Book Synopsis A Cultural History of the 1984 Winter Olympics by : Zlatko Jovanovic
Download or read book A Cultural History of the 1984 Winter Olympics written by Zlatko Jovanovic and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympic Games. It tells the story of the extensive infrastructural transformation of the city and its changing global image in relation to hosting of the Games. Reviewing different cultural representations of Sarajevo in the period from the 1960s to the 1980s, the book explores how the promotion of the city as a future global tourist centre resulted in an increased awareness among its populace of the city’s cultural particularities. The analysis reveals how the process of modernisation relating to hosting of the Olympics provided an opportunity to re-imagine the city as a particularly environmentally progressive city. Placed within the field of studies of late socialism, the book offers important insights into Yugoslav society during the period, including those relating to the country’s unique geopolitical position and its nationalities policies.

Book excerpt: To most observers, the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, were an unmitigated success. That year, the unlikeliest of candidate cities in the unlikeliest of candidate countries did what many had thought impossible: it hosted an international sports competition at the highest level, housing and feeding hundreds of athletes and thousands of tourists while broadcasting a positive image of socialist Yugoslavia to the world. The first Winter Games held in a communist country, Sarajevo also marked the first Olympic confrontation of Soviet and American athletes since the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Summer Games. And the competitions themselves were spectacular and memorable. This was the Olympics of British ice dancers Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, American skiers "Wild Bill" Johnson and Debbie Armstrong, and East German skaters Katarina Witt and Karin Enke, not to mention a Soviet hockey team that rebounded from its stunning loss to the Americans at Lake Placid four years earlier to win all seven of its matches. Yet The Sarajevo Olympics is more than just a history of sport. Jason Vuic also retraces the history of the Olympic movement, analyzes the inner workings of the International Olympic Committee during the troubled 1970s and 1980s, and places the 1984 Winter Games in the context of Cold War geopolitics. The book begins and ends by reminding readers that less than a decade after it hosted the Olympics, the Bosnian city of Sarajevo found itself at the vortex of a bloody and brutal civil war that would end with the dissolution of the multiethnic Yugoslavian state.

Download or read book From Olympics to War written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the case of the 1984 Sarajevo Olympic Winter Games, the legacy evokes sentiments that range from hopefulness to dejection, playfulness to anxiety, since what was to follow only 8 years after this mega event was the most violent destruction of any city in modern European history. Using sentiment and data analysis the research analyses existing international academic discourse on the mentioned topics and questions their impact on the city identity. The results of the analysis show the almost identical ratio between Olympic Games and war identity, with slightly higher association with Olympic Games identity. Occurrence and bigram analysis confirm that and results in favor of the Olympic Games. Finally, sentiment analysis shows that 87.5% of articles are classified as war sentiment. The presented study concludes that the academic discourse obscures the identity of Sarajevo, maintaining the status quo and polarizing it between the opposing memory debate of the two analyzed happenings.
