Hot Bodies and Cooling Substances: Rituals of Sport in a Science City
In: Journal of sport and social issues: the official journal of Northeastern University's Center for the Study of Sport in Society, Band 23, Heft 1, S. 24-40
ISSN: 1552-7638
In the city of Bangalore, India, the main annual festival of the Karaga draws its ritual personnel from a network of wrestling houses, where concepts of the conservation and channeling of bodily fluids underlie training. These concepts are, in turn, linked to an older model of urban planning in which artificial water bodies and gardening were integral components of the built environment. As the city's population has grown and its economy shifted toward manufacturing and high technology, a different model of planning has slowly destroyed the older ecological system while inserting large sports complexes as important urban nodes. There is a simultaneous movement to link sports, beauty contests, and media as entertainment, with a concomitant redefinition of the body.
