Is some Olympic commentary sexist?
By Claire Bates, 11 August 2016
According to a recent study by Cambridge University Press. Researchers
analysed millions of words relating to men and women and Olympic sports
in the Cambridge English Corpus (CEC) and the Sport Corpus - massive
databases that include news articles and posts on social media.
The study revealed common word combinations for female athletes
included aged, older, pregnant and married or unmarried. In contrast, top
word combinations for male athletes included fastest, strong, big and great.
It also found that the language around women in sport also focussed
disproportionately on appearance, clothes and personal lives.
It’s not just language where there is a difference in attitude - female Olympic
athletes are still garnering far fewer column inches and given less TV airtime
than their male counterparts. Researchers found men were mentioned twice as
often in the CEC and three times more often in the Sports Corpus.
However, some things are changing. The proportion of female athletes
competing at the Olympics has increased with every games since 1964 when
it was 13.2%. By 1988, 26.1% of competitors were women and in Rio 2016 it
is 45%.

Economic Recession Has Impact on
Museums And Cultural Centres
SILAS MARTÍ - 03/22/2016
Long gone is the golden age of blockbuster exhibitions that marked the past
few years of Brazil’s cultural scene. The country’s museums have maintained
an ominous silence in relation to their plans for this year of recession. This is
not owing to any desire for secrecy, but rather due to the dominating sense of
uncertainty. For many months, the economic crisis has been quietly gnawing
away at cultural institutions, resulting in devastating staff cuts in almost all of
the country’s museums. However, it is only now that the effects of the downturn
are rearing their ugly head in the public eye, with the start of what ought to be
the exhibition season with the arrival of the São Paulo art fair in two weeks time.
