Août 1936. Les nazis ont ravalé les façades, fait disparaître toute trace d‘antisémitisme et préparé<br />

avec faste et apparat « leur » Olympiade. La trêve et son illusion de paix rassurent pour un temps<br />

les démocraties et les athlètes présents à Berlin, bien qu‘à tout moment, les parades militaires ne<br />

cessent de faire peser une tension aussi oppressante que prémonitoire... Trente athlètes français<br />

présents à Berlin témoignent...<br />

Nach einer über 1500 Jahre währenden Pause werden die Olympischen Spiele am Ende des<br />

19.Jahrhunderts wieder ins Leben gerufen, und zwar in bewusster Anlehnung an ihr antikes<br />

Vorbild. Bei einem genaueren Blick auf die Festlichkeit auf der Peloponnes ist aber schnell zu<br />

erkennen, dass sich die modernen Spiele – trotz ihres ausdrücklichen Nachahmungs-gedankens –<br />

nur bedingt und oft ziellos an der Antike orien-tieren.<br />

The 1932 <strong>Olympic</strong> Games in Los Angeles: a new beginning in the French and<br />

German press representation of the former enemy ?<br />

IN : Olympika, Vol. XX (2011), pp. 79-100<br />

Previous research on the subject of Franco-German relations in the sporting press shows that a<br />

period of open hostility between the two countries, which lasted until 1928, was followed in the<br />

mid-1930s by one where the French showed admiration towards Germans, while the Germans<br />

demonstrated arrogance or indifference with regard to France. Yet, this change in media<br />

representation has attracted only limited research and points to the need for a focused study of the<br />

1932 <strong>Olympic</strong> Games in Los Angeles. At that time, contraction of the money supply and loss of<br />

purchasing power, coupled with unemployment and bankruptcies, became common in the<br />

industrialized world and resulted in an economic depression. To what extent did these events<br />

impact the respective representations of ―the other‖ in France and Germany‘s discourses on sport<br />

during the Summer of 1932? This question is the focus of a press analysis based on a selection of<br />

French and German sports and generalist newspapers. It would appear that press accounts of the<br />

1932 <strong>Olympic</strong>s reflected the ongoing process of redefining the relationship between France and<br />

Germany in a time of transition.<br />
