ABSTRACT In the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century, when the Republic was established in Brazil, capoeira in Rio de Janeiro underwent a transformation process. A marginalised and criminalised practice sought to assume a more regulated format. This article used newspapers published in the city of Rio de Janeiro between the years 1901–1919 to analyse this process of change. The documents provide evidence that, in general, the press of the then-Brazilian capital condemned capoeira. However, some editorial lines started to value the technical aspects of capoeira, its educational role, its importance as a sport, and its relevance as a genuinely Brazilian element. In conclusion, despite having different editorial lines, especially after the First World War, the article points out that newspapers began treating capoeira as a national sport and an essential educational means.

ABSTRACT This paper will explore the place of women’s experiences within the collections held by the recently redeveloped R&A World Golf Museum in St Andrews [The R&A World Golf Museum is aligned with The R&A, golf’s governing body (outwith USA and Mexico)]. It will explore how women have been traditionally represented in the galleries and in academic research, highlighting the gaps that existed in our understanding of women’s experiences at a grassroots level within clubs in Scotland. The paper will discuss how the new museum galleries have started to address some of these absences and how they will be further addressed through an AHRC Collaborative PhD Studentship undertaken by Lauren Beatty. It will discuss in brief how and why oral histories have formed the main methodology for this study, and what the longer-term plans are for the use of these testimonies within the Museum in relation to education and outreach work. In doing so, the paper will demonstrate the value of combining both academic research and museum public engagement work.
摘要本文将探讨女性体验在圣安德鲁斯最近重建的R&A世界高尔夫博物馆(R&A World Golf Museum)收藏的藏品中的地位。它将探讨女性在画廊和学术研究中的传统代表性,强调我们对苏格兰俱乐部基层女性经历的理解存在的差距。这篇论文将讨论新的博物馆画廊是如何开始解决其中一些缺席问题的,以及如何通过Lauren Beatty开展的AHRC合作博士生项目来进一步解决这些问题。它将简要讨论口述历史是如何以及为什么成为这项研究的主要方法的,以及在博物馆内使用这些证词进行教育和外联工作的长期计划是什么。通过这样做,本文将展示学术研究与博物馆公众参与工作相结合的价值。

ABSTRACT Studies on spectatorship, are acknowledged to be difficult and consequently more scholarship on the subject generally, and on golf galleries specifically, is required. This article examines aspects of spectatorship in golf tourism and the visitor experience at The Open Championships and other major golfing events held in Kent during the end of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries. Explicitly, it aims to discover who attended these events, charting the scale, composition, experiences, behaviours and instances of patriotic pride and passion displayed by the crowds. Finally, it will reveal how some elements in the Scottish press initially interpreted this in relation to Scotland’s historic ownership of golf in general and The Open in particular. The paper recognises how events attracted significant if contested, numbers of passive golf tourists. It confirms that the galleries fully engaged with the players, enthusiastically cheering on their local favourites and international superstars alike. Furthermore, the conduct of the Kent crowd was deemed, by the press, to be superior to those attending the other Open venues. A further theme was the defensive national and regional pride or snobbery that was associated with hosting The Open Championship, particularly before World War One.

ABSTRACT In July 1965, members of the Permanent Committee for the First African Games, from diverse backgrounds, met in Congo Brazzaville three days before the games and discussed the formation of a supranational sport organisation in the continent. The Supreme Council for Sport in Africa (SCSA) was formally constituted in Bamako as a voluntary sport organisation in 1966. In 1977, it assumed the status of an agency of the Organisation of African Unity, until its dissolution in 2013. The SCSA is best remembered for its fight against discrimination in sport; instigation of boycott threats and the boycott of the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, and serving as the main host of the African Games. Based on hermeneutic enquiry, this research analysed archive materials from the International Olympic Committee Historical Archive and the SCSA in Africa Archive to establish a better understanding and interpretation of the internal and external divisions in which the SCSA operated. The historical enquiry provided evidence that, though the SCSA was not founded as a supranational governmental agency in sport, lack of a clear-cut vision and Africa’s political, economic and social realities hampered its efforts to effectively coordinate the development of sport in the continent.

ABSTRACT On 8 April 1920, the first sports editorial cartoon by teenager Jack Nicolle appeared in Health & Strength magazine. The series of illustrations in the world’s oldest physical culture periodical captured the absurdity of ‘circus lifts’ performed at a recent W.A. Pullum lifting exhibition. The piece ignited a torrid eleven-month run of insightful, humorous, and bitingly satirical commentary often directed towards leaders of the British strength community.
