Die Verfasserin schildert die Disziplin 'Sportgeschichte' als ein Produkt des Kalten Krieges und analysiert die institutionelle Entwicklung der Disziplin seit der deutschen Wiedervereinigung. Im Mittelpunkt der Darstellung stehen die Aktivitäten des Sportwissenschaftlichen Instituts der Universität Potsdam, dessen Schwerpunkt die Forschung und Lehre über den Sport in beiden deutschen Diktaturen ist. Die Verfasserin argumentiert, dass auch im Sport die 'Zeitgeschichte' eine 'Streitgeschichte' ist, wodurch die Fortführung der akademischen Forschung auf diesem Gebiet begründet wird. Abschließend werden Publikationen zum Thema zusammengestellt.

UID/PAM/00417/2019 PTDC/ART-HIS/29837/2017 ; Portuguese art history experienced remarkable development after World War II, especially with the work of José-Augusto França, who was responsible for establishing a historiographic canon for nineteenth- and twentieth-century Portuguese art that still endures. José-Augusto França developed a narrative that held Paris up as an artistic and cultural role model in relation to which he diagnosed a permanent delay in Portuguese art. This essay analyses França's idea of belatedness in the context of Portuguese art historiography and political history and how it is part of a genealogy of intellectual thought produced in an imperial context, revisiting previous art historians and important authors, such as Antero de Quental and António Sérgio. Moreover, it aims to address how the concept of belatedness was associated with the idea of "civilisation" and the idea of "art as civilisation." Belatedness also has implications in the constraints and specificities of writing a master narrative in a peripheral country – a need particularly felt in the second half of the twentieth century, to mark a political standpoint against the dictatorship that ruled from 1926 to 1974. Part of the reaction to fascism expressed the desire to follow other nations' democratic example, but the self-deprecating judgements on Portuguese art were frequently associated with the identification of essentialist motifs – the "nature" of the Portuguese people, their way of thinking, of living, their lack of capacities or skills – and of a self-image of being "primitive" in comparison with other European countries that has antecedents going back to the eighteenth century. I will address the nostalgia for the empire and the prevailing notion of belatedness throughout the twentieth century regarding unsolved issues with that nostalgia. ; publishersversion ; published

This theoretical work explores the meanings of leisure in the context of social and cultural formations of our time as well as works of art which portray leisure activities in their narrative. The work is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the idea of social leisure and its stages throughout the history. The second part analyses the concept of leisure in art and is represented in five chapters: pleasure meaning in leisure activity, casual leisure, gender and leisure experience, ethnicity and leisure experience and virtual leisure. This part concentrates more on leisure portrayal in art and discusses artist's relation to cultural leisure experience. The purpose of this work was to find out how different cultural, ethnical and political society tradicions influence leisure activity and how artists represent that heritage in their artwork. The work also addresses the virtual reality aspect and new technological side of contemporary art. The theoretical work comes to the conclusion that the socio-cultural aspects of living society have a main input in formatting leisure based activities and influence art, especially which portrays leisure experience. This observation also showed that artists either represent the individual metaphysical relation to ethnical society or criticize the global consumer culture in their leisure narrative based works. When portraying leisure activities, artists are influenced by their own experience which is formed by ethnical and cultural identity.

Iran's public sphere has been segregated along gender lines since the Islamic Revolutionin 1979 and is regularly policed by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. Thisarticle considers the ways in which the resulting homosocial spaces appear in the worksof contemporary artists working in Tehran. Looking at video and photographic worksby three Iranian artists, I argue that contemporary art is hyper aware of being undersurveillance and addresses itself to multiple viewers. I bring queer viewing strategiesas a method of viewing these artworks in order to point to the continuum betweenhomosocial and homoerotic spaces that permeate contemporary Iranian art.

Taking a new approach to a relatively underexplored area, this book examines the concept of authenticity and its relevance to marketing management. The author draws on several disciplines, including arts, philosophy, sociology and psychology, as well as focusing on important sub-fields within the field of marketing such as consumer behaviour and tourism. Presenting data from interviews with managers and consumers, and summarising and critiquing recent developments within the field, From Arts to Marketing is a timely and much-needed addition to literature and will be useful to those researching consumer behaviour, brand management and marketing more generally.
