Narratives of adventure, intimacy, conformity, and rejection
In this paper, we offer narrative inquiry as a methodology for understanding how women student athletes ‘do’ sport-related drinking. 11 women student athletes took part in individual face-to-face interviews each approximately one hour in duration. Data were analysed via structural and thematic narrative analysis to identify public and private narratives, narrative tensions and narrative silences. Findings are presented in the form of analytical a…
The relationship between membership of a university sports group and drinking behaviour among students at English Universities
Aims \nThe primary aim is to report on whether or not students who are members of UK university sport groups drink more heavily and/or are more at risk for alcohol-related harm than students not engaged in university sport. A secondary aim is to compare alcohol consumption levels and alcohol-related problems in UK university athletes involved in firstly sports broadly differentiated as team or individual and secondly competing at different levels…
The “Jock Body” and the Social Construction of Space
This article draws on data generated from a 3-year ethnographic study of “jock culture” at one university setting in England to illuminate the ways that specific kinds of bodies are located in social space so as to construct a range of identity positions that facilitate the maintenance of this culture over time. These positions are as follows: the jocks, sport scholars, also-rans, anti-jocks, wannabes, and the non-jocks. The analysis revealed how…
Bodies as bearers of value
This article explores a number of insights generated from a three-year ethnographic study of one university setting in England in which a ‘jock culture’ is seen to dominate a student campus. Drawing on core concepts from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of culture, it illustrates the unique function of the body in sustaining jock culture through the hierarchical ordering of bodies in institutional space. First, the development of this culture over tim…
Mid-life nuances and negotiations
This paper adopts a narrative perspective on the study of mid-life experiences in sport. Different types of stories about sporting mid-life are identified and discussed. Drawing upon the concept of narrative mapping, the potential of these stories to serve as narrative maps for those approaching mid-life is considered. Data from an interview study with 26 participants aged between 35 and 55 years of age, from badminton, distance running, outdoor …
