Title: Chariots of Fire rerun: locating film's cultural capital on a contemporary stageAuthor: RICE, Tom Article type: ArticleLanguage: English
Description: Examines the title sequence of 'Chariots of Fire' (1981), which depicts members of the 1924 British Olympic team training on the beach at Broadstairs in Kent (filmed at St Andrews, Scotland). Draws on Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital to analyse the ways in which the sequence has been interpreted, utilised and reworked across a range of places and times, with particular reference to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
