| Popis: | 100 The purpose of this study is to reveal the correlation between basketball and hegemony. The theme employs the approach of historical sociology to observe the developments of basketball in Taiwan between 1949 and 2010. Historical evidences from Taiwanese newspapers and documents shows that basketball played an important role in constructing hegemony. By the change of international status and social structure, my study is divided in three phases: Authoritarian Age (1949-1971), Transitional Age (1972-1987), and Open Age (1988-2010). In Authoritarian Age, KMT used the culture of basketball to shape Pan-Chinese identity, and in Transitional Age, KMT reformed the discourse on basketball for keeping their dominion in Taiwan, because of changes of international politics. However, in Open Age, basketball had been used to build the “Global-Empire” by the alliance of NBA and transnational sports groups. Nowadays, the discourse of the “Global-Empire” in Taiwanese basketball has been transformed into a worldview that regards NBA as the center or the highest arena and the unique measurement of basketball. In particular, during the process of the basketball and hegemony, it shows the influences of national identity, international politics, and global-capitalism within the construction of hegemony. In sum, this study analyses the interaction between hegemony and sport, and considers the hegemony a comprehensive dominating, including sports. |
