| ABSTRACT |
|
This paper examines the intersecting concerns of poetry with those
of the popularization of sports and mass mobilization through media.
The case study presented explores the representation of an
international sporting event, namely the 10th Olympic Games in Los
Angeles in 1932, by specifically focusing on Olympics-themed poems,
news articles featured in Japan’s newspapers and related events, as
well as the ideals of and contradictions within the modern Olympic
Games. Regarding poems, this study surveys tanka, haiku and poems
featured in Japanese American dailies such as Rafu Simpo (Los
Angeles Japanese Daily News), a poetry collection titled Kyoka(Torch)
that is composed of Olympics-themed free-verse haiku by haiku poets
on the West Coast of the United States and Hawaii and in Japan, and
also the award-winning works for Asahi Shimbun’s fight-song lyric
writing contest in support of the Japanese Olympic delegation. Also
discussed are various contradictions within the modern Olympic Games,
e.g., between amateurism and professionalism, internationalism and
nationalism, individual competition and national competition, and
equality in sports and racial or ethnic discrimination, as they are
mirrored in the lyrics. |
