Abstract

his article presents the works of gymnastics, physical education and sport that were published in Spain between 1808 and 1919 in the field of the army. The analysis of the content in situ (using primary sources) of the most significant works serves to (re)contextualise the texts in the configuration of gymnastics and sports activity in the army, and also enables the ideological and social discourse of the texts themselves to be appraised. We conclude that these works project an institutionalised and nationalistic discourse aimed to the subordination and management of civil society.

    3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties, including when the Licensed Material is used other than for NonCommercial purposes.

  3. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
