Abstract

内容記述

Children's performances have been used often for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. Recently, the snow children in the 1998 Nagano Games, the small girl Webster's reconciliation performance in the 2000 Sydney Games, and the child of fire in the 2002 Salt Lake Games are some good examples. These performances were not just utilized for the spectacle to celebrate the opening of the global mega-event. Moreover, it can be said that the message, created by the adult generation of organizers, could be sent to the audience and spectators worldwide as a subtle image of the innocence and pure existence of children. Were there the same kinds of messages in the 2004 Athens Games? What kind of meaning was represented in light of the Olympic philosophy that is Olympism by these existence of the children? Although there were not so many children in the stadium, nine years old boy, Michalis PATSATZIS, played an important role in the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Games. This boy rode on the paper boat and was waving a small Greek national flag while smiling at the audience. However it was not easily possible for the spectators to distinguish his performance from the stands. In that sense, it is clear that his performance was designed to convey some messages to the television viewers. While borrowing a child's figure, although this scene can be interpreted as a kind of expression of the praises of Christianity and the Euro-centrism that emphasizes the Greeks as forerunners to, and philosophical origin of, the European and American civilizations, there were no media comments about it. It was a kind of ideological gimmick, which can represent such an adult intention not so frankly, but, rather, softly. Besides the boy PATSATZIS, there were a few children who put on the carpenter trousers of five colors while holding sprigs of olive branches in their hands at the appearance of the Olympic flag, and boys and girls who joined the choir and sang the Olympic hymn in praise of the Olympics. These children were not so conspicuous and possibly there were not many spectators who noticed them from the stands. In this sense, it can be said that children were absent from the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Games as compared to other Games. In this paper, the meaning of children's appearances in the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Games, the cause of the absence of the children, and the after-effects of the absence of children in the ceremony will be discussed from the philosophical hermeneutics and the Olympic philosophical standpoint that is Olympism.
