The study examines the Dionysian (in Nietzsche's sense of the term) legacy of the modern Olympics, and discusses its impact with reference to four specific instances: Coubertin's Wagner-inspired theory of Olympianism; the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Barcelona (1992); Leni Riefenstahl's films of the Olympics (1936); the televising of the Sydney Games (2000).","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055354822896,"sku":"9783484660434","price":133.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783484660434_p0.jpg?v=1763724937","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783484660434","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
