life and work

After training as a qualified sports teacher from 1960 to 1963, Brohm taught at the Lycée Condorcet in Paris and continued his studies at the Sorbonne , where he completed his habilitation in 1977 ( Docteur d'État ). Due to his unorthodox Marxist positions, however, he was not given a professorship by the French state for a long time. It was not until 1988 that he was appointed professor of education from the University of Caen , after which he moved to a chair in sociology at the University of Montpellier . Brohm, who speaks excellent German, has u. a. Works by Martin Heidegger translated. In Germany he became known through the work of Arnd Krüger . His discussion with Hajo Bernett on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1936 Summer Olympics clarifies the positions. While for Bernett the Olympic Games were perverted by National Socialism and exploited in the sense of National Socialist propaganda , for Brohm only National Socialism as the body cult of fascism is able to carry out the Games so perfectly and in accordance with the ideas of its inventor Pierre de Coubertin .

While Brohm was revered by the French left for his criticism and the call for a boycott of the Football World Cup 1978 in Argentina during the military dictatorship , he called for a boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow two years later , as he was the political situation in the Thought the Soviet Union was no better, after which the same leftists excluded him from their ranks.
