摘要

长期以来,身体健康一直是美国文化关注的焦点。在这一领域最有影响力的出版物之一是《体育文化》。1899年,自称“健身大师”的企业家贝尔纳·麦克法登创立了这家公司,一直经营到1961年左右。麦克法登并没有发明“体育文化”这个词,而是从一种先前存在的趋势中挪用了它,这种趋势把健康和健康看得高于一切。该杂志展示了其撰稿人所认为的“健康”:锻炼、疾病预防、卫生、身体对称和均衡饮食。《体育文化》早期的许多文章都是观点文章,通过引用心理学、颅相学和生物学领域的研究来声称自己是权威的。作者声称知道增加大脑体积和输出、“至高”身体控制和治疗的秘密。他们向读者展示了承诺完美身体健康、优化神经功能和社会优越感的公式。这本杂志的中心前提很简单。健身是每个人都可以使用的工具,没有借口不改善你的健康。麦克法登在他现在著名的格言中总结了这一点,并大胆地印在了杂志的封面上:“软弱是一种犯罪。”不要做罪犯!“如果我们从音乐学的角度来阅读《体育文化》会怎么样?”音乐学家已经知道,音乐是离不开的

Music, Movement Culture, and the Politics of Bodily Health
Physical fitness has long been a central preoccupation within American culture. One of the most influential publications in this area was Physical Culture. It was founded by entrepreneur and selfproclaimed “fitness guru” Bernarr Macfadden in 1899 and ran until about 1961. Macfadden did not invent the term “physical culture” but rather appropriated it from a preexisting trend that glorified health and wellness above all else. The magazine presented what its contributors felt constituted “sound health”: exercise, disease prevention, hygiene, bodily symmetry, and a balanced diet. Many of the articles in early issues of Physical Culture were opinion pieces that claimed authority by citing research in the fields of psychology, phrenology, and biology. Authors professed to know the secrets to increasing brain size and output, “supreme” bodily control, and healing. They presented readers with formulas that promised perfect physical fitness, optimized neurological function, and social superiority. The magazine’s central premise was simple. Fitness was a tool available to everyone, and there were no excuses for not improving your health. Macfadden summarized it in his nowfamous dictum that he boldly printed on the magazine’s cover: “WEAKNESS IS A CRIME. DON’T BE A CRIMINAL!”1 What if we were to read Physical Culture from a musicological perspective? Musicologists already know that music is inseparable from
