dc.description.abstract (摘要) | 我的研究專案定位於體育和城市政治歷史的交會點。我研究在 1970-1983 年的混亂時 期,美國的第二大城市中美國職棒大聯盟芝加哥小熊隊的多方動向。這是一個城市衰落的 故事,芝加哥早已不再被認為是「勞動的城市」。芝加哥曾深受城市內升高的謀殺率、種 族動亂和藍領經濟的衰退所苦。同樣地,小熊隊這些年也一直在逆境中掙扎,歷經輸球、 未能完全融合黑人球員或吸引非裔美國芝加哥球迷等挫敗。 然而,1970 年代和 1980 年代初期,可看到芝加哥復甦和小熊隊近期成功的趨勢。芝 加哥經歷了民主的劇變,覺醒的非裔美國人、西班牙裔美國人和 LGBT (男女同性戀者、 雙性戀者和跨性別者) 開始參與政治。芝加哥傳統民主黨核心人物政治的挑戰在 1983 年哈 羅德·華盛頓當選為這個城市唯一的非裔美國人市長達到高點。此外,芝加哥還開始轉型 旅遊和資訊類經濟,藉此擴張城市的經濟復興。 在此同時,小熊隊建立了全國有線電視帝國,來提升他們的吸引力。小熊隊和他們的 老式體育場–瑞格利球場 (1914 年開業),成功擄獲了棒球迷渴望跟隨「惹人憐愛的輸家」 的想像。 | |
dc.description.abstract (摘要) | My project is situated at the intersection of sports and urban-political history. I examine the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball team in connection with broader trends within America’s Second City during the tumultuous years 1970-1983. This is the story of a city in decline, as Chicago was no longer perceived as the “city that works.” Chicago was plagued by an increased murder rate, racial unrest, and the decline of the blue-collar economy within the city. Similarly, the Cubs struggled these years, losing games and failing to fully integrate Black players or to attract African- American Chicagoans as fans. Yet, the 1970s and early 1980s also saw the seeds planted for both Chicago’s revival and the Cubs’ recent success. Chicago experienced an explosion of democracy, an awakening of African- American. Hispanic, and LGBT political participation. The challenge to the traditional Democraticmachine politics in Chicago culminated in the election in 1983 of Harold Washington, the city’s only African-American mayor. Chicago also saw the beginnings of a transformation to a tourism and information-based economy, with expanding pockets of urban renewal. The Cubs similarly expanded their appeal, building a nationwide cable television empire. The Cubs – and Wrigley Field, their old-fashioned stadium (opened 1914) – captured the imagination of baseball fans eager to follow baseball’s “loveable losers.” | |
