En 1983, David Goldblatt participa a une étude importante sur la pauvreté en Afrique du Sud. Sa tâche était de réaliser un essai photographique sur le transport des habitants du bantoustan KwaNdebele situé à une centaine de kilomètres au nord-est de Pretoria. Ses clichés dépeignent les trajets harassants de ses travailleurs qui partent en pleine nuit, ensommeillés, pour aller travailler à Pretoria et reviennent épuisés rejoindre leur foyer après avoir voyagé jusqu'à huit heures pour certains. Ce document d'une grande force est complété par des interviews et un essai sur l'histoire de KwaNdebele.

Global Transformations - Politics, Economics and Culture

The Olympic Games have become the single greatest festival of a universal and cosmopolitan humanity. Seventeen days of sporting competition watched and followed on every continent and in every country on the planet. Simply, the greatest show on earth. Yet when the modern games were inaugurated in Athens in 1896, the founders thought them a "display of manly virtue", an athletic celebration of the kind of amateur gentleman that would rule the world. How was such a ritual invented? Why did it prosper and how has it been so utterly transformed?In The Games, David Goldblatt - winner of the 2015 William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award - takes on a breathtakingly ambitious search for the answers and brilliantly unravels the complex strands of this history. Beginning with the Olympics as a sporting side show at the great Worlds Fairs of the Belle Epoque and its transformation into a global media spectacular, care of Hollywood and the Nazi party, The Games shows how sport and the Olympics had been a battlefield during the Cold War, a defining moment for social and economic change in host cities and countries, and a theatre of resistance for women and athletes of colour once excluded from the show. Illuminated with dazzling vignettes from over a century of Olympic competition - this stunningly researched history captures the excitement of sporting brilliance and the kaleidoscopic experience of the Games. It shows us how this sporting spectacle has come to reflect the world we hope to inhabit and the one we actually live in.
