The Two Sides of the Gold Medal: Paradoxes of the Olympic Experience
This empirical study on the Olympic spectator experience identifies four paradoxes—“union and disunion,” “void and repletion,” “the staged and the real,” and “the spirit and the rational” in discourse. A paradox perspective reveals interdependencies and dynamics of temporary solidarization, vitalization of the extraordinary, conquest of truth, and authentication.
