Gender, beauty and the future of neoliberalism
Prior research suggests that gendered norms of appearance are particularly demanding in East Asian societies, including Taiwan. However, it remains unclear how the factor of temporality is related to women’s beautification. Relying on 62 in-depth interviews with Taiwanese women, we explore women’s mobilization of feminine appearance as an important aspirational strategy to gain various advantages and some women’s resistance to those bodily norms …
La violence de l’impératif du bien-être. Bio-Autres, missions de sauvetage et justice sociale
Dans nos sociétés néolibérales, le « bien-être » est conçu de façon strictement individuelle. Il s’intègre dans un discours dominant et se nourrit de la biomédicalisation pour contribuer à une « biomoralité » violente à la fois sur les plans symbolique, physique et social. On fait appel aux technologies numériques pour renforcer le développement et le maintien du bien-être par l’autocontrôle, l’autodiagnostic et des méthodes skinnériennes pour ap…
Awkward Choreographies from Cancer's Margins
Canadian and American population-based research concerning sexual and/or gender minority populations provides evidence of persistent breast and gynecologic cancer-related health disparities and knowledge divides. The Cancer's Margins research investigates the complex intersections of sexual and/or gender marginality and incommensurabilities and improvisation in engagements with biographical and biomedical cancer knowledge. The study examines how …
The Cancer’s Margins Project
Sexual and/or gender minority populations (LGBQ/T) have particular cancer risks, lower involvement in cancer screening, and experience barriers in communication with healthcare providers. All of these factors increase the probability of health decisions linked with poor outcomes that include higher levels of cancer mortality. Persistent discrimination against, and stigmatization of, LGBQ/T people is reflected in sparse medical curriculum addressi…
HPV vaccination discourses and the construction of “at-risk” girls
Encountering fat others, embodying the thin self
Feminist Cultural Studies
This collection of commentaries emerged from ongoing conversations among the contributors about our varied understandings of and desires for the sport studies field. One of our initial concerns was with the absence/presence of feminist thought within sport studies. Despite a rich history of feminist scholarship in sport studies, we have questioned the extent to which feminism is currently being engaged or acknowledged as having shaped the field. …
Reflections on Biopedagogies and/of Public Health
In this article, we offer an introduction to the special issue of Cultural Studies↔Critical Methodologies. First, we present some of our own reflections and, second, we provide an overview of the articles assembled here to advance the critical interrogation of biopedagogies and/of public health. Our own reflections focus attention on biocitizens and the ill-fated 'rescue missions' to save bio-Others. In brief, we argue that (a) within neoliberal …
Moving Subjects, Feeling Bodies
In this paper, we conduct a critical feminist-informed poststructural analysis of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's reality weight loss series, Village on a Diet (VOD). We argue that the "problem of obesity" is felt into reality through the cultural work of emotions as represented in VOD. We further situate VOD as one node in a more expansive, interwoven network of discourses, sites, and technologies. In so doing, we argue that the felt for…

Voir » la santé autrement
À partir d'une perspective poststructuraliste et féministe, les auteures explorent, dans le contexte du discours dominant de l'obésité, les constructions discursives de la santé de 20 jeunes femmes vivant en situation de handicap visuel. Dans un premier temps, elles utilisent l'écriture évocatrice afin de rapporter les résultats de l'analyse thématique. Cette dernière leur permet de mettre en scène deux résultats émergents: la santé est principal…
Ills from the womb? A critical examination of clinical guidelines for obesity in pregnancy
In this article, we critically examine the clinical guidelines for obesity in pregnancy put forth by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) that are underpinned by the rules of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM), a system of ranking knowledge that promises to provide unbiased evidence about the effectiveness of treatments. While the SOGC guidelines are intended to direct health practitioners on 'best practice' as they address…
The Birth of the Obesity Clinic
The recent construction of a so-called “obesity epidemic” has been fueled by epidemiologically-based studies recuperated by the media and suggestions of the rapid acceleration of obesity rates in the Western world. Studies linking obesity to ill-health have also exploded and greatly impacted our “physical” culture. In this article, I present a series of postcards to summarize the dominant obesity discourse and document the rhetorical terrain of t…
Gaining the right amount for my baby
In Canada, obesity is increasingly emphasised as a ‘risk’ to the health of mother and foetus. At a time when pregnant women are under greater pressure to personally uphold the health of their foetus, understanding the impact of the discourse surrounding obesity and health on young pregnant women is critical. Using a feminist poststructuralist discourse analysis, we explore how pregnant young women construct their subjectivities either within domi…

Islam, Hijab and Young Shia Muslim Canadian Women’s Discursive Constructions of Physical Activity
This article focuses on the results of a study exploring young Shia Muslim Canadian women’s discursive constructions of physical activity in relation to Islam and the Hijab. The aims of the study were primarily informed by feminist poststructuralist and postcolonial theories. Poststructuralist discourse analysis was used to analyze the transcripts of conversations with 10 young Hijab-wearing Shia Muslim Canadian women. The results show that the p…
Confessions of the flesh and biopedagogies
Informed by the work of Michel Foucault, the authors discuss the Nip/Tuck episode entitled "Momma Boone" and how it discursively constructs "obesity". They show how this popular media text can be understood as a crystallisation of the dominant discourse surrounding fat bodies. In the process, how the episode can be seen as a "biopedagogy" that instructs its viewers in how to think and feel about the fat body is examined. Foucault's formulation of…
From Straight to Gaie? Quebec Sportswomen's Discursive Constructions of Sexuality and Destabilization of the Linear Coming Out Process
Sport is often perceived as affected by heteronormativity; however, it also seems to facilitate the expression of nonconventional sexualities. In this article, the authors explore the narratives of 14 young Francophone sportswomen from Montreal (Quebec, Canada) who identify themselves as ' gaie,' 'lesbian,' 'bisexual,' or refuse labels altogether. A feminist poststructuralist approach is used to examine their discursive constructions of gender, s…
Sport, Sexuality, and the Production of (Resistant) Bodies
Placing the sporting body and Michel Foucault’s technologies of power and of the self at the center of our research inquiry, this article explores the ways in which 12 Canadian gay male marathoners discursively construct their bodies within and beyond the marathon context. Thematic analysis of the research materials (gathered through guided conversations, written stories, and the first author’s research journal) revealed four main themes: self-go…
I’m a Frog, You’re a Frog, Kiss Me”
There is irony in my attempt to present a critique of Brayton and Alexander's article (2007) to a largely English-speaking readership.Those who know me will figure out why.In any case, I am writing in this lovely summer of 2007, when the city of Qubec is about to celebrate its 400th birthday, when Canada is celebrating 140 years of history, when the 40th anniversary of General de Gaulle's infamous "Vive le Qubec libre" is underlined, and when the…
On the Limits of “Gaie” Spaces
Several studies on the experiences of nonheterosexual women in sport have highlighted the development of lesbian subcultures in sport, while others have emphasized the scarcity of athletic contexts embracing sexual diversity. This article explores the narratives of 14 young Francophone sportswomen positioning themselves as “ gaie ,” lesbian, bisexual, or refusing labels altogether. Using a feminist poststructuralist perspective, we examine their …
The Lightness Of Being 'Gaie
In this article, we explore the narratives of 14 young Francophone women from Montreal (Quebec, Canada) competing in team sports and identifying as 'gay', 'lesbian', 'bisexual' or refusing labels altogether. We seek to gain a better understanding of these young women's discursive constructions of gender and sexuality as well as of their performative acts in sport and in other milieus. We submitted their narratives to a thematic analysis which was…
Elderly Women Show Neither a Shortage of Strategies nor an Overreliance on Drugs in Handling Aging and in Dealing with Minor Health Problems
Women 65 years old and over make up the fastest growing population segment in North America. They are, particularly among the underprivileged, known to be heavy consumers of prescribed and over-the-counter drugs. The objective of this study was to identify the role of medication in underprivileged elderly women's strategies for aging well and dealing with minor health problems. A qualitative study was conducted among 40 women aged 65 to 75. Resul…
Émancipation ou colonisation
À partir des Études culturelles féministes et postmodernistes, nous procédons à l’analyse de messages publicitaires réalisés par la compagnie Nike. Nous avançons que la « colonisation » du corps féminin faite par cette compagnie a nourri le sentiment postféministe dans l’imaginaire nord-américain. Nous illustrons la façon dont Nike a envahi l’univers sémiotique et social tout en misant sur des stratégies mondialistes qui permettent l’exploitation…
Body at Work
This paper is an introduction to the topic of Michel Foucault and the sociology of sport. First, we discuss the concepts used in the works of Foucault that have had the greatest impact in sociology of sport. Second, we present a brief review of the important articles in sociology of sport that have been inspired by Foucault's approach. This exercise allows us to provide indices of the influence of the Foucauldian perspective on the sociology of s…

Neo-Corporatism
A number of changes have occurred recently in the administration of fitness and amateur sport in Canada. The purpose of this paper is to assess the extent to which the federal government has adopted a neo-corporatist political approach to manage the number of interest groups in both fitness and amateur sport. Our analysis demonstrates that indeed several steps have been taken to ensure the coordination of interest groups in proposed changes to be…
Physical Contact in Women's Basketball
This study focused on the phenomenon of physical contact, as experienced by female basketball players (N=14) on a Canadian varsity team. In this article are presented the results of the construction and contextualization phases of the social phenomenological method (Denzin 1984) used in the study. In the construction phase, elements of the physical contact phenomenon are interpreted and used for its construction. Emotions and the self are conside…

Physical Contact in Women's Basketball
This study investigated the phenomenon of physical contact, as experienced by female basketball players. Denzin's (1984) social phenomenological method was used and understanding of physical contact was reached through content analysis of in-depth, open ended interviews with members (N=14) of a women's university basketball team competing in Canada. The study unraveled the interrelationships, meanings and essential properties of the physical cont…
La souffrance inutile
La posture debout prolongée, observée chez la majorité des travailleuses québécoises, est associée à des troubles cardiovasculaires et des douleurs au dos, aux membres inférieurs et aux pieds. En effet, dans deux des cinq professions où l'on retrouve le plus de travailleuses, on observe une posture de travail debout prolongée et relativement statique. Cette contrainte posturale est typique de certaines expositions professionnelles des femmes parc…
Le sport et la condition post-moderne
La post-modernité peut être vue comme l'implosion catastrophique de la culture contemporaine dans une série de scènes qui reflètent l'excès, le surplus, la désaccumulation et la panique. Comme une séismographie de cette condition, le présent essai regroupe trois " thèses " reliées au phénomène sportif. L'art post-moderne, le corps " plastique " et l'image mass-médiatique contemporaine sont présentés comme les résultats de véritables implosions : …
Sport Federation Executives and Organizational Strategies
This study is centered on the modalities of participation or 'strategies' of executives in two Canadian provincial sport federations. Crozier and Friedberg's (1977) strategic analysis perspective and restricted phenomenological method were utilized. Objective as well as subjective data were collected and strategies were elaborated from (a) an analysis of official data concerning the sport organizations, and (b) a content analysis of 60 interviews…

Sociology of Sport in “La Francophonie”
This article focuses on the June 1995 issue of the "Sociology of Sport Journal." The task associated with this special issue is more complicated than it appears at first sight. It implies more than translating, since in addition to the language barrier a cultural barrier must be overcome. In fact, several factors have to be considered when publishing research papers written in another language, especially when they are inspired by works that have…
