The article explores the development of football in interwar Romania, stressing its role in the dissemination and grounding of Romanian nationalism. I show how, due to its modular form, the game of football was deeply involved in the efforts of centralizing, territorializing and naturalizing the Romanian nation-state of the interwar period. The founding of the leading Romanian sports club at the University of Cluj and the selection of the national representative for the Paris Olympics of 1924, in conjunction with the institutional infrastructure developed to nationally regulate and control the game, are used to present the acute tensions between local/regional and national aspirations and projects, with a strong ethnic component, that have shaped the history of the game in Romania. I argue that the increasing calls for the full Romanianization of football in the 1930s have their immediate roots in these tensions and frictions.

National Identity Formation

In order to understand how the concept of national identity, currently included in national legislation and curricula, has been formed, our research focuses on the recent history of national identity formation in the absence of the nation-state “frame”, i.e. in Latvian diaspora on both sides of the Iron Curtain – in Western exile and in Soviet Latvia. The question of our study is: how was national identity represented and taught to next generations in the national community that had lost the protection of its state? As primers reveal a pattern of national identity practice, eight primers published in Western exile and six primers used in Soviet Latvian schools between the mid-1940s and the mid-1970s were taken as research sources. In primers, national identity is represented through the following components: land and nation state iconography, traditions, common history, national language and literature. The past reverberating with cultural heritage became the cornerstone of learning national identity by the Latvian diaspora. The shared, idealised past contrasted the Soviet present and, thus, turned into an instrument of hidden resistance. The model of national identity presented moral codes too, and, teaching them, national communities did not only fulfill their supporting function, but also took on the functions of “normalization” and control. Furthermore, national identity united generations and people’s lives in the present, creating memory-based relationships and memory-based communities.

AbstractThe history of Physical Education reports us that the physical exercises have emerged and have been perfected in accordance with the social order, evolving in direct relation with it. During this paper we will define the phenomenon of Physical education and sport as a discipline of academic education, starting from the general notions to the particular ones in the general physical training of the student actor. In this paper we try to highlight some similarities between the preparation of the actor and the preparation of the athlete for professional performance. We will present the theoretical framework with well-defined and accepted notions in both sports and theater. We will subsequently present the particular framework in which the theoretical principles in the sports field are taken over by the university theater programme and put into practice for the general preparation of the future actor. The article closes with the selection of some basic conclusions and recommendations appropriate to the topic under discussion

Objective. Dog bites cause an estimated 585 000 injuries resulting in the need formedical attention yearly and children are the most frequent victims. This study sought to determine dog-specific factors independently associated with a dog biting a nonhousehold member. Methods. A matched case-control design comprising 178 pairs of dogs was used. Cases were selected from dogs reported to Denver Animal Control in 1991 for a first-bite episode of a nonhousehold member in which the victim received medical treatment. Controls were neighborhood-matched dogs with no history of biting a nonhousehold member, selected by modified random-digit dialing based on the first five digits of the case dog owner's phone number. Case and control dog owners were interviewed by telephone. Results. Children aged 12 years and younger were the victims in 51% of cases. Compared with controls, biting dogs were more likely to be German Shepherd (adjusted odds ratio (ORa) = 16.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.8 to 71.4) or Chow Chow (ORa = 4.0, 95% CI 1.2 to 13.7) predominant breeds, male (ORa 6.2, 95% CI 2.5 to 15.1), unneutered (ORa = 2.6, 95% CI 1.1 to 6.3), residing in a house with ≥1 children (ORa 3.5, 95% CI 1.6 to 7.5), and chained while in the yard (ORa = 2.8, 95% CI 1.0 to 8.1). Conclusions. Pediatricians should advise parents that failure to neuter a dog and selection of male dogs and certain breeds such as German Shepherd and Chow Chow may increase the risk of their dog biting a nonhousehold member, who often may be a child. The potential preventability of this frequent public health problem deserves further attention.

Late Nineteenth

This chapter traces the formation of a “sports awakening” in the Middle East during the late nineteenth century until the interwar period. This sports awakening consisted of government and private schools, fashionable sports clubs, a bustling multilingual sports press, and popular football matches and gymnastics exhibitions. The institutional and discursive trajectory of sports was not confined to a specific nation state; rather, it was a regional phenomenon. Educators, sports club administrators, students, club members, editors, columnists, and government officials helped turn sports into a regular fixture of the urban landscape of cities across the Middle East. These developments reveal the profound intellectual and ethnoreligious diversity of the individuals and institutions that shaped the defining contours of sports throughout the Middle East.

The City

The operations of the Łódź Sports Club in the interwar period are an important part of the history of sport in the city of Łódź, as well as Poland. The Club’s prestige and successes should be chiefly attributed to the athletes’ and the coaches’ commitment, coupled with the activists’ organisational skills. A historical analysis of the Club’s operations indicates that, in addition to training athletes in various disciplines, the establishment was also involved in a wide range of impressive cultural and educational activities. These centred on organising reading rooms, talks, lectures, social meetings and trips as well as promoting patriotic values and the idea of fair play. Hence, the Club’s educational work was channelled into axiological models of sports competition on the one hand, and into propagating education and culture on the other.

The interwar period was an important time in the history of Polish documentary writing. The poetics of the genre was formed at the turn of the 1920s and 30s. At that time, there was a debate about the cognitive and aesthetic values of documentary writing. A variety of thematic forms quickly emerged, including works about foreign countries. This subgenre had two main variants: the „exotic documentary” (or „exotic-adventure”) and „sociopolitical documentary”. The present article examines a selection of texts representing both the variants and written by: Ferdynand Goetel, Zbigniew Uniłowski, Aleksander Janta-Połczyński, Ksawery Pruszyński, Melchior Wańkowicz, Antoni Słonimski, Zygmunt Nowakowski and others.

Approximately 6,000 current periodicals may be considered relevant to the art library, though no one art library can provide more than a fraction of these. Aids to the selection of an essential ‘core’ collection include specialized bibliographies; for access to periodicals outside its means or scope the art library must rely on cooperation with other libraries. Micro-publishing can play a vital part in facilitating global access. to art periodicals; meanwhile the art librariun can make a more informed selection of titles for a particular library, by analysing the needs of the library’s actual and potential users, and by studying what has been written on the history of art periodicals and of their usefulness. Excerpts from a paper presented to the ARLIS International Conference on art periodicals at the University of Sussex on April 9th.
