The study is based above all on unique correspondence between the members of the course, namely a correspondence book circulated among them between 18. This is done by means of a collective biographical study of the women’s course at the Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics in Stockholm from 1891 to 1893. The aim of the study is to analyze the careers of women gymnastics directors about the turn of the century in 1900. Swedish gymnastics Kumlien Body Education Handbooks History of Education By analyzing Ludvig Kumlien’s guidebooks, we observed that the gymnastics he divulged in French territory were transformed through contact with a new culture, becoming new gymnastics, different from that proposed by Ling and taught in the CIG.
To do so, we mobilized as sources the handbooks written by Kumlien and his partners and newspaper reports from the countries in which his writings circulated.
What do these handbooks reveal? Can we assert that the gymnastics promoted by Kumlien is Ling’s gymnastics? Or that it is the same gymnastics he learned at CIG? In contact with a culture different from his own, does Kumlien alter the gymnastics he learned? Thus, this article aims to understand which gymnastics Ludvig Kumlien has promoted in his handbooks. Among them was Ludvig Gideon Kumlien (1874-1934), a Swedish doctor-gymnast who graduated from the Stockholm Institute, who moved in 1895 to Paris, France, where he carried out different actions to promote Ling’s gymnastics, among them publishing handbooks. Swedish gymnastics, systematized by Pehr Henrik Ling (1776-1839) at the Stockholm Central Institute of Gymnastics (CIG), spread throughout the world, at least until the last decades of the 20th century, especially from the circulation of individuals trained at the CIG.
