Manpower Lectures – #3 The New Mail Order
Manpower Lectures – #3 The New Mail Order

6—7pm

Members $100, Non-Members $190, Students $80 Book now

When Eugen Sandow, the father of modern bodybuilding, toured New Zealand in the summer of 1902-03, his aim was to reshape the nation. Long before the likes of Charles Atlas peddled mail order muscle programmes, the Sandow System was embraced by men throughout New Zealand. Eager to flex and pose and dream of a new male order, these men joined local gyms, entered bodybuilding contests, and even strutted their stuff in local beauty competitions. In this lecture, Dr Caroline Daley reveals the bodies of early twentieth century men and questions whether our fixation with rugby players, farmers and soldiers means we’re missing the pleasure that comes from gazing upon the world’s most perfectly developed man and his local acolytes.

This lecture is the third in a four-part series, Manpower Lectures: Antiquity, aesthetes and athleticism.

Tiens, papa, pourquoi que l'eau arrive sur nous?... - Mon fils, je suis bien aise que vous m'adressiez cette question qui dénote que vous désirez vous instruire et sonder les mystères de la nature ... les flots arrivent sur le rivage par suite du FLUX qui est l'opposé du REFLUX ... l'un et l'autre effet ont pour cause, l'attraction des montagnes de la lune ... faites moi penser ce soir, mon fils, de vous expliquer avec la même clarté, le système lunaire. [Well, Papa, why does the water come to us ...? My son, I am very glad that you ask me this question, which denotes that you desire to be informed and investigate the mysteries of nature ... the waves come towards the beach as a consequence of the ebb which is in opposition to the flow ... The reason for the one or the other effect is the attraction of the mountains and the moon ... do remind me tonight, my son, and I shall explain to you with the same clarity the lunar theory.]
