Synopsis
Sport and the arts may compete for sponsors and for public
interest, but do they necessarily stand in opposition to one
another? Why is it so often assumed that sport is popular because
it is an unintelligent endeavour? And why is it apparently
inevitable that there is an element of elitism in the arts? Have we
drawn a false dichotomy between the two pursuits? What do we make
of arts practitioners and 'intellectuals' who are passionate about
sport? Or sports buffs who take a keen interest in literature,
music, theatre, dance and the visual arts? Sport versus Art is a
collection of essays, commentaries, personal memoirs and humorous
pieces attempting to answer these and other questions about a
fraught relationship at the heart of South Africa’s public life.
There has never been a publication of this kind – it brings
together a range of contributions from sport and arts journalists,
arts practitioners, academics and other writers. The title's
appearance in 2010 is timely; the links between sport, the arts and
public life in South Africa will continue to be a significant part
of national discussions and debates at every level, from the
shebeen and the braai all the way to parliament.
