This dissertation studies the spread of sports for all in Sweden during the years 1945 to 1981.

In order to handle the diversities of activities that can fall within the concept of sport, two principal abstractions of the concept are used: one rigorous and one flexible.

This thesis presents an historical account of sport and stadia in the work of Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. It examines the theoretical and political frameworks around sport and stadia, beginning with his major urban plans Ville Contemporaine (1922), Plan Voisin (1925), and Ville Radieuse (1930), followed by his stadium proposals Stade de 100,000 Places (1936) and Stade de Baghdad (1956-73). It reveals the significance of sport in Le Corbusier's urban theories, as well as presenting a largely untold history of sport and stadia in Le Corbusier's body of work.

In this thesis, I discuss the constraints and mediations on political discourse in the Ethiopian Diaspora in North America. I use the amateur sports federation, the Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America (ESFNA) as a site for this analysis, looking both at the online media campaign carried out when a split occurred in the institution and its 2017 tournament. The sport’s federation is a space for the diaspora to unite and pass down the cultural forms that distinguish it to the next generation. I argue that the political discourse of the diaspora is constrained by how the diaspora continue

Abstract:

Na Grécia Antiga, a prática esportiva, mesmo antes de ser vista como objeto pedagógico, era uma forma de transmissão cultural, tinha caráter sagrado e buscava celebrar a honra dos deuses. Independentemente dos motivos da criação desses eventos ? os Jogos Públicos, certo era que predominava seu cunho religioso, e como tal, impunham a seus participantes uma série de normas a serem seguidas. Com o tempo, os Jogos de Olímpia passaram a ganhar maior importância até chegar ao ponto de ser o acontecimento central de toda a cultura grega, interrompiam-se as guerras e uma multidão se dirigia a Olímpia

Abstract:

Baseball has not always been identified as a man’s game despite the fact that its boosters began proclaiming it a “manly” pastime in antebellum America. This thesis reveals, for the first time, that baseball began as a gender-neutral sport. Countless girls and women across the country played the game in every decade of the nineteenth century that the game existed, organizing the same types of teams that boys and men did. The thesis explains how and why the gender-neutral game become so fiercely gendered as masculine and explains how this characterization persisted despite dramatic changes in g

Thesis (MScSportSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Today white South Africans take their sport very seriously and at the tum of the nineteenth century this was no different. The key difference however was that a war had erupted between the two Boer Republics (Orange Free State and the Transvaal) and Britain. The Anglo-Boer War of 1899-1902 was fought for the supremacy of South Africa at a time when sport was still developing within the country and like other facets of its culture, it too became entwined within a conflict that was to effect the whole future of Southe

Abstract:

History<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation is a history of the change in form and location of ballparks that explains why that change happened, when it did, and what this tells us about broader society, about hopes and fears, and about tastes and prejudices. It uses case studies of five important and trend-setting ballparks to understand what it meant to go to a major league game in the twentieth century. I examine the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium in the first half of the twentieth century, what I call the classic ballpark era, Dodger Stadium and the Astrodome from the 1950s through the 1980s, w

Abstract:

This study fills a critical gap in research on the immediate postwar history of Japanese American community culture in Los Angeles and South Bay. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute research and literature of the immediate postwar period between the late 1940s resettlement period and the 1960s. During the early to mid-1940s, Americans witnessed World War II and the unlawful incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans. In the 1960s, the Sansei (third generation) started to reshape the character and cultural expressions of Japanese American communities, including their development o
