Ennen afterskitä – suomalaisen alppihiihtokulttuurin synty.
Mitä meillä oli ennen lumilautoja, kumparelaskua ja afterskitä? Millaisia olivat valkeat rinteet ja mitä vauhdin hurma?
Alppihiihtokäännöksiä tapailtiin Suomessa jo 1920-luvun lopulla. Neuvoa haettiin Ruotsista, jossa itävaltalaista oppia oli muokattu tunturiolosuhteisiin sopivaksi. Vaikutteiden hakeminen ja hiihdon monipuolinen kehittäminen olivat erityisesti naisten alaa. Miehiset urheilupiirit taas perustivat ratkaisunsa perinteeseen ja tukeutuivat kotimaiseen tietämykseen. He keskittyivät mitalien voittamiseen eivätkä hyväksyneet Keski-Euroopasta levinnyttä ”hotelliurheilua” todelliseksi urheiluksi.
Ennen toista maailmansotaa Lapin tunturihiihto oli harvojen harrastus, mutta naisvoimistelujärjestöt vaikuttivat aktiivisuudellaan Lapin matkailun yleistymiseen. Lappi- ja tunturihiihtomainoksilla luotiin vauhdikkuudella ja yläluokkaisella glamourilla höystettyä mielikuvaa raikkaudesta ja terveellisestä elämäntavasta.
Tilaisuus on avoin yleisölle!

The Sport and Leisure History Seminar Summer Conference:
’Sport and Leisure in Suburbs and New Towns: Communities, Identities and Interactions’
21st-22nd July, 2011
Hosted by the Institute of Historical Research, London
Global society is becoming increasingly dominated by suburban growth, yet our understandings of suburban social life are still lamentably under-informed or prejudiced by elitist anti-suburbanism. Some historians, cultural commentators and social scientists have explored the social significance of sport and leisure in new communities but much more work needs to be done to provide a fuller picture of the social life of suburbs and new towns in the modern and post-modern eras.
Our conference is looking for academics who are working on sport and leisure in suburbs and new towns. All sports and leisure activities are to be included. Approaches that include a focus upon community and association, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age and class are encouraged. An emphasis upon suburban identities and social formation in new communities is particularly welcome. Conformity and subversion are key themes that should also be addressed.
There is also a tendency – even in academic work – to treat ’suburban’ as a byword for lower middle class. We are therefore particularly keen to receive papers that demonstrate the social heterogeneity of suburbs and new towns. Contributors should also consider the geographic, as well as the social and cultural, dimensions of sport and leisure in suburbs and new towns: what are the influences, for example, of their spatial dimensions; of their infrastructure; of their distance or disconnection from existing urban centres; of migration to and from them?
Our scope is global: we hope to get proposals for papers not only from Britain and Europe, but also the Americas, Africa and Asia. We are particularly interested in work being undertaken in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and in the first decade of the current century. We therefore hope to attract academics from a range of disciplines, including history, sociology, geography, cultural studies, and architecture and the built environment, to name a few.
Please send abstracts (c. 300 words in length) and a brief biography to leisureinsuburbia(AT)gmail.com by Friday, 15th April.
Conference organisers: Dr Mark Clapson, Dion Georgiou and Dr John Law.

The 8th eass conference – People in motion – bridging the local and global will be held in Umeå, Sweden, from May 18th to 22th 2011.

Sport is a cultural expression in societies all over the world. Sport is by the engagement of the body, the equipment and the place a local phenomenon. At the same time the social significance of sport is global. Thus, studies on sport and people in motion are important with local as well as global perspectives. The 2011 eass conference will address a range of critically important issues relating to the overarching theme. Plenary speakers will include leading thinkers in sports, as well as papers and posters by researchers in the field of sport sociology within a variety of empirical, theoretical and cross disciplinary studies.
Keynote speakers:
Carolina Fusco (University of Toronto, Faculty of Physical Education and Health, Canada).
Roland Robertson (University of Aberdeen in Scotland, Director of the Centre for the Study
of Globalization, United Kingdom).
Janice Wright (University of Wollongong, Faculty of Education, Australia).
Kimmo Suomi (University of Jyväskylä, Department of Sport Sciences, Finland).
