| In this course we draw out the relations between the ancient and the modern manifestations of the Olympic idea in the institution of the Olympic Games. We examine the nature, the origin and the context of the ancient Games and compare our findings to the revival of the Olympic idea in the late nineteenth century. We inquire into the cultural politics involved in the modern Olympic movement, taking as our main example the city of Athens, the site of the first modern Games in 1896 and the imminent Games in 2004. During the spring recess all registered students will take a group study visit to Greece, a required component of the course. |
