The Olympic and Paralympic Games of the XXX Olympiad provide an excellent opportunity to explore the tensions and contradictions within and between modern Olympic ideals and traditional ideologies (‘isms’). By seeking to sustain certain narratives and ideologies that precede the 21st century, the Olympics stand as an anomaly in our post/alter-modern times. The one-day international conference on the Olympics and the ‘Isms’ seeks to go beyond social scientific perspectives that focus on tensions between the Olympic ideal and its realisation. Embracing self-reflexivity, athletes, practitioners and academics explore and problematise the framing of modern time Olympics.
