Embodied socialisation of youth in a depopulation-affected rural environment
This article examines how embodied socialisation unfolds among youth growing up in a depopulation-affected rural environment in Sweden. Grounded in ecological niche theory and the concept of sociocultural affordances (SCAs), the analysis conceptualises embodied socialisation as a process shaped through the interaction of place, family and social institutions under specific sociohistorical conditions. Particular attention is given to how demograph…
Movement integration in Swedish school-age educare centres
Drawing from a practice-oriented research project, this article explores and evaluates alternative methods for incorporating physical activity in schools, particularly within Swedish SAECs. By presenting various teaching examples, the article demonstrates how movement and physical activity can be woven into the school setting, emphasising that movement is not solely about promoting positive health effects through its intensity, duration, and freq…
Rethinking places for sport in the Anthropocene
Anthropogenic climate change has profound effects globally. If the Anthropocene signifies the decline of nature as we once knew it, how might this transformation affect sporting activities conducted in natural environments? This scenario necessitates a renegotiation not only of the future of sports but also of humanity's shared history and the individual emotions and identities associated with sports. Ultimately, changes in nature due to climate …
Understanding Participation Experiences in Sport Programs for the Acculturation of Refugee Youth
Sports can help refugees mitigate traumas, connect with others, and learn positive values. In this illustrative comparative study, we compare two sport programs for the acculturation of refugees in the US and Sweden. Our aim is to describe both programs, compare them with the literature, and present suggestions for the field. Hence, we placed the program participants at the center of their acculturation process and used interpretivism to understa…
Sports and mobile imperatives in the lives of rural youths
This paper explores the mobility processes of rural youths in relation to sports. The mobility imperative has its basis in the fact that rural youths must be mobile to gain access to the resources they need to shape their lives and create their own identities. The mobility imperative is analysed as a constellation of interrelated processes in which material inequalities, symbolic hierarchies and entanglements between bodies and places interact in…
To deviate from the expected
Physically inactive children in rural areas are overlooked in research because of the dominance of urban perspectives focusing on physical activity rather than inactivity. The aim of this article is to examine an emerging collective story of how physically inactive children (aged 9–11 years) in two rural areas experience their relationships with physical activity. Based on praxis-oriented sociocultural theorising, this study focuses on how practi…
It’s like half-sport, maybe even a bit more than half-sport
In this article we explore children’s experiences of a Sport for All Programme (SAP) in school. The purpose of the ‘Sport for All’ policy is to give children an opportunity to try different sports, with a focus on play and motor learning rather than organized competition. In this study, we approach children as active agents in constructing the SAP practice in line with the theoretical standpoint that children are competent social actors with agen…
