چکیده

This paper examines the relationship between the Revue Olympique (monthly publication that first appeared in 1901), the Modern Olympic Movement and modern culture. Specifically, it demonstrates that the Revue Olympique provided a link between the ideology of the Modern Olympic Movement and the discourse of modernism. According to Art Herman (1994), modernism specifies a series of suppositions that defined an aesthetic-artistic movement which seemed to have formed in earnest in the latter part of the nineteenth century. It focuses on the period between 1894 and 1915. Although the first edition of the Revue Olympique was published in 1901, the study also considers newsletters and bulletins that preceded its debut.

Primary sources include the Revue Olympique, administrative documents from the International Olympic Committee, personal correspondence of Pierre de Coubertin, as well as a review of other sport magazines and journals from this period. The Revue Olympique as published exclusively in French during these years:
