HUMAN RIGHTS THROUGH SPORTS AND ART
Abstract
Over time, since the ancient times until today, there have been events in sports history concerning the right to freedom of expression. The important thing was that the sports festival highlighted this situation, as shown in the history of Kallipateira in the 5th century BC. [8], - that of the mother who did not have the right to see and admire her Olympian son, Peisidoros and who even faced the death penalty - and that story of the American 200-meter Olympic sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos (Mexico, 1968), who at the awards ceremony with their fists raised and wearing black gloves, barefoot during the recitation of the American national anthem, protested both against US racism towards the black race as well as poverty [9]. These events that were recorded in the history of sports have not left unmoved the artistic community which through the representational expressive activities has framed these events giving them a special tone of value. The purpose of this paper is to study the timeless reflexive relationship between human rights and sporting activity but also the way in which it has been captured until today by artistic activity. The method of literature review and content analysis was used. The research sample consisted of sports stories, works of art, historical events, poems, etc. The Greek intellect body of the interwar period praised the history of the first modern “Kallipateira” by writing an excellent poem that speaks of the right of women to exercise and in life generally, of courage and risk, but also of the respect and responsibility that constitute the pillars of support for dignity and human rights. In conclusion, through the reference made to the relationship between Sports - Art and Human Rights, the present research study concludes in the view of L. Wittgenstein "in the extreme depth aesthetics and ethics coincide".
