\"redbull\"\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last weekend I found myself re-reading The Double Vision<\/em> in between intervals of watching sports on TV.\u00a0 Not only were all four major North American leagues in action on the same weekend, but there were a number of sports events that I was especially interested in: Paula Radcliffe<\/a>\u2019s attempt to win her fourth New York marathon, the last race of the Formula 1<\/a> season at the futuristic new track in Abu Dhabi, the NASCAR<\/a> race at the legendary Talladega circuit, a Leafs-Canadiens game, and Brett Favre<\/a>\u2019s return to Green Bay as a Minnesota Viking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Northrop Frye does not give the impression of being someone who was much interested in sports, and I started wondering idly about the role of sports in ideas of liberal education (Newman says in the Idea of a University<\/em> that \u201cthere are bodily exercises which are liberal, and mental exercises which are not so\u201d), and about how sports would fit into Frye\u2019s discussion of primary and secondary concerns.\u00a0 The relationship between literature and sports is sometimes problematic: often in North American culture it is typified by in a comment I once overheard at a holiday party: \u201cI hope you had a good Christmas, with no books and lots of sports equipment.\u201d\u00a0 But St. Paul was not averse to athletic metaphors, and Tom Brown\u2019s Schooldays<\/em> inspired a tradition of fiction that continues in the games of Quidditch in the Harry Potter books.\u00a0 There is also a tradition of cultivating the body as well as the mind that finds expression in the Renaissance ideal of the courtier; I like to draw students\u2019 attention to the fact that Sir Philip Sidney begins his \u201cApology for Poetry\u201d with an anecdote concerning horsemanship.\u00a0 The first time I ever heard of Marcel Proust was by reading an essay about sport in The Remembrance of Things Past<\/em> in Sports Illustrated<\/em> \u00a0(I kid you not: check out the SI Vault<\/a><\/em>, 17 December 1973).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike critics such as Stanley Fish, Frye is not given to sporting metaphors, though one does turn up in an incidental way in The Double Vision<\/em>.\u00a0 Illustrating the difference between a purposeless and a purposeful repetition, Frye writes that the latter \u201cis habit or practice repetition that leads to the acquiring of a skill, like practising a sport or a musical instrument\u201d (52).\u00a0 Of course, it is the musical example that he goes on to develop.\u00a0 Because I teach at a university with a strong athletics programme, I often find myself using the sports analogy that Frye employs here, saying something along the lines of \u201cThere are a few people who are natural athletes and don\u2019t need to practice, just as there are some people who are brilliant scholars who don\u2019t need to study much, but most of us have to work hard to achieve anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his discussion of the fulfillment of primary concerns in human civilization, Frye talks of the necessity for both work and play.\u00a0 The latter \u201copens up a world of freedom and leisure out of which the typically human form of consciousness comes, and it produces the creative arts.\u201d\u00a0 The creative arts, in turn \u201cset up models of what I have been calling primary concerns\u201d (DV<\/em> 28-9).\u00a0 Can we say that sports transforms activities that exist in the world of nature, such as running away from predators or fighting for survival, into forms of play such as competitive running or football?\u00a0 Are such forms of play models of primary concerns?\u00a0 If sport is part of the fulfilling of primary concerns, does it too often get displaced into secondary concerns by economic factors or nationalism?\u00a0<\/p>\n

I suppose one could also view sports as a kind of mythological world of its own, with its heroes and patterns of ascent and descent.\u00a0 Commentators and analysts interpret the careers of athletes in terms of triumph and tragedy, disgrace and redemption.\u00a0 If one wanted to view this negatively, one could view sports fanaticism as a kind of debased substitute religion; alternatively, one could that sports are part of a wider spiritual path for many.\u00a0 In any case, it is hard not to see the analogies between sports and cultural archetypes: for example, I was teaching Tennyson\u2019s \u201cUlysses\u201d (\u201cI cannot rest from travel: I will drink \/ Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy\u2019d \/ Greatly, have suffer\u2019d greatly\u201d) during one of Brett Favre\u2019s \u201cWill I retire or come back next year?\u201d dramas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I wonder whether there are other Frye-reading sports fans out there, and if so what you have to say on this topic.\u00a0 By the way, Paula Radcliffe came fourth in the marathon, the German whiz kid Sebastian Vettel won the Grand Prix, to place second in the World Championship, and Brett Favre beat his old team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
