520 |a Literature on totalitarianism has systematically ignored the development of sport as an essential aspect of the ideology and practices of totalitarian regimes. This void is addressed by considering the conceptual grounding, politics, cultural form and legacy of totalitarian sport. Three different conceptions of totalitarianism are employed to analyse various aspects of sport. The historical‐generic version examines the role of sport as a promise and solution to the problems faced by totalitarian states. The political science‐structural version reveals that a key variable in fascist and communist sport policy was the metaphor of the human body and its transformation in to a public organ - the body as a politicum. The socio‐religious version exposes the capacity of totalitarian sport to mobilise mass support from the population in order to deliver its promises. Finally, the totalitarian project is discussed as manifesting itself in sport as a cognitive process responsible for creating a system of knowledge which persists in any post‐totalitarian reality.
