Ah, but the difference between sport and classical fencing arises from
more than just the flick. It lies in a dynamic discursive power
relationship that has evolved over the past 100 years, with its roots in
privileged bodily knowledge, the rise of agonistic systems of sport
informed by nationalistic agendas, and the implied enforced conformity to
the resulting defining vocabulary that this Foucauldian power system
implies.
