 2016 Olympics.

In February 2014, Russia will host the Olympic Games for only the second time in its history. Once again, the Olympic spirit—as defined and espoused by the International Olympic Committee—will clash with the political interests that overshadow the Games. This paper examines the political undertones of the 1980 Summer Olympics, hosted by Moscow and which took place during an ice-cold period of the Cold War, and asks whether similar undertones will be on display next year. The 1980 Games were a phenomenal success for Soviet athletes and their Eastern European colleagues. However, in the absence of the United States and more than 50 other nations, the political frame from a Western context was that of athletes from a corrupt system competing alongside their comrades. The boycott of these Games demonstrated the power of the White House and the often lapdog quality of the American media. Now as the Games return to Russia, the issue of whether a Cold War-like mentality will influence U.S. media reporting of the 2014 Sochi Olympics must be asked. The conflicting images in Western news media discourse of Russian president Vladimir Putin and his “Communist past” combined with a tepid diplomatic relationship between his government and the Obama administration provide evidence that a negative portrayal of Russia and therefore its athletes will be displayed in February 2014. And yet there is no impetus for a boycott next year. This paper explores why.

Résumé : Le podium du 200 mètres masculin des Jeux olympiques de Mexico (1968) est l’une des images les plus célèbres du xxe siècle. Tommie Smith et John Carlos lèvent le poing pour protester contre la condition faite aux Noirs aux États-Unis. L’article se propose d’évoquer les origines militantes de ce geste. Il résulte d’un processus de politisation contestataire qui prend naissance sur le campus de San Jose State College (Californie), dans le contexte d’un mouvement étudiant dynamique à l’échelle du pays, et du succès rencontré par le mouvement du Black Power. La « révolte de l’athlète noir » se transfère bientôt de la scène universitaire à la scène olympique, ce qui provoque un élargissement des enjeux de la lutte. Le geste de Smith et Carlos se révèle être l’aboutissement inattendu d’une mobilisation qui semblait en perte de vitesse. Il suscite à l’époque des réactions contrastées, mais fait aujourd’hui l’objet d’une large reconnaissance. Abstract: One of the most famous images of the 20th century is that of the men’s 200-meter podium at the Mexico Olympics (1968). Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists to protest against the condition of Blacks in the United States. This article aims to evoke the militant origins of this gesture, the result of a dissenting politicization process that began on the university campus of San Jose State College, in the context of student unrest across the country and the success of the Black Power movement. The “revolt of the Black athlete” soon transferred from the university scene to the Olympic scene, which increased the stakes in the struggle. Smith and Carlos’s gesture turned out to be the unexpected outcome of a mobilization that seemed to be losing momentum. At the time, it provoked contrasting reactions, but today it is still widely recognized.

In this paper we will introduce the concept of Urban Food Strategies (UFSs) and describe the specific case of the city of London, the first European municipality to develop a governance experiment specifically on food. In particular, we will discuss the positioning of the London Food Strategy (LFS) within the alternative idea of urban development strategies and the mainstream, neoliberal entrepreneurial model by way of discourse analysis. This paper questions the nature of the LFS in relation to the introduction of the sustainable development dogma in London urban governance from the early 2000s to the recent 2012 Summer Olympics, declared as the “greenest games ever”. By way of conclusion, we will argue that alternative projects are not free of neoliberal influences, and even if they are, they will likely be the subject of strategic manipulation to counter balance other reckless institutional entrepreneurial projects.

The intricate links between the Olympics and urban change have been theorised in diverse ways in critical urban studies, including readings of Olympic city-making in terms of enforcement of neoliberal entrepreneurial governance, gentrification through large-scale redevelopment projects, reproduction of growth-machine politics, and acquisition of symbolic capital through city branding politics. Following these points, we reflect in this paper on how the Olympics exacerbate wider trends in urban political economy under contemporary capitalism in the case of Rio 2016. We attempt to do so by turning to David Harvey’s (2003) conceptualisation of accumulation by dispossession. Our hypothesis is that this concept holds a sizeable heuristic value for making sense of the not-so-exceptional character of Olympic city-making in the present configuration of capitalism. Our findings confirm the relevance of Harvey’s elaboration on the empirical ground of sport mega-events but also outline limitations.

Taiwan is a historically disputed territory, colonized by different regimes since the 17th century. After the Second World War in 1945, Taiwan was dominated by the KMT (Kuomintang, the Chinese Nationalist Party). In the history of Taiwan's sport, Taiwanese athletes have been excluded from international sport because of political issue between two Chinas. The origins of the development of women’s sports in Taiwan can also be seen as the product of political factors, which replace the absence of male athletes in the international field in the1960s and 1970s. This research will enter the history of women’s elite sport from the first appearance of sportswomen on the world stage, which is also the period that the republican China in Taiwan loses gradually its allies and its seat in the international field. We want to discover the development of sport for women in Taiwan, and try to reveal what role they have played, how political events have influenced the development of sport and women's sport in particular, how women’s sport have influenced politics and Taiwanese society, and how these sports women are described and represented in the press, Taïwan est un territoire historiquement contesté, colonisé par différents régimes depuis le 17ème siècle. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale en 1945, Taïwan est dominé sous le KMT (Kuomintang, le Parti nationaliste chinois). Au cours de l'histoire du sport de Taïwan, les athlètes taïwanais ont été exclus du sport international à cause de facteurs politiques entre les deux Chines. Les origines du développement des sportives taïwanaises peuvent également être considérées comme le produit de facteur politique, pour remplacer l'absence des sportifs taïwanais dans l'arène international pendant les années 1960 et 1970. Cette recherche va entrer dans l'histoire du sport féminin d'élite à partir de l'apparition de la première sportive sur la scène mondiale, c'est aussi la période durant laquelle la Chine république à Taïwan, perd peu à peu ses alliés et son siège dans le domaine international. Nous voulons faire savoir le dévéloppement du sport de haut niveau pour les femmes à Taïwan, et essayons de dévoiler quel rôle elles ont joué, comment les événements politiques ont influencé le développement du sport et le sport féminin en particulier, comment les sportives ont pu influencer la politique et la société taïwanaise, et comment elles sont décrites et représentées dans la presse

Panhellenic and Symbouleutic Speeches: from Gorgias and Lysias’ Olympic Orations to Isocrates’ Panegyric Between the end of the fifth century and the beginning of the fourth in Greece, beside traditional forms of deliberative speech delivered by orators before the demos, new practices, associated with new spaces, were emerging. Thus, Gorgias, then Lysias produced an Olympic Speech, and Isocrates a Panegyric for various Olympic festivals. In this paper, I intend to examine the continuity and difference between the first two discourses, those of Gorgias and Lysias, and that of Isocrates, and to show the deep novelty of the latter, exhibited through the title (Panegyric, not Olympic) which inaugurates a new form of deliberative speech, named after Isocrates’ work, ‘panegyric’., Entre la fin du Ve siècle et le début du IVe en Grèce, à côté des formes traditionnelles de discours de conseil pratiquées par les orateurs devant le dèmos, apparaissent des formes nouvelles, liées à des espaces nouveaux. C’est ainsi que Gorgias, puis Lysias composent chacun un Discours Olympique, puis Isocrate un Panégyrique, à l’occasion de différentes panégyries olympiques. Dans cette étude, nous nous proposons de montrer la continuité et la différence entre les deux premiers discours de Gorgias et de Lysias et celui d’Isocrate, ainsi que la profonde nouveauté de ce dernier, qui se manifeste d’abord dans le titre (Panégyrique et non Olympique) et qui inaugure une nouvelle forme de discours de conseil, auquel on donnera ensuite le nom de “panégyrique”., Noël Marie-Pierre.

Dans Ghost Milk, publié en 2011, à la veille de la célébration des jeux olympiques à Londres, Iain Sinclair s’élève contre le spectacle consensuel, pour défendre la friche post-industrielle et les quartiers sacrifiés pour construire les superstructures du stade, parkings, voie rapide et centre commercial. Pour Sinclair, les jeux sont un mirage, un peu comme les explorateurs jadis cherchèrent de l’or ou le mythique passage du Nord Ouest. À cette logique du grand spectacle, des ruines à venir, Sinclair oppose la dérive psychogéographique, à la fois marche dans la ville et parcours textuel juxtaposant les départs et errances. Le livre resémiotise les métaphores de passage et de glace, pour dénoncer la pollution industrielle. Si le passage se fait, avec la Chine, c’est pour exprimer le dissensus. L’image des statues d’Antony Gormley sur la plage, sentinelles des éléments et de l’horizon, vient s’opposer aux édifices liés aux jeux olympiques. In Ghost Milk, published on the eve of the London Olympics in 2011, Iain Sinclair goes against public consensus to defend the post-industrial East-End, sacrificed to build computer-engineered olympic superstructures such as the huge stadium, highway and shopping mall. For Sinclair, the olympics are nothing but a mirage, a dream of gold medals that harks back to explorers’ journeys and the quest for the fabled Northwest Passage. In keeping with psychogeography’s fight against the society of the spectacle, Sinclair opts for drift, wandering through the vanishing landscape and cityscape. The book moulds itself into a kind of passage, switching from walk to walk, relying upon underlying metaphors of gold and ice. Ghost Milk offers a passage to polluted modernity, pointing out ironic parallels with China. The image of Antony Gormley’s statues on the beach probes into the horizon of space and time, as the book edges its way away from consensus seeking to express what Rancière calls dissensus.

International audience; Cynisca may be considered a perfect example of the new values, no longer tied up with the thinking of Lycurgus, that came to prevail in the imperial Sparta ruled over by her brother, Agesilaus II. Owner of a personal patrimony, Cynisca invested her wealth in breeding excellent racehorses that allowed her to become the first woman to win at the Olympics. The instrumentalization of her two victories and the sumptuous offerings that she made in the panhellenic sanctuary, as well as those in Sparta, reveal Cynisca´s determination to make her mark on a Lacedemonian society that, in the end, heroizes her and raises her up as a model for young Spartiate girls.; Cynisca représente l’exemple parfait des nouvelles valeurs, nullement conformes à la pensée de Lycurgue, en vogue dans la Sparte impériale que régissait son frère Agésilas II. Propriétaire d’un patrimoine personnel, Cynisca a investi sa richesse dans l’élevage d’excellents chevaux de course qui lui ont permis de devenir la première femme à obtenir la victoire lors des jeux olympiques. L’instrumentalisation de ses deux victoires et les somptueuses offrandes qu’elle a dédiées tant dans le sanctuaire panhellénique que dans ceux de sa propre cité révèlent la volonté de Cynisca de marquer de son empreinte une société lacédémonienne qui a fini par l’héroïser et l’ériger en modèle pour les jeunes filles spartiates.

Beyond the international sporting event they represent, Olympic Games are also a real catalyst for urban change they cause or accelerating. Indeed, they can be seen as an organizational tool, development and equipment of the host cities who have to service all Games a range of sports facilities , transport , accommodation ... that support the effective course of the global event . 2004 marks the return of the Olympic Games on the territory where they were born ; Athens hosted the first games of the third millennium . However, the Greek capital is a framework especially since this ancient city , archaeological and architectural history so rich, is also recent capital and the diachronic proves difficult to manage from the point of view of its planning and organization . She never had a real scheme land that is respected. But hosting the Olympic Games, and requirements related to them in terms of territorial equipment constitutes an ultimatum agglomeration must solve urban problems it faces, especially since his spectacular began in the late 60s development. The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the impacts of the 2004 Olympics on the organization and development of the Athenian territory , the balance between urban project and the Olympic project and thus advance the understanding of the relationship " cities and Olympics " and more generally between "sport and space.", Au-delà de l'évènement sportif international qu'ils représentent, les Jeux olympiques constituent aussi un véritable catalyseur des mutations urbaines qu'ils provoquent ou accélèrent. En effet, ils peuvent être perçus comme un outil d'organisation, d'aménagement et d'équipement des villes hôtes qui doivent mettre au service des Jeux toute une série d'infrastructures sportives, de transport, d'hébergement... qui assureront le bon déroulement de la manifestation mondiale. 2004 marque le retour des Jeux olympiques sur le territoire qui les a vu naître ; Athènes accueille les premiers Jeux du troisième millénaire. Or, la capitale grecque constitue un cadre particulier car cette cité millénaire, au passé archéologique et architectural si riche, est aussi une capitale récente et cette diachronie se révèle difficile à gérer du point de vue de son aménagement et de son organisation. Elle n'a jamais connu de véritable schéma d'aménagement du territoire qui soit respecté. Mais, l'accueil des Jeux olympiques, et les impératifs qui leurs sont liés en terme d'équipement territorial, constitue un ultimatum pour l'agglomération qui doit résoudre les problèmes urbanistiques auxquels elle est confrontée, notamment depuis son spectaculaire développement débuté à la fin des années 60. L'objectif de cette thèse est donc d'évaluer les impacts des Jeux olympiques de 2004 sur l'organisation et l'aménagement du territoire athénien, l'adéquation entre projet urbain et projet olympique et d'avancer ainsi dans la connaissance de la relation "villes et Jeux olympiques " et plus globalement entre " sport et espace ".

Trans athletes’ participation in the Olympic Games may seem recent in the media and social landscape. Contrary to this view, this article proposes to delve into the erased history of a century of trans presence at the Olympics. Our analysis rests on a corpus of 231 articles from the French mainstream, sports and LGBTI press, published between 1935 and 2022. The results demonstrate the presence of a gender panic, periodized in four key periods: 1) the beginnings of a gender panic (1935-2002), 2) amplification of an essentialist perspective (2003-2015), 3) gendered differentiation of the contemporary gender panic (2015-2020), 4) media explosion since the Tokyo Games (2021-2022). This research thus contributes to understanding the role of cissexism in maintaining the gendered order within Olympism.

Tennessee State University in Nashville, a historically black university, was one of the first to establish a competitive women’s athletics program in the 1940s. From the 1952 Olympics to the 1984 games, this program produced forty Olympic athletes, including three-time gold medalist Wilma Rudolph (1960). Under the management of coach Ed Temple, a strategy of combining athletic performance with conformity to middle-class femininity was implemented. This strategy of legitimation was intended to counter the stereotypes surrounding women’s competitive athletics, which were accused of producing masculine-looking bodies and compromising women’s reproductive capacity. The aim here is to analyze the logics at work in the construction of a “good” femininity, recognized by society and the media, at the cost of multiple constraints. We will also consider the context of the Cold War, which fostered competition between rival models of femininity.

This article aims to present, cartographically and textually, aspects related to the Summer Olympic Games (Tokyo 2020), seen from a geographical and, to a certain extent, geopolitical perspective (see the participation of the "3 Chinas", which drew attention to economic, diplomatic and national disputes at stake).We highlight and problematize certain aspects that are subject to regional analysis and that go beyond the limits of sports and may easily go unnoticed by a large part of the public who attended the mega-event.The proposal aimed to give equal emphasis (equal weights) to the cartographic visual language and the textual analytical language. We use two basic sources of information: the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). We analyse the performance of each country (delegations) in terms of 1) the overall score obtained; 2) comparison with its previous performance (Rio 2016); 3) relationship between the number of medals and the number of athletes sent; 4) relationship between the number of medals and the total population and 5) relationship between obtaining Olympic points and the respective HDI (Human Development Index).We conclude that access to the greatest material (and immaterial) wealth in dispute, symbolized by the Olympic gold medal, is spatially distributed across the globe in concentrated (Map 1), hermetic (Map 2), competitive (Map 4), unequal (Map 5) and unfair (Map 6) ways.
