Emotional Intelligence in Coaching: Challenging the World through a Gestalt Perspective
Authors: Resnick Victoria A.
Published: February 2018

Emotional intelligence is the most essential component of leadership and professional coaching. Emotional intelligence is directly correlated with coaching through a Gestalt perspective since, in a coaching relationship, Gestalt coaches are leaders of a client's personal and/or professional process. Despite the minimal research surrounding Gestalt theory in relation to coaching, it is imperative to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence, Gestalt theory, and professional coaching. Emphasizing emotional intelligence as Gestalt theory is incorporated into coaching will raise the awareness of leaders and coaches working to enhance the opportunity for a client's overall growth and development. It is also important to explore how professional coaching can be influenced by the empirical research and theories of emotional intelligence.
The Relationship Between Reports of Mystical Experiences and Gestalt Resistance Processes
Authors: Prosnick Kevin P.
Published: February 2018

This study investigated the relationship between measures of mystical experiences and the six traditional Gestalt resistance processes (i.e., confluence, desensitization, introjection, projection, retroflection, and deflection). A group of 152 adults completed the Mysticism Scale (Hood, 1975) and the Gestalt Contact Styles Questionnaire—Revised (GCSQ-R; Woldt and Kepner, 1993). Significant negative correlations were found between the Mysticism Scale and four of the six Gestalt resistance scales.
Supervision: A Collaborative Endeavor
Authors: Resnick Rita F. , Estrup Liv
Published: February 2018

By utilizing multiple lenses—the personality functioning of the therapist, supervisor, and client; the relationships between client, therapist, and supervisor; theories of development, personality, and psychotherapy; clinical theory, diagnosis, and treatment—the authors present a visual model of supervision that expands the possibilities for understanding what transpires in both the therapy and the supervisiory hour and offers clinical interventions for both. tThe focus of this paper is on supervision from a Gestalt therapy perspective; however, the emphasis is on the modes of thinking and attitudes that need to be fostered in supervision regardless of the theoretical orientation of the supervisor.
Reaching and Being Reached
Authors: Frank Ruella
Published: February 2018

When therapists know how reach patterns emerge and become part of an infant's movement repertoire, they have a broad-based background from which to observe and understand their adult clients. Reach patterns emerge in the infant as a product of several processes: the infant's internal dynamics (anatomical constructions and metabolic processes), the fundamental constraints of the physical field (gravity, earth, space), and the unfolding relations within the social environment (primary caregivers). Each pattern integrates into the developing nervous system and becomes the foundation for the child's, adolescent's, adult's behaviors. The formation of sucking patterns in health and dysfunction and their relationship to adult experience is examined in detail. Three adult case studies illustrate diagnosis and treatment based upon this somatic/ developmental perspective.
Sharing Disequilibrium: A Link Between Gestalt Therapy Theory and Child Development Theory
Authors: Mortola Peter
Published: February 2018

The theoretical concept of “disequilibrium” is at the heart of the developmental theories of Dewey (1934), Freud (1957), Erikson (1987), and Piaget (1964). It is also at the heart of Gestalt therapy theory (Perls, Hefferline, and Goodman, 1951). In each of these theories, the concept of disequilibrium is used to describe the “destabilization” experienced by children as they move toward and into more complex levels of development. This article highlights the theoretical linkages between developmental and Gestalt therapy theory and, in so doing, provides further theoretical support for the “developmentally appropriate” work that gestalt therapists provide, particularly with children.
On the Utility of Combined Theoretical–Empirical Methodologies in Gestalt Test Construction: Mills Revisited
Authors: Prosnick Kevin P.
Published: February 2018

Bruce Mills (1997) adopted a strict empirical approach in creating his Gestalt Factor Scales. This author identifies nine errors and/or inconsistencies when Mills's scale items are examined with combined theoretical–empirical strategies. The author cautions researchers and clinicians not to use the Mills's instrument in its current form.
Touch in Gestalt Body Process Psychotherapy: Purpose, Practice, and Ethics
Authors: Kepner James
Published: February 2018

The use of touch in a Gestalt-influenced, body-oriented psychotherapy is discussed, including cultural influences on attitudes toward touch. The term Gestalt Body Process psychotherapy is introduced to differentiate a specific body-oriented approach from the classical Gestalt therapy work with the body. Development of touch intervention within Gestalt body process psychotherapy is described. Psychotherapeutic purposes of touch are detailed in its influence on awareness, assessment, therapeutic relationship, psychophysical change and energy systems. It is argued that awareness may not be sufficient for the structural reorganization to support new modes of contact. Characteristics of the therapist in touch are presented, and crucial ethical guidelines as assisting its beneficial and sound use are described.
Let the Straw Man Speak Husserl's Phenomenology in Context
Authors: McConville Mark
Published: February 2018

Gestalt therapy has long acknowledged its indebtedness to phenomenological philosophy in general and to Edmund Husserl in particular, but ironically in a fashion that disregards the organic context of this work. The result is too often exemplified by discussions of phenomenology that either misrepresent its contribution to Gestalt therapy or apply its insights in stilted or inappropriate fashion. The literal translation of Husserl's reduction as psychotherapeutic method is a case in point. This article asks Gestalt therapy to assess Husserl's method in its own context and to appreciate his real contribution, which was no less than providing a philosophical foundation and justification for Gestalt therapy's reverence for human experience.
The Theory of Self in Gestalt Therapy: A Restatement of Some Aspects
Authors: Lobb Margherita Spagnuolo
Published: February 2018

This article restates the epistemology of self in Gestalt therapy in a coherent whole useful for teaching purposes, and for a clear frame of reference in clinical practice. Core aspects of Gestalt therapy theory, such as spontaneity, field, anthropology, creative adjustment, function, and holism, are addressed in order to integrate them the one with the other. The unfolding of the self in the contact-making and withdrawal experience is described in its clinical implications, with a new reference to the experiential dimension of time. Other aspects, like the concept of “normality” and the important concept of egotism, have been approached by the author in a larger work.
Somatic-Experiential Sex Therapy: A Body-Centered Gestalt Approach to Sexual Concerns
Authors: Resnick Stella
Published: February 2018

When I started my studies of sexology and sex therapy in 1973, I was already a practicing Gestalt therapist. At the time, the Masters and Johnson approach primarily defined the field of sex therapy and essentially promoted a cognitive-behavioral method for relieving sexual dysfunction. Though I learned a great deal, especially about what could go wrong, my own focus on growth and on the phenomenology of sexual distress and pleasure cast me in a lonesome position in the world of sex therapy.

It also seemed to me that the split between mind and body that dominated the larger culture was alive and well in the whole of the clinical field. Psychotherapists were supposed to deal with the mind and emotions. The more holistically-inclined included the body. But sexual issues required a separate kind of therapy.

Much has changed in these thirty years, and the unity of mind and body is now widely acknowledged. Yet among clinicians, psychotherapy, bodywork, couples counseling, and sex therapy are often seen as requiring separate therapists and different modalities. As O'Shea (2000) has pointed out, the failure to deal with sexuality in psychotherapy likely has more to do with “fear and uncertainty” among psychotherapists than it does with sexual issues being irrelevant to the clients and trainees with whom we work. She goes on to suggest that “...the struggles and contradictions of our culture reflect a yearning for a sexuality that is more fully integrated, more connected to our sense of self, that touches people at their deepest level of need....”

This paper explores the possibilities for greater attention to sexual issues as growth issues, and for more integration among these various therapeutic disciplines. In particular, it describes a comprehensive approach to personal growth and satisfaction in relationships that is based in Gestalt theory and practice and includes attention to the body and the sexual self.

The paper begins by identifying several models for approaching sexual concerns in psychotherapy. It continues with an exploration of how a body-oriented Gestalt model—a somatic-experiential approach—differs theoretically and methodologically from more traditional methods. It concludes with a case history demonstrating applications of this approach, and a summary of essential features.
Gestalt Groups Revisited: A Phenomenological Approach
Authors: Fairfield Mark A.
Published: February 2018

Group therapy, including Gestalt group work, is deeply rooted in group development theories as a principle way of orienting to groups. The author argues that a primarily developmental frame of reference will limit therapists' ability to experience a wider range of available phenomena. He suggests that therapists broaden their perspectives through a grounding in phenomenological field theory. This emphasis on field theory is consistent with the tenets of Gestalt therapy and allows therapists to work in a more relational and experience-near manner.
Working with Narcissism in Organizations
Authors: Bentley Trevor J.
Published: February 2018

In his work using a Gestalt approach in organizations, the author meets individuals and systems that have narcissistic tendencies. This article describes the way the author works with his clients to moderate their behavior between the opposite poles of healthy and unhealthy narcissism. The author then describes a useful diagnostic tool and reflects on how his own narcissism both helps and hinders his work.
Pleading for Alternative Research Paradigms: Some Critical Comments on Bengt-Åke Wennberg and Monica Hane's Article on Lewin's Heritage
Authors: Fuhr Reinhard
Published: February 2018

While attempting to participate in the authors' stream of reasoning, I will elaborate on some critical issues in the development of a new research paradigm.2 After reviewing the general premises of the authors, I will comment on their research praxis. Finally, I will summarize some conclusions on alternative research paradigms that would comply with high quality standards.

When I start reading an article that interests me, such as “Kurt Lewin's Heritage: A Possible Breakthrough?” I usually attempt to follow the stream of thoughts and arguments of the author(s), connect and compare them with my own knowledge, and let myself be surprised by new thoughts and ideas—in short, I try to participate in the authors' world of thoughts. This is particularly the case when the title of the article touches a topic in which I have been engaged for decades in doing praxis development and research in the fields of therapy, counseling, and education, attempting to develop and establish paradigmatic changes in the established research approaches.3 I must admit, though, that I am not familiar with Lewin's work in great detail, although I have studied him as an important basis for the theory of the Gestalt approach and for alternative research paradigms.

I heartily agree with the tenor of the article that there is far too little participation of those investigated in the field of research, and I am convinced that research, in Gestalt therapy in particular, should emphasize new approaches to research, especially the principle of participation. I also endorse the authors' proposition that gaining knowledge (through research) in a holistic way is a very active process that embraces many more aspects than the traditional (behavioral) “learning theory.” And I am equally convinced that these participative and active processes of researchers and learners alike may activate a great deal of creative potential that usually remains unused in most activities in our educational institutions, from the primary school to universities and continuing education for adults.

Although I very much sympathize with these basic ideas, which I, too, have tried to realize in my daily praxis and research with more or less degrees of success, I stumble on many assertions and statements by the authors so that in the end, I desperately fall flat on my face. But, like a roly-poly toy, I stand up again, flying the flag for alternative research paradigms with a high level of participation and high quality standards, as I think that they are desperately needed for Gestalt and other humanistic and integral approaches in our professional fields.

I will provide a few of many examples of those stumbling blocks in reference to the authors' general premises and their concept of participatory research, and finish by trying to draft some criteria for the proceedings and methodologies of alternative paradigms—which I believe would not have met with Kurt Lewin's resistance, by and large.

Análise da cultura da erva-mate como alternativa social, econômica e ambiental para comunidades rurais
Authors: Antoniazzi Marli Salete , Rocha Lisiane Dörr , Souza Eduardo Lorensi , Guerra Divanilde , Da Silva Danni Maisa , Redin Marciel
Published: February 2018

A erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis) é uma planta típica do Rio Grande do Sul, faz parte da história e tem possibilidade de ser cultivada em pequenas propriedades rurais, com retornos econômico, social, bem como para preservação do meio ambiente. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo através de ação de extensão com palestras e questionários, analisar a percepção do cultivo da erva-mate como alternativa para recuperação de áreas degradadas no meio rural e, sua importância econômica e social para estudantes do ensino fundamental de quatro comunidades rurais do município de Três Passos – RS. Antes do início da palestra em cada comunidade foi aplicado um questionário para diagnóstico sobre o conhecimento dos estudantes em relação a erva-mate, desde o seu cultivo, benefícios, até a preocupação com áreas degradadas. Os resultados obtidos mostraram pouco conhecimento em relação ao cultivo e benefícios da erva-mate, embora seja encontrada no município. Ainda, os estudantes relatam grande preocupação com áreas degradadas e interesse no cultivo da erva-mate. Assim, o cultivo da erva-mate poderá ser uma alternativa a ser buscada para os futuros produtores das comunidades rurais que enfrentam dificuldades em obter soluções de ampliação e diversificação de renda em suas propriedades rurais. Aliado a isso, de uma forma simples, mas que vem ao encontro de soluções que levem em conta os impactos sociais e ambientais, o cultivo da erva-mate pode garantir o bem-estar e a permanência dos jovens no campo do município de Três Passos - RS.
Role of Hormones in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma - An Update
Authors: Jain Megha , Jain Vipin , Gupta Anish , Saawarn Swati , Khan Samar
Published: February 2018

Background: Hormones have been recognized as regulator of the cell growth, differentiation and maturation. It has become increasingly evident that hormone may play a crucial role in the genesis and progression of several cancers like those of breast, ovary, testis, thyroid, prostrate including oral cancer.

Aim: Present overview aims to discuss and provide data on possible role of various hormones including stress hormone, sex hormone, parathyroid and related hormone protein, melatonin and active metabolite of vitamin D3 in causation and progression of Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Data Acquisition: A systematic search of existing literature was carried out for the keywords like hormones and cancer, hormones and oral cancer or OSCC utilizing the Google, Google Scholar and PubMed databases for extraction, assortment and compilation of data.

Inference: In conclusion, we found that hormones are directly or indirectly involved in the pathogenesis of the OSCC and can be utilized in its management and prevention.
Organicism and Construction in Nielsen’s Symphony No. 5
Authors: Fjeldsøe Michael
Published: February 2018

This article points to the fact, that most analytical approaches to Nielsen’s music are embedded in an underlying modernist discourse shared by its opponents, in which construction and cromaticism are considered as opposed to organicism and diatonicism. Analysing the melodic and interval structures at the beginning of Nielsen’s Fifth Symphony it can be shown that Nielsen develops a system of recurring symmetrical intervallic structures, which are not based on the octave or any traditional modes. Construction and organicism enter a state of interdependence, where consistent organicism brings about the construction of a network of fixed pitches; and this construction enables the setting free of melodic organicism from the demands of inherited keys or modes.
Steps to Modernism. Carl Nielsen’s String Quartets
Authors: Krummacher Friedhelm
Published: February 2018

It would seem that the string quartet as a genre is not central to Nielsen’s oeuvre, at least if we consider the F major Quartet op. 44 as his only mature work for the medium. But this picture changes as soon as we count not merely his early apprentice works but also the three further quartets to which Nielsen himself assigned opus numbers and which he had published. After the early quartet studies, in which his familiarity with the classical repertoire may be seen, the following quartets – op. 13, op. 5 and op. 14 – show a progressive emancipation from tradition, which is particularly evident in their harmonic relationships. As the texture becomes far more complex, so the harmonic language achieves an increasing differentiation, going as far as bitonal passages in the E flat Quartet op. 14 (1897-98). The F major Quartet op. 44, composed in 1906, appears as a logical consequence, in that it unites the transparency of the early studies with the fluctuating tonality that thereafter becomes the basis for Nielsen’s output. From this perspective the string quartets acquire a central position, since they reflect his development more clearly than other genres. Moreover, they occupy a unique position when viewed not just against the background of Nielsen’s late works but in the context of the general history of the genre before 1900.
"We never know where we'll end up". Nielsen’s Alternative Endings to the Flute Concerto
Authors: Pankhurst Tom
Published: February 2018

The two alternative endings to Carl Nielsen’s Flute Concerto conclude the work in different keys. This article explores some analytical and theoretical issues raised by the radically different overall tonal structures implied by these different conclusions, taking the opportunity to reflect on our understanding of what tonal closure means for Nielsen.
Music and Philosophy
Authors: Mathiassen Finn
Published: February 2018

Carl Nielsen’s youth covered a period when art was no longer an integrated part of daily life but rather a commodity functioning as a kind of status-symbol. The article discusses Nielsen’s attitude to this new situation, stressing the fact that for him art was still a compelling necessity, as expressed in his famous dictum prefacing the Fourth Symphony: “Music is life”. With reference to Nielsen’s own writings the article re-assesses his somewhat controversial attitude to programme music and the “meaning” of music.
Carl Nielsen's Juvenilia et Addenda. Reflections, Practices and Experiences, or How to Complete a Complete Edition
Authors: Jensen Lisbeth Ahlgren
Published: February 2018

The article is a result of the completion of Carl Nielsen’s collected works, whose last volume consists of Juvenilia and a number of other compositions. The article discusses how a collected edition is to handle unfi nished or incomplete works, or works of doubtful authenticity. It is argued that the inclusion of such works among other works approved by the composer may be problematic and may give a distorted picture of the composer’s abilities; but also that they may provide a more complete picture of the composer and his working process. It is furthermore stressed that concepts such as completeness (meaning to what extent the work is finished) and authenticity must be well defined in each case; the same goes for provenance and a subjective – though vague –parameter like personal style, which may neither be ignored nor given too much importance.
Carl Nielsen and the Nationalist Trap, or, what, Exactly, is 'Inextinguishable'?
Authors: Knapp Raymond
Published: February 2018

Nationalist music evokes such elements as a mythologized landscape and a virtuous people who ‘belong’ to that landscape, presented, through narrative or tone, with either nostalgia or a sense of aspiration (or both). More fundamentally, however, beginning early in the nineteenth century, musical nationalism has depended on the belief that a composer’s music can and should speak, authentically and powerfully, for a collective. This essay first describes how this belief took hold, initially through Beethoven reception and the influence of German Idealism, and then presents a nationalist reading of Nielsen’s Inextinguishable in order to demonstrate the gravitational pull of nationalism on symphonic works and their reception.
Alternative Neo-Riemannian Approaches to Carl Nielsen
Authors: Nielsen Svend Hvidtfelt
Published: February 2018

On the basis of songs or songlike themes from three periods of Nielsen’s career I try to show how Nielsen’s harmonic progressions become simpler while displaying a more refined complexity. I do this on the basis of the theories of the Danish scholar/composers Jorgen Jersild and Jan Maegaard which are, in various degrees, based on Riemannian analysis. The two Danes thus represent an alternative neo-Riemannian approach to harmonic analysis. This approach was developed from 1970 to 1989, the very same years in which Erno Lendvai, David Lewin, Deborah Stein and Harald Krebs wrote their respective groundbreaking works. Even though Jersild’s and Maegaard’s theories were developed independently of these writers, their content communicates with the content of their theories. And even though a theory of foreground harmonic progressions like Jersild’s is seemingly as opposed as possible to a Schenkerian middleground-based harmonic approach, they do actually, in some regards, have something in common, just as in other regards they supplement each other perfectly. I try, through the analyses of Nielsen’s music plus a few other examples (Schumann, Liszt and Wolf), to show how the theories of these above mentioned many writers and others, may be integrated into the two Danish theories. In discussing analytical theories the text is especially conversant with two recent books on Nielsen, Anne-Marie Reynolds’ The Voice of Carl Nielsen (2010) and Daniel Grimley’s Carl Nielsen and the Idea of Modernism (2011), as the two main analyses refer to analyses in Reynolds and Grimley respectively.
Nielsen's 'Saul and David' as Tragedy: The Dialectics of Fate and Freedom in Drama and Music
Authors: Reynolds Anee-Marie
Published: February 2018

In previous studies of Carl Nielsen’s opera Saul og David , Einar Christiansen’s libretto as been compared to the biblical story, and the similarities and differences duly noted. Recently, Pat McCreless suggested that, beyond the biblical narrative, Saul and David might constructively be viewed as a tragedy. Indeed, in this paper I will demonstrate that this perspective illuminates not just Christiansen’s take on King Saul’s demise, but also Nielsen’s methods of underscoring it musically. My title alludes to Paul Ricoeur’s The Symbolism of Evil in which the author states: ‘Without the dialectics of fate and freedom, there would be no tragedy.’ In other words, tragedy depends on the tension between forces beyond a person’s control, and actions taken of his own volition that may postpone, but ultimately cannot alter, his fate. I will argue that Nielsen was drawn to this subject for his fi rst opera in part because Saul’s struggle against the inevitable unfolds in much the way his music does: ‘fate’ is the tonal goal, and ‘freedom’ is the volatile harmonic language and serpentine voice-leading that thwart progress toward that ineluctable goal. This is perhaps why many reviewers have noted the opera’s symphonic nature; Nielsen’s instrumental works depend on these same techniques precisely because he infused all of his compositions with drama. He once admitted as much: ‘I have always felt strongly attracted by the ‘dramatic’ in art, for is not all art actually dramatic?’ It is also tempting to consider the dialectics of fate and freedom in regard to Nielsen’s life at the time that he was writing Saul og David . He was just over thirty when he began, yet already had one illegitimate child, a wife and three kids depending on him. Attempting to develop a career that requires imagination and inspiration, while burdened with the mundane necessities of making a living and raising a family, he may have identified intuitively with Saul’s sense of entrapment, and viewed him more sympathetically than the less complicated David. Saul’s humanness surely resonated with Nielsen’s own.
Nielsen's Arcadia: The Case of the Flute Concerto
Authors: Ross Ryan
Published: February 2018

In this essay I suggest that there are distinct patterns pertaining to the Flute Concerto involving the idea of ‘Arcadia’ as it contrasts an idyllic past with a troubled present. In my analysis, I argue that his positioning of simple themes with relation to their surroundings in the concerto’s two movements suggests a process-driven search for an Arcadian ideal. As such, and far from simply being merely an interesting work with several beautiful moments, the concerto is an important access point both for further understanding Nielsen’s creative approach to form and his late-period preoccupation with the idea of simplicity.
Signifyin(g) Carl: Nielsen's Music in the Jazz Repertoire
Authors: Vad Mikkel
Published: February 2018

The article traces the prevalence of Nielsen’s music in the jazz repertoire and suggests that it should be understood within the broader framework of jazz aesthetics. Drawing on Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s theory of Signifyin(g) the doubleness in the way Danish jazz musicians have used Nielsen’s music is interpreted as a transnational vernacular. Seeing as it is mainly Nielsen’s “folkelige” songs that have their way to the jazz repertoire the recordings are placed within a broader Scandinavian tradition of playing vernacular tunes in jazz. The vast number of jazz recordings of Nielsen’s music are broadly categorised and various musical, Signifyin(g) tropes are identified. Thus, the article is also a call for an interpretive strategy that takes the dialogic intertextuality of the music in to account.

Hvad man nu kalder sport' - en empirisk undersøgelse af sportens gennembrud i Odense
Authors: Wøllekær Johnny
Published: February 2018

Lokalhistorisk beretning fra Odense om idrættens udvikling i 1800-tallet og frem.“What you could call Sport” – The breakthrough for Sport in Odense.Modern sport came to Odense in the latter half of the 19th century. The big breakthrough for sport came, however, only in around 1900, when many new sports clubs saw the light of day. The establishment of the modern sports movement in Odense roughly resembles the development seen in other large towns and cities both nationally and across northern Europe, although here it seems a little delayed in comparison to cities such as Copenhagen or Stockholm. Around the turn of the century Odense is estimated to have had about 2000 active and organised sports enthusiasts, and this figure rose to about 3000 by 1920. The city’s skating club was the largest sports club with about 6-700 members at the turn of the century. Despite the limitations of the source material, there is much to suggest that it was the middle class in particular who took to sport. It was the office workers, the book-keepers, the clerical assistants, the sales personnel who were active in the clubs. The upper class dominated only those branches of sport, which required expensive equipment, such as equestrian sports, cycling and motor sports and sailing. The working class and women were, on the other hand, a rare sight in clubs before the turn of the century. Individual women were, however, active in the private gymnastic institutions which sprung up from the 1880’s onwards. Here the city’s middle class maidens would be offered remedial gymnastics. Only at the beginning of the 20th century would the sight of women enjoying sports become more common. In the city’s parks occasional female footballers might be seen, while on the tennis courts several of the city’s more respectable ladies took a fling with a racquet. It was, however, first and foremost women’s gymnastics run by clubs that managed to involve women in sport.

Bjarne Riis - idol og syndebuk
Authors: Rasmussen Kristian
Published: February 2018

Bjarne Riis – idol and scapegoatGod one day, scapegoat the next. This is the shape of the story told by the press about the Danish winner of the Tour de France, Bjarne Riis. This article came into being as a result of astonishment at the way in which the press and the public have dealt with the phenomenon of drug use among professional cyclists. The subject is investigated from a cultural-analytical approach, and the article throws light on the way in which press reports along with publicity in general created a kangaroo court, and on how fanatical adulation are transformed to envy and hate. The story of the rise and fall of Bjarne Riis is compared to a genuine scapegoat ritual, and the sacrifice of the scapegoat is compared with the sacrifices of ancient societies. Both journalism and the public subscribe to an ancient game, which places itself outside our modern society, founded as it is on the rule of law.Michel Foucault’s notion of punishment in pre-modern society is used to illustrate the subject. The scapegoat theory of the French religious philosopher, René Girard, provides a basis for a description of the rise and fall of the god of cycling, while Elias Canetti is used to put the reactions of the public into perspective. The book that inspired this article is Verner Møller’s Dopingdjævlen (Drug Devil), which, in line with the ideals of modern society regarding good sense and the need for dialogue, attempts to explain the phenomenon of drugs and sport. The French philosopher, Georges Bataille, also enters the picture here and is used to help understand the cyclist’s willingness to act as sacrifice in relation to sport.
"Først som en tragedie - så som en komedie". Idrættens transformering, Dybbøl Banke og en sandkasse i Potsdam
Authors: Hansen Jørn
Published: February 2018

Essayet belyser på et metaplan det at skrive historie, og hvordan historien gentager sig med eksempel fra kampen om Dybbøl Banke.“First as tragedy, then as comedy”. The transformation of sport, Dybbøl Hill and a sandpit in Potsdam.Dybbøl Hill has played a central role for history and for the writing of history in both Denmark and Germany. Since 1864 Dybbøl has had decisive significance for the development of popular national identity in Denmark, and by extension for popular sport. Last year a battle for Dybbøl Hill was fought once again. The battle saw no blood spilt and was first and foremost a conflict about how history should be presented and how different presentational forms affect our understanding of both our past and our present. In this article a curious connection will be proved between the latest battle of Dybbøl Hill and so-called historical relics in Berlin and Potsdam. A copy of the fortifications at Dybbøl in a sandpit at the New Palace in Potsdam, in particular, comes to support the old saying, “History repeats itself first as tragedy, then as comedy.”

Idræt og lokalhistorie - pejlinger og perspektiver i en dansk og nordisk kontekst
Authors: Nielsen Niels Kayser
Published: February 2018

Nordisk lokalhistorie og foreningsliv, herunder karaktertræk som afbalancering, pragmatisme og konformitet.Sport and local history – bearings and perspectives in the context of Denmark and ScandinaviaThis article deals with differences and similarities in the research by Scandinavian countries into sporting history with particular reference to aspects of local history. The fundamental idea is that the distinction, which is so important in Denmark, between civil society and the state has had a significant influence on the way in which local historical sporting research has played a less important role here than in the remainder of Scandinavian countries. The Grundtvigian interest in civil society as a counterweight to the forceful Danish central power might have had sporting life at its centre, but greater oppositional weight lay in stressing association activities rather than sport as such. The remaining Scandinavian countries have never had a central power of similar strength and have, therefore, had less need to stress the power of civil society. For this reason it has been easier for them to devote themselves to sport in a narrower sense in local society.
Idrott och historiebruk - exemplet idrottshistoriske föreningar i Sverige

To aspekters nære kobling - præstationsfokusering og organisationshistorie.Sport and the uses of history – examples from SwedenIn contrast to Denmark, there is a strong tradition in Sweden for associations of sporting history. For this reason, the editors asked professor Jan Lindroth to give us an introduction to Swedish sporting associations. What is an association of sporting history? How did they originate? How are they organised? What are their activities? Associations of sporting history sprang up during the 1970’s and since then the majority of Sweden’s ‘lä’ (counties) have acquired an association, so that today there exist over 20 associations of sporting history. Most of these associations have their base in organisations devoted to the sporting movement. The activities of these associations centre particularly around meetings and around publications such as newsletters, but over and above that they are involved in interviews with sporting veterans, with 156 the collection of material, of literature and equipment, and with exhibitions and sporting museums or memorial sites. Seen from a distance, associations of sporting history exemplify the potential to employ history in the service of a common identity and nostalgia.
Motion og sundhed i et programmatisk perspektiv
Authors: Skovgaard Thomas

Motion og sundhed som en arena for tilrettelæggelse af offentlig politik og Folkesundhedsprogrammet fra 1999.Exercise and health in a programmatic perspectiveFrom a political angle attention is regularly focused on the presumed connection between exercise and health. Generally speaking, there is interest in integrating exercise even more closely than has been the case to date into the health-oriented work which takes place in all parts of society – though most markedly in or with the participation of the public sector. But what progress is in fact being made in the realisation of the various schemes for allowing exercise and health to interact when it comes to actual initiatives on the ground? This is the fundamental question which this article attempts to tackle. At a more concrete level the aim is to analyse health and exercise as an arena for the planning of public policy. The Nyrup Rasmussen government’s Programme for Public Health (FSP) of 1999 has been taken as a starting point. The choice of this programme as a basis is due to the fact that we can in a small way begin to evaluate its impact. Towards the end of September 2002 the government then in power presented a review of the public health programme. To date this mostly consists of words on paper. Since the two national health programmes of 1999 and 2002 respectively resemble each other to a substantial extent – both in respect to content and to the administrative and social circumstances in which they are realised – it is reasonable to presume that what has proved true of the 1999 Public Health Programme will in broad terms also be true of the 2002 Health Programme. This article attempts to answer the following questions: Why and how did we actually get a public health programme? Why did it appear in the year 1999 and are we to regard it in isolation or is there some purpose in placing it in a historical and international perspective? Why is exercise included as an explicit theme in the public health programme? What are the aims of the public health programme in relation to exercise and are they in the process of being realised? The article’s second question is appended to the endless debate regarding whether and under what conditions exercise is healthy. From a precise understanding of what health and exercise are, the article will briefly touch on this question. The article’s third question demands a description of the health programme’s factual content, which leads on to an assessment of whether specific benchmarks are in the process of being attained. In this respect the article focuses exclusively on the subject of exercise. What of the future? An assessment of the public health programme is valuable in itself, but its value increases substantially if this descriptively formulated assessment is used to suggest what possible scenarios the future might hold for public health and for an area such as exercise.
Olympiske erindringssteder

Konstruktion af erindringssteder og national identitet - OL i 1896 og 1936 bruges som eksempler.Olympic places of remembrance From the beginnings of the modern Olympic games the events themselves have provided material for the construction of remembrances. But so have the edifices, the rituals, the actions and the people associated with them. Staging and message, intention and unconscious association have varied according to the current political situation and contemporary taste, but also according to resources and technological progress. The Olympic games prove themselves here to be adaptable, accommodating themselves as well to the invocation of ancient Greek ideals as to the dramatization of Nazism’s sense of superiority. In selecting remembrance sites, the players involved have to a large extent had a free hand. Anything large, beautiful and elevated, anything which can provide tradition and culture, anything which enhances prestige and is blessed by the legitimate taste of the time can be used. Olympic places of remembrance are glorifications of the past, illusions of eternity and teleological directedness towards their own age all rolled into one. They link an imaginary present with a fictional past. The question of what constitutes the special fascination of the Olympic games has been addressed by MacAloon, who tried to provide an answer with the assistance of a “Theory of Spectacle”. In my opinion, however, the idea of the construction of places of remembrance can also contribute to an improved analysis and interpretation of the Olympic games.
Den olympiske pengemaskine

Artikel om de moderne olympiske leges økonomi.The Olympic money machineOver a century after their start, the modern Olympic games constitute nothing less than the greatest regularly recurring global event. The modern Games are an event which attracts a great deal of attention and creates and consumes large quantities of resources, which also stem from public sources of finance and therefore from the ordinary tax-payer – in the first instance the citizens of the city in which the games are held. Over and above their role as a unique sporting event, the modern Games are the driving force in a comprehensive transnational concern, which from an analytical point of view is positioned at the intersection between the private market, the public sector and civilian society. Such a situation makes it relevant to shed light on the background against which the finances of the Olympic games as a business come into being and are distributed. This article considers the Olympic idea first and foremost as a sales object. This is simply because when the day arrives when the modern Games and their pregnant symbols – the Olympic logo, the Olympic flag, the Olympic motto, the Olympic hymn and the Olympic torch – no longer sell, many of the problems that currently grow out of and with the Olympic money machine will be a closed chapter. In this context sharp scrutiny is directed at the IOC, the organ which makes up the Olympic movement’s highest authority and which has a overriding influence on everything that takes place around the Olympic games enterprise. These two fixed points – the Olympic idea as a valuable marketing object and the IOC’s role as manager of that object by virtue of its position as leader of the Olympic movement and holder of the property rights to the modern Games – are grounded in a record of a series of events, which in 1998 and 1999 seriously shook the sustainability of the positive narrative about the Olympic games and of the Olympianism which was the philosophy of life superimposed on it. It is precisely the drawing power of that good narrative that makes it worthwhile for a multitude of companies of all sizes to pay large sums for the use of distinctive
