- W1531703788 abstract "In explaining social and cultural processes, the position of critical intellectuals, professional historians and social scientists, with some exceptions, has been a difficult one in relation to the role of sports (see Arbena 1988 and Mason 1995). Anthropology, my discipline, is no exception. Theory production in anthropol ogy has been characterized by the absence of sport as a field of analysis for understanding rituals, complex processes of identity construction, rites de pas sage, and bodily performances. For instance, Mauss' (1935) exemplary piece on body techniques does not mention sports arenas and performances as privi leged loci for the development of an anthropology of the body. Several reasons can be advanced as an explanation for the inattention to sport as an important anthropological endeavour. In my opinion, the main explanation lies in the accepted idea that sports and games, because they produce an asymmetry of winners and losers, are only expected to flourish in and be a characteristic of highly competitive industrial societies. The reverse should be true in non-mod ern societies where rituals dominate. In rituals, asymmetry is postulated in advance initiated and uninitiated or profane and sacred 'and the game consists in making all the participants pass to the winning side' by means of ritual participation (Levi-Strauss 1966:32). Therefore, almost by definition, an thropology, as the science of the non-modern and 'primitive', has in the past excluded the study of sports and competitive games because they were correct ly perceived as central features of modernity." @default.
