This course explores how sports activities and organizations contributed to cultural change, the rise and articulation of modern national identities, and related political confrontations and upheavals. Starting with the Sokol Movement in Prague in the early 19th century, the course will trace the interplay between sports and nationalism to the collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990’s. Students will learn about state creation, nationalism, and violence in Eastern Europe through the lens of sport by covering topics such as the rise of sporting organizations and national identity, how sport was used and what it symbolized in WWII and the Cold War, and what sports can tell us about post-communism in Eastern Europe today. The course will consist of five modules concluding with written assessments and weekly discussion board posts centered on readings, podcasts, and films.
