Haunted spaces and unsettling predicaments
In utilising the work of Mark Fisher, this article critically interrogates contemporary manifestations of capitalist sport. Specifically, it examines how the notion of capitalist realism, as well as the related concepts of hauntology and the weird and the eerie, might serve to resist anthropocentricism and challenge political impotence in the face of multiple existential crises. Emphasising Fisher’s focus on temporality and temporal aberration, t…
Sport and the Anthropocene
This editorial introduction to the special issue, 'Sport and the Anthropocene', examines the entanglements between sport, human activity, and the planet's accelerating ecological crisis. Framing the Anthropocene as a new epoch, marked by irreversible human-induced environmental change, the article highlights the catastrophic consequences of climate disruption, resource depletion, and socio-political instability. Yet, amid collapse, the Anthropoce…
From local fields to global spectacles
This article brings together key insights from Billy Graeff, Brendan Hokowhitu, and Holly Thorpe to critically examine the relationship between sport and the Anthropocene. Together, each writer explores how sport both shapes and is shaped by environmental transformations, raising questions about its role in the accelerating ecological crisis. They discuss the need to rethink the Anthropocene through interdisciplinary perspectives, such as, femini…
My body was no longer a problem’
Disability is often overlooked in discussions of green exercise. Consequently, we still know little about how ableist ideologies might play out in the context of nature engagement, or the forms of pleasure that disabled people derive from participation in green spaces. In this paper, we address this gap in the literature by exploring the relationship between electric mountain biking and disability in England (UK). Adopting the work of Bernard Sti…
The electric mountain bike as pharmakon
In the last decade there has been an upsurge in the popularity of electric mountain bikes. However, opinion is divided regarding the implications of this emerging technology. Critics warn of the dangers they pose to landscapes, habitats, and ecological diversity, whilst advocates highlight their potential in increasing the accessibility of the outdoors for riders who would otherwise be socially and/or physically excluded. Drawing on interview dat…
Posthuman to Inhuman
In exploring the intra-active, relational and material connections between humans and non-humans, proponents of posthumanism advocate a questioning of the "human" beyond its traditional anthropocentric conceptualization. By referring specifically to controversial developments in mHealth applications, this paper critically diverges from posthuman accounts of human/non-human assemblages. Indeed, we argue that rather than "dissolving" the human subj…
The Ontopolitics of Mountain Bike Trail Building
In recent years there have been calls for scholars working within sport and physical culture to recognise the (increasing) confluence of nature and culture. Situated within an emerging body of new materialist research, such accounts have shown how various activities are polluted by, fused to, and assembled with non-human entities. However, more work is needed on the political possibilities afforded by non-human agency, and by extension, the impli…
The Myth of the Repack Group
This article problematizes heroic models of innovation which advocate the definitive, isolated and anthropocentric origins of the mountain bike. It argues that such heroic models represent a particular kind of myth in which technology, as manifest in the reconstructionist history of the Repack group, is said to represent the human ability to domesticate nature and transform it into objects of utility. In light of the work of Latour, I (re)evaluat…
Running away from the taskscape
Drawing on reflections from a collaborative autoethnography, this article argues that ultramarathon running is defined by a ‘dark’ ecological sensibility [Morton, Timothy. 2007. Ecology without Nature. London: Harvard University Press; Morton, Timothy. 2010. The Ecological Thought. London: Harvard University Press; Morton, Timothy. 2016. Dark Ecology: For a Logic of Future Coexistence. New York: Columbia University Press], characterized by moment…
‘It’s just superstition I suppose … I’ve always done something on game day’
Research in sport has tended to focus on ‘spectacular’ or ‘extra-ordinary’ experiences, at the expense of discussing how particular phenomena are embedded in everyday life. Drawing on ethnographic research with a university basketball team in the North of England, this article considers the meanings that amateur players attach to basketball and how such meanings go beyond their participation in competitive games. Analysis reveals the rhythms and …
