Description

Explore the history and complexity of the Olympic flame relay with this scholarly study from Routledge. As the first English-language book-length research on this topic, Bearing Light provides a deep look into the contemporary Olympic movement through the lens of the flame relay. Based on years of intensive ethnographic research and organizational intervention, the author follows the Olympic flame across twenty years of intercultural encounters. This study examines the negotiations and conflicts that occur between Greek flame relay officials, cultural agents, and foreign Olympic Games organizing committees. It also looks at the roles played by transnational actors, including the IOC and corporate entities. This book is part of the Sport in the Global Society - Contemporary Perspectives series. It offers a detailed account of how the flame relay serves as a site of encounter and negotiation between different global actors and discourses. It is an essential resource for those studying the sociology of sport and the global dynamics of the Olympic Games.
