Line For at less five centuries attempts have been made to devise a system of
0 notation to record the sequence of movement in dances. Scholars believe
1 that the ancient Egyptians made use of hieroglyphs to do this and that
2 Romans employed a method of notation for formal gestures. However, the
3 earliest known attempt, recording in two manuscripts preserved in the
4 Municipal Archives of Cervera, Spain, dates from the second half of the

5 fifteenth century. From that time, many other systems have been devised.

6 Some were published and achieved a measure of popularity for a while, but

7 almost all, until the present day, fell eventually in disuse.

8 It is significant that music notation, which opened the way for development

9 in the art of music as we know it today, was first conceived in their modern
form in the eleventh century, but was not established as a uniform system
10
till the beginning of the eighteenth. Dance notation got off to a much later
11
start and has undergone a long success of false attempts. Those so many
12
successful beginnings were made is not surprising. Dance is more complex
13
than music lest it exists in space as well as in time and because the body
14
itself is capable of so many simultaneous modes of action. Consequently,
15
the problems of formulating a movement notation that can be easily written
16
and read are numerical.

OF TEOTIHUACAN
The city of Teotihuacan, which lay about 50 kilometers northeast of modern-day Mexico
City, began its growth by 200 -100 B.C. At its height, between about A.D. 150 and 700,
it probably had a population of more than 125,000 people and covered at least 20 square
kilometers. It had over 2,000 apartment complexes, a great market, a large number of
industrial workshops, an administrative center, a number of massive religious edifices,
and a regular grid pattern of streets and buildings. Clearly, much planning and central
control were involved in the expansion and ordering of this great metropolis. Moreover,
Page 9 of 18
the city had economic and perhaps religious contacts with most parts of Mesoamerica
(modern Central America and Mexico).
How did this tremendous development take place, and why did it happen in the
Teotihuacan Valley? Among the main factors are Teotihuacan's geographic location on a
natural trade route to the south and east of the Valley of Mexico, the obsidian resources
in the Teotihuacan Valley itself, and the valley’s potential for extensive irrigation. The
exact role of other factors is much more difficult to pinpoint - for instance,
Teotihuacan’s religious significance as a shrine, the historical situation in and around the
Valley of Mexico toward the end of the first millennium B.C., the ingenuity and
foresightedness of Teotihuacan’s elite, and, finally, the impact of natural disasters, such
as the volcanic eruptions of the late first millennium B.C.
This last factor is at least circumstantially implicated in Teotihuacan’s rise. Prior to 200
B.C., a number of relatively small centers coexisted in and near the Valley of Mexico.
Around this time, the largest of these centers, Cuicuilco, was seriously affected by a
volcanic eruption, with much of its agricultural land covered by lava. With Cuicuilco
eliminated as a potential rival, any one of a number of relatively modest towns might
have emerged as a leading economic and political power in Central Mexico. The
archaeological evidence clearly indicates, though, that Teotihuacan was the center that
did arise as the predominant force in the area by the first century A.D.
It seems likely that Teotihuacan’s natural resources—along with the city elite’s ability to
recognize their potential—gave the city a competitive edge over its neighbors. The
valley, like many other places in Mexican and Guatemalan highlands, was rich in
obsidian. The hard volcanic stone was a resource that had been in great demand for many
years, at least since the rise of the Olmecs (a people who flourished between 1200 and
400 B.C.), and it apparently had a secure market. Moreover, recent research on obsidian
tools found at Olmec sites has shown that some of the obsidian obtained by the Olmecs
originated near Teotihuacan. Teotihuacan obsidian must have been recognized as a
valuable commodity for many centuries before the great city arose.
Long-distance trade in obsidian probably gave the elite residents of Teotihuacan access
to a wide variety of exotic goods, as well as a relatively prosperous life. Such success
may have attracted immigrants to Teotihuacan. In addition, Teotihuacan’s elite may have
Page 10 of 18
consciously attempted to attract new inhabitants. It is also probable that as early as 200
B.C. Teotihuacan may have achieved some religious significance and its shrine (or
shrines) may have served as an additional population magnet. Finally, the growing
population was probably fed by increasing the number and size of irrigated fields.
The picture of Teotihuacan that emerges is a classic picture of positive feedback among
obsidian mining and working, trade, population growth, irrigation, and religious tourism.
The thriving obsidian tourism, for example, would necessitate more miners, additional
manufacturers of obsidian tools, and additional traders to carry the goods to new
markets. All this led to increased wealth, which in turn would attract more immigrants to
Teotihuacan. The growing power of the elite, who controlled the economy, would give
them the means to physically coerce people to move to Teotihuacan and serve as
additions to the labor force. More irrigation works would have to be built to feed the
growing population, and this resulted in more power and wealth for the elite.

Television and Sport

when the medium becomes the stadium

A.

The relationship between television and sports is not widely thought of as problematic.
For many people, television is a simple medium through which sports can be played,
replayed, slowed down, and of course conveniently transmitted live to homes across the
planet. What is often overlooked, however, is how television networks have reshaped the
very foundations of an industry that they claim only to document. Major television
stations immediately seized the revenue-generating prospects of televising sports and this
has changed everything, from how they are played to who has a chance to watch them.

Page 13 of 18
B.

Before television, for example, live matches could only be viewed in person. For the
majority of fans, who were unable to afford tickets to the top-flight matches, or to travel
the long distances required to see them, the only option was to attend a local game
instead, where the stakes were much lower. As a result, thriving social networks and
sporting communities formed around the efforts of teams in the third and fourth divisions
and below. With the advent of live TV, however, premier matches suddenly became
affordable and accessible to hundreds of millions of new viewers. This shift in viewing
patterns vacuumed out the support base of local clubs, many of which ultimately folded.

C.

For those on the more prosperous side of this shift in viewing behaviour, however, the
financial rewards are substantial. Television assisted in derailing long-held concerns in
many sports about whether athletes should remain amateurs or ‘go pro’, and replaced this
system with a new paradigm where nearly all athletes are free to pursue stardom and to
make money from their sporting prowess. For the last few decades, top-level sports men
and women have signed lucrative endorsement deals and sponsorship contracts, turning
many into multi-millionaires and also allowing them to focus full-time on what really
drives them. That they can do all this without harming their prospects at the Olympic
Games and other major competitions is a significant benefit for these athletes.

D.

The effects of television extend further, however, and in many instances have led to
changes in sporting codes themselves. Prior to televised coverage of the Winter
Olympics, for example, figure skating involved a component in which skaters drew
‘figures’ in the ice, which were later evaluated for the precision of their shapes. This
component translated poorly to the small screen, as viewers found the whole procedure,
including the judging of minute scratches on ice, to be monotonous and dull. Ultimately,
figures were scrapped in favour of a short programme featuring more telegenic twists and
jumps. Other sports are awash with similar regulatory shifts - passing the ball back to the
goalkeeper was banned in football after gameplay at the 1990 World Cup was deemed
overly defensive by television viewers.
Page 14 of 18
E.

In addition to insinuating changes into sporting regulation, television also tends to favour
some individual sports over others. Some events, such as the Tour de France, appear to
benefit: on television it can be viewed in its entirety, whereas on-site enthusiasts will
only witness a tiny part of the spectacle. Wrestling, perhaps due to an image problem that
repelled younger (and highly prized) television viewers, was scheduled for removal from
the 2020 Olympic Games despite being a founding sport and a fixture of the Olympics
since 708 BC. Only after a fervent outcry from supporters was that decision overturned.

F.

Another change in the sporting landscape that television has triggered is the framing of
sports not merely in terms of the level of skill and athleticism involved, but as personal
narratives of triumph, shame and redemption on the part of individual competitors. This
is made easier and more convincing through the power of close-up camera shots, profiles
and commentary shown during extended build-ups to live events. It also attracts
television audiences - particularly women - who may be less interested in the intricacies
of the sport than they are in broader ‘human interest’ stories. As a result, many viewers
are now more familiar with the private agonies of famous athletes than with their record
scores or match- day tactics.

G.

And what about the effects of male television viewership? Certainly, men have always
been willing to watch male athletes at the top of their game, but female athletes
participating in the same sports have typically attracted far less interest and, as a result,
have suffered greatly reduced exposure on television. Those sports where women can
draw the crowds - beach volleyball, for example - are often those where female
participants are encouraged to dress and behave in ways oriented specifically toward a
male demographic.

H.

Does all this suggest the influence of television on sports has been overwhelmingly
negative? The answer will almost certainly depend on who among the various
Page 15 of 18
stakeholders is asked. For all those who have lost out - lower-league teams, athletes
whose sports lack a certain visual appeal - there are numerous others who have benefitted
enormously from the partnership between television and sports, and whose livelihoods
now depend on it.
