课程简介

课程名称:体育与文化中的行动主义 课程概述:体育不仅是美国文化的一个重要反映,也是社会分歧与联盟的象征。体育与政治变革在美国密切相关,运动员和机构如何应对种族、经济困境、民族主义和政治关系等问题,成为我们理解自身及社会的关键。然而,有些人希望体育世界能够摆脱争议与观点。许多运动员、教练和媒体人士则反对这一观点,要求被视为不仅是娱乐者,而是拥有政治观点和经历的完整人类。他们对不公正现象的斗争改变了美国体育的面貌,并引发了现代体育中的反思。 本课程将探讨背景如何影响抗议的形态与结果,体育为何在某种程度上提供或限制政治表达的空间,为什么一些人期望运动员成为行动主义者,而其他人则希望他们“保持沉默,仅仅打球”。课程由NBA全明星球员及TNT体育记者克里斯·韦伯主讲,他将采访包括约翰·卡洛斯和杰梅尔·希尔在内的标志性行动主义者,探讨他们的行动主义的意义和结果。学员将阅读和观看有关抗议行为的原始文献,以及对这些行为遗产进行反思的学术和新闻作品。通过课程学习,学员将更好地理解历史和当代抗议时刻,并能够创造并应用新的思维方式,理解体育世界中的行动主义。 课程大纲: 1. 模块名称:图标 描述:体育与行动主义的历史可以追溯到美国体育的初期,但1968年墨西哥城奥运会的抗议是最具标志性的一刻。在本模块中,您将了解当时站出来的运动员及其历史背景,以及他们的国家和世界如何回应这一行为。 2. 模块名称:犹豫的抗议者 描述:并非所有的抗议行为都出自自认为行动主义者的人。在本模块中,您将了解NBA名人堂成员斯宾塞·海伍德,他在19岁时成为1968年奥运会上最年轻的美国金牌得主;在21岁时,他起诉NBA,从而改变了比赛的规则。 3. 模块名称:评论员 描述:记者在行动主义中扮演什么角色?使用现有平台是否更好,还是建立自己的平台更有效?在本模块中,您将见证杰梅尔·希尔从ESPN人气人物演变为直言不讳的行动主义者的过程。 4. 模块名称:组织者 描述:本模块涵盖了哈里·爱德华兹博士的职业生涯。作为社会学家和学者,爱德华兹博士创造了体育社会学这一领域;作为行动主义者,他一直支持和指导运动员的抗议活动,从奥林匹克人权项目到科林·卡佩尼克对国家国歌的抗议。

课程大纲

Name:The Icons

Description:The history of activism and sports stretches to the beginnings of athletics in America, but perhaps the most iconic moment of protest was at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. In this module, you'll learn about the men who took a stand there, the historical context of the act, and how their country and the world responded.

Name:The Reluctant Protester

Description:Not all acts of protest are committed by people who consider themselves activists. In this module, you'll learn about NBA Hall of Fame honoree Spencer Haywood. At 19 he was the youngest American to win a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics. At 21, he brought a lawsuit against the NBA that would forever change the game.

Name:The Commentator

Description:What role do journalists play in activism? Is it better to use an existing platform, or to build their own? In this module you'll witness the evolution of Jemele Hill from ESPN personality to outspoken activist.

Name:The Organizer

Description:This module spans the career of Dr. Harry Edwards. As a sociologist and academic, Dr. Edwards created the field of sports sociology. As an activist, he has supported and counseled athletes in their acts of protest, from the Olympic Project for Human Rights to Colin Kaepernick's protest of the National Anthem.

Sports have become an ever-present reflection of American culture, and an important symbol of the divisions and alliances in our society. Sports and political change walk hand in hand in America. The way that athletes and institutions deal with questions of race, economic hardship, nationalism, and political ties have become central to the way that we understand ourselves and our society. And yet, there are those who would prefer their sports free of controversy and opinion. Dedicated athletes, coaches, and media personalities have pushed back against this refrain, demanding to be seen not just as entertainers but as fully formed humans with political opinions and experiences. Their struggles against injustice have changed the face of America and kicked off a reckoning within modern-day sports. How does context inform the shape and outcome of protests? What is it about sports that provides space — or doesn't — for political statements? Why do some of us expect athletes to be activists, when others would rather they "shut up and dribble"? We'll explore all of these questions and more in this class. Your professor will be NBA All-Star and TNT Sports journalist and commentator Chris Webber, who leads interviews with iconic activists, including John Carlos and Jemele Hill as they wrestle with the meanings and outcomes of their activism. You'll read and watch primary source documents about acts of protest, and academic and journalistic work that reckons with the legacies of those acts. By the end of the course, you'll have a better understanding of historical and contemporary protest moments, and be able to create and apply new ways of thinking about the activism within the world of sports in history and today.
