Olimpijske igre kot nacionalistični medijski spektakel

od Berlina 1936 do Pariza 2024

Abstract

Poletne olimpijske igre veljajo za največji športni dogodek na svetu, ki na vsake štiri leta pod svojim dežnikom združi športnike in gledalce z vseh koncev zemeljske oble. Olimpijske igre so od antičnih časov pa do danes doživele številne spremembe in, med drugim, postale tudi priročno orodje za širjenje nacionalizma. Nikoli ni bilo to bolj očitno kot leta 1936, ko je nacistična Nemčija najprej gostila zimske olimpijske igre v Garmisch-Partenkirchnu, nato pa so istega leta sledile še veliko bolj odmevne poletne igre v Berlinu. V magistrskem delu sem raziskoval, kako različno oziroma podobno je bilo poročanje v časopisih The New York Times in The (Manchester) Guardian v primerjavi z letom 2024, ko sta omenjena časnika – The Manchester Guardian je v tem času postal zgolj The Guardian – poročala z olimpijskih iger v Parizu. Na primeru arhivskih časopisnih besedil iz omenjenih časnikov sem izvedel kritično analizo diskurza v besedilih iz leta 1936 in leta 2024, v katerih sem želel poiskati odgovore na moja raziskovalna vprašanja. Ugotovil sem, da se nacionalizem dandanes reproducira na drugačne načine, še vedno pa je v novinarskih besedilih zelo prisoten. Rasizem, ki je ne nazadnje tako močno zaznamoval igre v Berlinu leta 1936, se je iz poudarjanja telesnih značilnosti razvil v bolj politično in filozofsko razlikovanje, medtem ko so športniki in športnice še vedno podaljški svojih narodov, ki ob njihovih uspehih in neuspehih doživljajo kolektivne pretrese.

Secondary title:	Olympic games as a nationalistic media spectacle: from Berlin 1936 to Paris 2024
Secondary abstract:	The summer Olympics are regarded as the biggest sporting event in the world which gathers athletes and fans from all corners of the globe every four years. There have been many changes to the Olympics from ancient times up to now and in the meantime, they became, among other things, a handy tool for promoting nationalism. Never was this more obvious than in 1936, when Nazi Germany first hosted the winter games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which were followed by the much more notorious games in Berlin later that year. In my thesis I researched how different or similar the newspaper reports in The New York Times and The (Manchester) Guardian were in comparison with the year 2024, when both of these newspapers – in the meantime The Manchester Guardian became just The Guardian – were reporting about the Paris Olympics. From archive newspaper clippings I developed a critical discourse analysis and tried to answer my research questions. Nationalism today is reproducing differently but is still very much present in media. Racism, which incidentally left such a mark in Berlin 1936, has turned from underlining physical attributes to more political and philosophical differentiation, while athletes are still considered to be an extension of their respective nations, which experience successes and faliures through collective emotion.
