Toward a Sociology of Ignorance in Leisure Studies
Although ignorance is pervasive within contemporary society, it has been largely overlooked within the social sciences, and has remained completely unnoticed within the study of leisure. This paper advances the case for a sociology of ignorance within leisure. An overview of ignorance is provided, before the lack of attention paid towards the concept is explored. The paper discusses the concept of ignorance, with a focus upon deliberate, motivate…
Listening to women’s personal stories about suicide
The experience of pregnancy and motherhood is complex and changeable, marked by feelings of fulfilment, growth, and joy, but also depression, stress, anxiety, increased conflict, and regret. Yet the chaotic realities of motherhood remain taboo subjects, rarely discussed, in society and across the media. This paper shows how discussion forums can work as powerful outlets to capture the meaningful expression of viewpoints that mothers may not feel …
Fan responses to ownership change in the English Premier League
Over recent years there has been a significant increase in foreign ownership within the English Premier League, with ‘sportswashing’ being identified as a key motive for some new club owners. Whilst the effects of changes of ownership have received considerable focus, especially in terms of their impacts upon the club, less attention has been paid to the status of the owners themselves, how any perceived sportswashing strategy impacts upon fans, …
Motivated ignorance and social identity threat
Belief in a conspiracy theory may, for some, provide a social identity. Because of the nature of many conspiracy theories, social identities associated with such beliefs may be subject to varied and considerable threats. Whilst various mechanisms for dealing with social identity threat have received widespread attention, this paper introduces an as yet unexplored strategy – that of ‘motivated ignorance' – as a further mechanism for social identit…
Women's Experiences of Embodied Identity through Active Leisure
This article contributes to the small yet emerging body of literature that provides an analysis of active leisure to propose how it may provide existential possibilities for empowerment and the wellbeing for women. We have specifically explored women's experiences since it is broadly accepted that we experience our bodies in gendered ways. In this article, which combines theoretical discussion and qualitative empirical data from in-depth intervie…
Perfect pregnancy? Pregnant bodies, digital leisure and the presentation of self
Pregnant women are increasingly engaging with social media as a form of digital leisure. In doing so, they subject themselves to normalised images of pregnant bodies communicating unrealistic ideals. Instagram is a culturally communicative and visual platform and a pervasive context in which to explore body discipline and regulation. The current research utilised discourse analysis to explore dominant discourse surrounding pregnant women’s bodies…
Making well-being an experiential possibility
Whilst the relationship between active participation in sport and well-being has been widely acknowledged, less attention has been paid to actually understand this relationship from the perspective of the individual. Our paper draws upon phenomenological philosophy and the existential life-world view of well-being, in order to explore how the experience of sport can help facilitate possibilities for multiple kinds and levels of well-being. In doi…
Toward a Conceptualization of Mixed Methods Phenomenological Research
Increasingly, researchers are recognizing the benefits of expanding research designs that are rooted in one tradition (i.e., monomethod design) into a design that incorporates or interfaces with the other tradition. The flexibility of phenomenologically driven methods provides one such example. Indeed, phenomenological research methods work extremely well as a component of mixed methods research approaches. However, to date, a mixed methods versi…
An Innovative Mixed Methods Approach to Studying the Online Health Information Seeking Experiences of Adults With Chronic Health Conditions
This article presents an innovative sequential mixed methods approach to researching the experiences of U.K. adults with chronic health conditions seeking health information online. The use of multiple methods integrated within a single study ensured that the focus of the research was emergent and relevant and ultimately provided a more complete picture of the experience of online health information seeking through joint discussion. This was achi…
