More-Than-Human Sport and Movement
What are creative more-than-human methodologies, and why might qualitative sport and movement scholars be turning to such approaches? This curated dialogue draws upon an online seminar featuring Diti Bhattacharya, Clifton Evers, Lyndsay Hayhurst, and Emma Rich. In this article, the scholars engage in conversation with each other and the curators (Marianne Clark, Allison Jeffrey, Pirkko Markula, and Holly Thorpe) about the creative possibilities o…
Doing dance research in pandemic times
Over the past two years, our global dance community has faced many challenges while coming to terms with a health crisis that drastically altered home and working lives. In this article, we focus on how dance scholars can work collaboratively during extended periods of isolation. We begin by overviewing the drastically altered environment of dance education during pandemic, then direct our focus to the ways that we, as dance scholars, were also a…

Embodied collaborative writing in graduate dance education
This paper explores how embodied writing can inform teaching, learning, and research presentation in graduate-level dance education in a kinesiology faculty. The focus is on a graduate dance course “The Dancing Body in Motion”, which combines the anatomical analysis of the physical body, social theory, and lived dance experiences to promote more embodied and holistic teaching and learning. The authors, an instructor and a student of the course, s…
Diffractive Respondings and Cutting Together-Apart
In this 'paper,' we share our process of exploring the possibilities for the emergence of new ways of knowing-thinking-doing response-able collaboration. In an effort to come 'together-apart' as author-collaborators, working from our different positionings and locations in the world, we shared text and images of the various ways the ideas from individual papers (nodal points) and our diffractive processes were moving (with) us. Sharing these crea…
The Special Issue as Diffractive Process
In this article, we share a curated version of a Zoom meeting in which we come together-apart to articulate our experiences of the diffractive review process. In the later part of the dialogue, we turn toward imagining the possibilities for creatively exploring ways to represent how the ideas from this collaborative process travel with us, into our everyday lives. We discuss the ethical and political response-abilities in such diffractive collabo…
Human Bodies in Motion
The human body in motion is both a material body and a body inscribed with sociocultural meanings. The new materialist premise of examining phenomena, such as bodies in motion, as hybrids of matter and meaning now offers a pathway to seamlessly bring nature and culture together in a more unified research agenda. Barad's agentic realism, particularly, presents a promising option to analyze physically active bodies as socio-material practices throu…
It Can Be Magic
Professional dancers typically retire before age 40. Although the physical requirements for dance performance are often considered the reason for retirement, there is an increasing number dance researchers who demonstrate that the idealization of youthfulness on the stage is also a result of complex cultural, social, and economic realities and as such, in need of critique. As a group of mature women dancers who continue to perform, we aim to crit…
Women's Articulations of Aging
In this article, we draw upon the experiences of mature recreational dancers who participated in classes facilitated by a professional ballet company and catered to older adults. Moving with 11 women through a 10-week ballet course, and immersing ourselves in the empirical material, we recognized opportunities for broadening our analysis of aging dancing bodies. Inspired by a Latourian understanding of bodies and a recent new materialist turn in …
Barre Matters
Employing a variety of theoretical approaches, feminist researchers have critiqued the fitness industry of its singular emphasis on the impossible, narrowly defined feminine body ideal that is likely to cause more mental (e.g., body dissatisfaction) and physical ill health (eating disorders, injuries) than improve fitness. With the focus on social construction of gendered identities, there has been less problematisation of the materiality of the …
Dance, movement and leisure cultures
This special issue on Dance, Movement and Leisure Cultures showcases theoretically informed articles illuminating different ways of knowing about the passions, actions, and practices within the economic, political, social, and cultural contexts of leisure-based dance. This introduction contextualises the content of the special issue within the previous dance research. Nuanced and detailed, these studies have examined diverse dance styles from bal…
What is New About New Materialism for Sport Sociology? Reflections on Body, Movement, and Culture
The new material turn in social sciences and humanities has drawn attention to how the material interacts with the social in the world where both human and non-human actors produce power relations. To include the material objects and their environments within the social analysis, new materialists argue for a new onto-epistemology that departs from the humanist social constructionism. To explore what this might mean for sport sociologists, I discu…
Foucault at the barre and other surprises
Ballet is a popular activity among girls and women and is becoming increasingly visible within popular and fitness cultures. Much dance research has focused on the experiences of professional ballet dancers and on professional, elite, or university settings. Furthermore, ballet is often critiqued as a disciplinary practice and for celebrating an unrealistic bodily aesthetic. However, less research has focused on the experiences of recreational da…
The Intersections of Dance and Sport
Is sport art? Is dance a sport? Such questions are asked on the pages of social media as well as on the pages of research journals. Debating whether dancers are athletes or sport has aesthetic qualities can reveal broader issues regarding the current health conscious, competitive, and commercialized (neo-liberal) culture: What do dance and sport do when they intersect in the larger operations of power that currently favor particular kinds of phys…
Sport and the Body
Dovetailing Brian Turner’s seminal text The Body & Society , sport sociologists were awakened to the need to include examinations of the body in their research agendas. For example, in their influential article, J. Loy, D. A. Andrews, and R. Rinehart called for bringing the body into the sociology of sport. C. L. Cole reviewed the state of body studies in the sociology of sport. This chapter aims to develop some of the themes identified by Cole t…
Sport and the Body
Since the late 1980s, the body has been a central aspect of sport sociological analysis. Examinations of the sporting body have evolved through several theoretical traditions with normalization as the dominant theme for sociologists of sport. For example, inspired by the work of Norbert Elias, several sport sociologists have looked at how the (male) sporting body has become more civilized when molded through different figurations of power over ti…
The Only Thing I Am Guilty of Is Taking Too Many Jump Shots1”
In November 2010, the US media reported that basketball player Diana Taurasi tested positive for a banned substance while playing in Turkey. In this study, we explore the media coverage of Taurasi’s positive drug test from a Deleuzian perspective. We consider the media coverage as an assemblage (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987; Malins, 2004) to analyze how Taurasi’s drug using body is articulated with the elite female sporting body in the coverage of he…
Assessing the sociology of sport
On the 50th anniversary of the ISSA and IRSS, Pirkko Markula, a leading poststructuralist scholar, assesses the trajectory, challenges, and future for sociology of sport research on exercise, fitness and physical cultures. The trajectory of more openly politicized examinations of power in sport as cultural studies entered Anglo-American sociology of sport in the 1990s coincided with an expanded focus on the cultures of physical activity and exerc…
(Im)Mobile bodies
The purpose of this research was to examine semi-professional contemporary dancers' experiences with injuries. Similar to athletes, dancers are often injured. Much of the previous research on dance injuries, however, has focused on ballet where the professional requirements and high technical level create demanding work conditions. Semi-professional contemporary dance differs from this context due to its technique and work environment. In this st…
Embodied Subjectivities
There has been a longstanding divide between the sociology and psychology of exercise despite common interests in individual subjectivity and identity construction through exercise practices. In this paper, I aim to find possible intersections for the two disciplines by using theoretical insights from discursive and critical psychology as well as sociocultural research on embodied experiences in exercise. Drawing from both psychological and socio…
Reading Yoga
Postural yoga has become a very popular physical activity in the United States. In this process, yoga has also transformed into multiple different forms. In this article, I employ Foucault’s theoretical work to understand how yoga has become appropriated in the U.S. media by analyzing the covers of a popular yoga magazine, the Yoga Journal. My Foucauldian discourse analysis indicated that while the Yoga Journal covers have changed quite significa…
Qualitative Research for Physical Culture

Dancing the ‘Data’
This article traces a process of combining dance and narrative text into performance ethnography. It focuses on how interviews collected during an ongoing research project on serious contemporary dancers' experiences with injuries can ‘be danced’ in a research presentation. The author reflects how the empirical material from the interviews informed a narrative text that, combined with contemporary dance choreography interpreted through Deleuzian …
Beyond psychopathology
As David Smail and Janet Bostock (1999: p. 78) noted a decade ago '[c]larifying the role of ideology and culture as ''distal'' influences on subjective experience is at once one of the most important and one of the most difficult tasks facing community psychology.' It remains equally important and, perhaps, just as difficult today. This special issue comprises a series of critical explorations of the ways in which subjectivities and subjective ex…
Affect[ing] Bodies
This paper argues for a performative methodology that uses body's affect to create change in the current subjectivation to femininity. It locates this discussion into a context of fitness instruction to explore how a researcher can assume a role of a public intellectual through performative pedagogy. It is divided into four parts. The first part examines how critical pedagogy has been utilized previously within physical cultural studies to find w…
Firm but Shapely, Fit but Sexy, Strong but Thin
This paper aims to reconstruct the cultural dialogue surrounding the female body image in aerobics. To do this I have used several methods: ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and media analysis. I found that the media ideal is a contradiction: firm but shapely, fit but sexy, strong but thin. Likewise, women’s relationships with the media image are contradictory: They struggle to obtain the ideal body, but they also find their battles ridiculous.…
The Technologies of the Self
Following Michel Foucault, feminist sport scholars have demonstrated how women's physical activity can act as a technology of domination that anchors women into a discoursive web of normalizing practices. There has been less emphasis on Foucault's later work that focuses on the individual's role of changing the practices of domination. Foucault argues that human beings turn themselves into subjects through what he labels "the technologies of the …
No Pain Is Sane after All
In this article we present research that used Foucauldian theorizing to examine the articulations between masculinities and men’s rugby union experiences of pain, fear, and pleasure. Data was collected via semistructured interviews with 14 New Zealand men of diverse rugby backgrounds. Results suggested that although rugby provided an influential discursive space for the negotiation of masculinities, these negotiations did not result in the simple…
Tuning into One’s Self
This article explores the application of Michel Foucault’s technologies of the self—practices of freedom that are characterized by ethics of self-care, critical awareness, and aesthetic self-stylization. Foucault’s argument states that the technologies of self can act as practices of freedom from disciplinary, discursive body practices. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this study examines the intersections of Foucault’s theory with commercial fit…
Beyond the Perfect Body
This article examines how fitness magazines address women's body image distortion (BID). The discussion derives primarily from three articles published in Self, Shape, and The New Weekly . The author briefly outlines how these magazines characterize BID as a common illness and how they advise their readers to improve their 'out of whack' body image. From a Foucauldian feminist perspective, the author analyzes why the magazines devote space to cou…
Deleuze and the Body Without Organs
This article examines the possibilities for resistant feminine body identity through the lens of Deleuzian feminism. To do this, the author relies on Deleuze's critique of philosophical thought that constructs identity as a series of dichotomous oppositions. According to Deleuze, this process takes place within three dominant strata-organism, significance, and subjectification-that limit the creative potential of theorizing bodily identity. The a…

Body-Movement-Change
This article focuses on dance as a performance ethnographic project. It is grounded on Denzin's vision of a social science that resembles a performance to become a sociopolitical act. As inherently political, this performative social science allows us to move toward the spaces of 'a progressive pragmatism.' Furthermore, this article examines the possibilities of dance making to change social science thinking instead of using dance as a representa…
As a Tourist in Tahiti
This article evolved from a disappointing holiday I had in Tahiti. First, I present my Tahitian experience in a storied form. Then, after condemning Tahiti as an unworthy leisure resort, I examine my own expectations as a Western woman and trained ethnographer. I discuss how I longed for an exotic, unspoiled, Pacific pleasure paradise in a distant periphery and how I searched for something in Tahiti that I defined as authentic. I discuss how thes…

The Press Conference as a Performance
Pre-event sports press conferences remain largely unexamined by sport sociologists. In this article we present a thick description (Geertz, 1973) of a recent press conference staged on behalf of the Ethiopian long-distance runner, Haile Gebrselassie. We first discuss the workings of whiteness in relation to the ways in which a black Ethiopian distance runner is imagined by Western sports journalists. Then, drawing on the work of a number of perfo…

Sport and the Body
Given the centrality of the body in sport performance, it might be assumed that the corporeality of athletes has been an essential facet of sport sociological analysis. Despite its vital role, however, the body has occupied “an absent presence” in this research and only since the late 1980s have sport sociologists expressed a growing interest in this topic
