Sounds of Asylum Bristol
This paper contributes to urban studies debates on the commons-as-practice by examining the “secretly public” musicking spaces co-created by people seeking asylum and allies in Bristol, UK—a city where the language of sanctuary coexists with state-sanctioned forms of slow violence and uneven processes of urban regeneration. The analysis draws on 18 months of ethnographic and participatory research with a group of around 60 men and women of divers…
Sites of intensity
This paper contributes to highlight new insights on the social and political dimensions of emotions experienced within leisure through a specific focus on the everyday lives of people seeking asylum in the UK. In doing so, we draw on and expand inter-disciplinary perspectives that have underlined how the affective intensities and (in)capacities of bodies, and the conditions through which these emerge in everyday lives, are central in the workings…
Contested bodies in a regenerating city
The following paper contributes to interdisciplinary debates at the intersection of informal sport/leisure, migration and urban studies. It does so by drawing on an ethnographic research with young men of migrant origins in Turin, Italy, and by addressing the relevance of parkour in the participants’ experiences and negotiations of ‘what it means to (not) belong’ in urban spaces. The focus on parkour provides a unique entry point to address the p…
Being at home and away
In this study, we discuss the intersection between tourism and migration. In doing so we interrogate how tourism and migration meet, interrelate, overlap and merge in multifaceted and fluid ways. We draw upon literature on transnational migration and on Sarah Ahmed’s work on the relationship between ‘strange encounters’ and home. These theoretical perspectives enable us to move away from an ‘ontology of the stranger’ and polarised views on migrat…
Parkour, Graffiti, and the Politics of (In)Visibility in Aestheticized Cityscapes
In the past decades, urban scholars have discussed at length how the production of aesthetically pleasing and consumption-enticing cityscapes has become the core of postindustrial urban economies. Critical analyses have underlined how the “dictatorship of the visual” characterizing these urban processes implies the expulsion from public life of “unacceptable” differences and conflicts within. While fundamental, these perspectives have not fully e…
More-than-human Perspectives on Physical Activity, Health and Education
Como Fox e Alldred (2020) consideram, o dualismo Cultura / Natureza forneceu aos filósofos, cientistas e cientistas sociais pós-iluministas uma maneira elegante de estabelecer limites para as respectivas preocupações das ciências sociais e naturais (ver também Barad, 2007; Braidotti, 2013; Fullagar et al., 2019). Este dualismo tem permitido a criação de distinções entre corpos e modos de estar-no-mundo "modernos" (leia-se "civilizados") e "tradic…

Music-making and forced migrants' affective practices of diasporic belonging
Amid the normalisation of xenophobic narratives surrounding migration, and an overarching ‘hostile environment’ regulating asylum in Britain, this paper explores music-making as a unique lens to highlight the negotiation of belonging, uncertainty and marginality amongst a group of fifty forced migrants in Bristol. Through a focus addressing the nexus between power, affect and the everyday, this paper discusses how the dehumanising processes that …
Leisure and Forced Migration
The contribution, based on an ethnographic research, looks at leisure through the lens of solidarity processes of active citizenship that involve refugees in marginal urban spaces in the city of Rome. In particular, it considers the relation between the dimension of leisure, as interpreted by activists and volunteers of the Baobab Experience association, in relation to the dimension of waiting among migrants in-transit, refugees and asylum seeker…
The productive turbulence and unresolved questions of ‘new’ materialist approaches to sport, leisure and physical culture
Sport, Physical Culture and the Moving Body is an important collection that will underpin and inform several perspectives and engagements-to-come with sport, leisure and physical culture. This volume meaningfully captures and expands the momentum created by feminist scholars who in the last decade have underlined the relevance of more-than-human theoretical orientations in addressing the domains of sport and leisure. In doing so, the book sets ou…
Pra homem, menino e mulher'? Problematizing the gender inclusivity discourse in capoeira
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian bodily discipline that has now become a global phenomenon. In 2014 the cultural significance of capoeira was recognized on the world stage when it was awarded the special protected status of an 'Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity' by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. In the application to this organisation, and in wider advertising material and practitioner literature, capoei…
Parkour, counter-conducts and the government of difference in post-industrial Turin
The following paper aims to offer a critical discussion of the unfolding politics of belonging and exclusion taking place in Turin’s regenerating cityscape as a way to illuminate the paradoxes, tensions and daily negotiations of emerging forms of social and spatial restructuring in the post-industrial city. In developing this analysis, we engage with an integrated methodological approach that privileges the voices and experiences of about 30 youn…
If I climb a wall of ten meters’
Rather than being seen as citizens, the children of immigrants are portrayed as a population to be controlled and contained across Europe. In Italy today, debates about cultural ‘authenticity’ and renewed nationalism accompany waves of moral panic that depict a country under siege by illegal and unwanted immigrants. Specifically in cities, immigrants and their children are imagined and portrayed as alien and out of place. Drawing on fourteen mont…
Climbing walls, making bridges
Capoeira and parkour are two different body practices which have gained worldwide attention in urban settings in the last few decades. The following paper will explore how capoeira and parkour relate to the construction of identity paths amongst children of immigrants between 12 and 20 in Turin, Italy. It will do so by looking at how such practices are used by young men of migrant origin to negotiate and perform narratives of self-worth, belongin…
