AccessibleYoga for whom? The non-performativity of accessibility and inclusion on Instagram
Yoga has a long contentious history of accessibility and inclusion. Scholars and practitioner-activists today call for inclusive yoga; however, even within seemingly inclusive yoga campaigns in digital spaces, depictions of the practice often exclude bodies of difference. We use Sara Ahmed’s theorizing of non-performatives to explore #AccessibleYoga and #InclusiveYoga and understand how possibilities for bodies of difference are profuse or sparse…
Is #YogaForEveryone? The idealised flexible bodymind in Instagram yoga posts
Research consistently demonstrates that media depictions of ‘the yogi’ are narrowly represented, erasing bodies of difference, and perpetuating an idealised form of yoga. We analysed 257 Instagram posts from the hashtags #YogaForAll and #YogaForEveryone to explore how these hashtags, which seemingly promote an inclusive yoga, are mobilised. Using reflexive thematic analysis and multimodal discourse analysis, we posed the following questions: 1) W…
Personhood and aging
Writing as/about Leisure
Leisure engagement is linked to well-being and social integration, which is important for older adults, who are particularly at risk for social isolation (SI). The aim of this study was to examine the meanings and importance of leisure across the life course. We conducted life history interviews with twenty-six older adults who participated in (primarily) library-based writing programs in Southern Ontario, Canada. We employed narrative inquiry to…
Forms of trust and polypharmacy among older adults
This article examines how older adults make decisions about their medications through interconnected axes of trust that operate across social networks. Trust is negotiated by older adults enrolled in a deprescribing programme which guides them through the process of reducing medications to mitigate risks associated with polypharmacy. Habermas’ work on the significance of communicative action in negotiating trust within social relationships inform…
Confronting Medicine's Dichotomies
To address the risks associated with polypharmacy, health care providers are investigating the feasibility of deprescribing programs as part of routine medical care to reduce medication burden to older adults. As older adults are enrolled in these programs, they are confronted with two dominant and legitimate accounts of medications, labeled the medication paradox: medications keep you healthy but they might be making you sick. We investigated ho…
Making the Virtual Rounds
In the “Health 2.0” era, digital media has altered how health care is conducted and how patients consume medical information. This article explores the reasons why health-care professionals create their own blogs and how they use blogging as a component of their work. We examine interviews with medical bloggers ( n = 83) featured on “Grand Rounds,” a weekly medical blog forum or “carnival,” to interpret the ways in which blogging is incorporated …
Reconstructing Aboriginal Identity and the Meaning of the Body in Blood Donation Decisions
Into the mountains and across the country
This paper draws upon Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of ‘lines of flight’ to analyze the complex inter-relationship between people and their animals as enacted through adventure travel. Two narrative case studies illustrate how the human/horse relationship has been used to transform and/or escape from power relations. The first takes place during the early twentieth century with Mary Shaffer challenging Victorian gender and class relations throug…
Sport, Animals, and Society
Equine athletes and interspecies sport
This article draws on a range of sociological literature including studies of sport, subculture, interspecies relationships and animal advocacy to understand the social processes that have contributed to the horse being defined as an athlete in equestrian sports. Using a combination of qualitative interviews and archival analysis, we identify trends in the equine industry that have provided the foundation for the emergence of a new type of equine…
Internet Web Logs as Cultural Resistance
This article examines an Internet project — sarsart.org — that features digital artworks created in response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in spring 2003. Qualitative methods including archival research, semiotic analysis, and interviews are used to examine the emergence and substance of this Internet project. The analysis identifies ways in which contributions by artists and bloggers (i.e., individuals with their own I…
The Challenges of Institutionalization for Aids Media Activism
Since the early 1980s, AIDS activists have developed their own alternative media projects in order to mobilize those infected and affected, challenge misconceptions regarding the disease, provide practical and useful information, and transform power structures which inhibit an effective response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In this article I examine several challenges for AIDS media activists arising from an expanded institutional response to the HI…
Media activism and Internet use by people with HIV/Aids
This paper seeks to understand better the media practices of people who are directly affected by an illness or health problem. Internet sites that have been created by people with HIV/AIDS are examined as a strategy for self-representation. This analysis identifies four prominent 'organising themes' in Internet sites: autobiography; expertise; self promotion; and dissent. It is argued that there is a connection between media activism within the c…
Moving beyond the Biomedical
Despite the growing interest in the therapeutic value of sport, limited attention has been devoted to understanding the meanings that individuals attribute to their use of physical activity as a complementary therapy. In our analysis, we draw on literature in the sociology of lay knowledge in order to better understand the use of physical activity as a health practice among people with HIV/AIDS. Our objective is to move beyond a biomedical focus,…
Lay constructions of HIV and complementary therapy use
Bodywork as a Moral Imperative
This paper provides a critique of the processes by which health and fitness have moved forward on the cultural agenda. It is argued that the development and promotion of cultural beliefs about health, while often well intended, flow from and help reproduce structures of inequality and relations of dominance. It is also suggested that the health and fitness movement incorporates a moral imperative which has consequences for class and gender relati…
Reading the Muscular Body
This paper provides a critical decoding of advertisements in Flex, a popular bodybuilding magazine. The analysis focuses on the visual and narrative representation of the muscular male body and bodywork practices in advertisements promoting bodybuilding technologies. The images of the muscular body found in bodybuilding advertisements encourage masculine self-transformation through bodywork. Moreover, the taken-for-granted representation of the m…
