Cultural Performance at the Olympic Games

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the relationship between nationalism and the Olympics by weaving together understandings of nationalism and applying them to displays of national identity at Olympic ceremonies from 1980 to 2006. Using historical revision, indoctrination, and custodianship, hosts of the Games have re-told official state identities and histories through performances.
