【摘要】 作为奥运会前奏的圣火传递活动,是奥林匹克诸多文化活动独具特色和魅力的重要组成部分,吸引了全球几十亿人的注意,对奥林匹克运动乃至当今社会、经济、文化等领域产生了巨大而深远的影响,拥有无与伦比的美好形象与价值。圣火传递是主办城市和主办城市之外那些没有机会直接参与奥运会的人参与奥运会的重要途径,奥林匹克精神以及奥运会主办国、主办城市、途经地区和城市的人文精神在圣火传递以及奥运会结束之后继续得到继承和发扬。同时,圣火传递也成为各主办国竞展想象力和创造力的平台,各式各样独具特色的奥运火炬以及开幕式上最激动人心,最富有悬念的圣火点燃仪式,无不体现了体育与艺术,体育与科技,体育与创造力和想象力的完美结合,成为奥林匹克运动中最为珍贵的遗产之一。奥运圣火意蕴何在?又是如何传承下来的?往届奥运会圣火传递活动都有哪些成功经验可以借鉴,又有哪些缺憾和不足?它对奥林匹克运动,对当今社会产生了怎样的影响?这些都是进行奥林匹克研究不容忽视的问题,也是体育人文社会学研究需要认真思考和研究的问题。基于此,笔者选择“奥林匹克圣火传递的历史研究”这一课题,从圣火的起源和理念展开系统研究,一方面为北京奥运会圣火传递活动提供借鉴和参考,另一方面也为丰富奥林匹克文化研究做一些有益的尝试。根据研究需要,文章采用文献资料法、专家访谈法、系统分析法、评价分析法,从人类历史的“火文化”着手,按照时间顺序,对奥林匹克圣火传递活动的演变历程进行了全面的回顾和系统的梳理,并对圣火传递活动的规律特征进行探究和总结,认为现代奥运会圣火传递经历三个发展阶段:酝酿萌芽期(1896～1932年)、仪式形成期(1936～1980年)、创新发展期(1984至今)。在此基础上,文章对北京奥运会以及大型体育赛事的圣火传递活动从圣火采集、传递、点燃三个方面做出展望。更多还原
