The Sports Spectacle from the Point of View of Aleatorism
– Constant and Casual Elements of the Structure of Spectacle*
Abstract
A sports performance is an important cultural event, essentially influencing social and individual lives. Despite
that, there has been no monograph, so far developed, as
part of the theory of sports and physical education, which
has analysed described and explained this phenomenon.
There has been no monograph that has developed the issue in a multi aspectual, holistic, culturological and philosophical way, dealing with its social and axiological values (esthetic, ethical and praxeological). This applies to
particular elements of a performance, to relations between
them and to mechanisms bringing about development and
growth of interest in the social dimension.
Generally, the theory of performance comprising such
forms as sports and theatrical, political or social performances does not have extensive coverage in polish literature. The relatively well developed one is the theory of a
theatre performance and that is why, for formal and operational reasons (a developed conceptual and methodological framework) it can serve as the basis for structural and
esthetic studies.
The above does not mean that the author will aim at appreciating a sports performance due to its links with theatre. He points to one of many possible aspects of a sports
performance, which are assumptions of aleathorical nature
included into its structure into its plan and into the tactics of
the game.
Key words: sport spectacle, aleatorism
