ABSTRACT

In this paper, I argue that sportspersonship is a means of performing fundamental sociality; it is about the conversion of a foe (inimicus) into an enemy (hostis). Drawing on Carl Schmitt’s distinction between enemy and foe – inimicus and hostis – as well as his discussion of the ius publicum Europaeum, I suggest a model of sportspersonship that sees it as expressing the competitive relations between equals that undergird the most minimal form of sociality; relations that any deeper union takes as its foundation. It is the performance of this fundamental sociality, I argue, that grounds the value of sport in general (though this does not mean that there cannot be other, contingent values in sport).

摘要

在本文中，我认为体育人格是进行基本社会性的一种手段。它是关于将敌人 ( inimicus ) 转变为敌人 ( hostis )。借鉴卡尔施密特对敌人和敌人的区分——inimicus和hostis——以及他对ius publicum Europaeum的讨论，我提出了一种体育人格模型，将其视为表达平等者之间的竞争关系，这种关系是最基本的社会性形式的基础；任何更深层次的联盟都以关系为基础。我认为，正是这种基本社会性的表现，奠定了体育价值的基础（尽管这并不意味着运动中不能有其他的或有的价值）。
