Having just been in Montreal, where they had their world film festival with
a specific section on sport movies, I thought this might be of interest to
some members...
Reminder Reminder Reminder Reminder
The Athens Games are over, let the discussion begin!!
Deadline for 300-word abstracts is September 15.
CALL FOR PAPERS:
The Olympics and Philosophy,
edited by Heather L. Reid, Andy Miah, & Beatriz Garcia
A proposal under review for the Open Court book series Popular Culture and
Philosophy
This book explores the controversy, passion, and politics of the Olympics,
revealing their rich philosophical underpinnings. It offers an unapologetic
critique of the Games as well as a sincere effort to explain the Movement's
values. Ultimately, it transforms familiar Olympic faces, symbols, and
events into engaging opportunities for philosophical discussion.
The editors welcome submissions of abstracts on any theme connecting
philosophy with the Olympic Games. A list of suggested themes and topics is
available on the website.
Abstracts should be brief (300 words) but sufficiently complete to give a
clear indication of the writing style and tone. Full papers accompanied by
an abstract are also acceptable (deadline for abstracts: 15 September,
2004).
Please submit the abstract along with the author's cv by email (as
attachment or in body of message) to: [log in to unmask]
