GE Salon 2024-25 Past for Present: Tales of Human Bonds and Everyday Artifacts

Every bond of human affection and every artifact has its own unique evolution. Without a past, there can be no future to inherit. Lacking a future in the present makes it difficult to have hope. This year’s GE Salon delves into the history of human bonds and everyday artifacts, exploring a treasure trove of knowledge closely related to our lives.

Synopsis of Lecture:

很多人會說「體育還體育,政治還政治」,但其實體育運動的發展,例如奧運和現代足球,本來就是政治性的。不少政府會利用體育運動達致政治目的,而體育運動歷史上亦曾影響大國外交,帶來政治衝突,以至影響民族認同和國家形象等。本講座將從體育運動的歷史發展開始,用不同事例說明體育運動與政治息息相關。

Remarks:

In Cantonese (with sign language interpreting)

Free admission, all are welcome.
