Le déclin du jeu actif à l’extérieur. La « bonne mère » et son organisation du temps libre des enfants
Le jeu actif à l’extérieur (JAE) est une activité physique non structurée désignée par les experts en santé publique comme une solution contre les modes de vie sédentaires et hyperencadrés des enfants. Cette pratique se trouve au carrefour des discours sur les pratiques éducatives des mères, la santé et le développement physique et psychosocial des enfants. En s’appuyant sur le concept foucaldien de biopédagogies, cette analyse de discours effect…
L’activité physique comme objet de santé publique
Sociologie du sport et émergence de l’activité physique La connaissance des pratiques physiques et du sport s’est révélée dans les années 1980 comme étant une « clé de la connaissance de la société » (Elias & Dunning, 1994). Une sociologie du sport s’est ainsi déployée à partir de la reconnaissance du sport comme un « fait social total » comme le définissait l’anthropologue Marcel Mauss (1922), c’est à dire en tant que phénomène « où s’expriment …
Children's active outdoor play
This qualitative study draws on the Foucault-inspired notion of biopedagogies to examine and problematise the salient factors of contemporary motherhood impacting children's active outdoor play (AOP). The study positions mothering as a practice, through which children's health and bodies are constructed and disciplined. A discourse analysis of 21 interviews with Canadian mothers identified three discursive constructions of the 'good mother': moth…
Class-based masculinity, cardiovascular health and rehabilitation
Men in economically advanced societies are more at-risk of dying prematurely due to heart disease than women, and this risk is inversely related to their socioeconomic status (SES). While the strong influence of socioeconomic factors on self-management of chronic diseases is important, the impact of masculinity must also be considered. This study examines the social variation in preventive health lifestyles of men from two contrasting socioeconom…
Lifestyle Inequalities
Excess weight and menopause are two major factors increasing aging women's vulnerability to chronic diseases. However, social position and socioeconomic status have also been identified as major determinants influencing both health behaviors and the development of such diseases. This study focuses on the socioeconomic variations of behavioral risk factors of chronic diseases in aging women. By drawing on Bourdieu's sociocultural theory of practic…
Women, weight, poverty and menopause
Socioeconomic inequalities in health persist despite major investments in illness prevention campaigns and universal healthcare systems. In this context, the increased risks of chronic diseases of specific sub-groups of vulnerable populations should be further investigated. The objective of this qualitative study is to examine the interaction between socioeconomic status (SES) and body weight in order to understand underprivileged women's increas…
Introduction
Biomedical and geriatric technologies are having major impacts on the development and management of human longevity. Our contention in this special issue is that longevity should be considered as a point of departure for new forms of politics in which social sciences, in particular sociology and politics, can play an important role. In this introduction, we argue that emerging consumer markets in biomedicine are incrementally redefining the relat…
Position sociale et style de vie. La variation sociale des pratiques de santé après un incident cardiaque
La mortalité engendrée par les maladies cardiovasculaires constitue l’un des indicateurs majeurs d’inégalités sociales de santé au Québec. Chez les hommes socio-économiquement défavorisés, le taux de mortalité due à ces maladies demeure alarmant par rapport aux autres groupes de la population. Cette étude qualitative examine les pratiques de santé de soixante hommes provenant de différents milieux socioéconomiques et ayant été hospitalisés à la s…
Anti-normative lifestyles in cardiac rehabilitation
Cardiovascular diseases are leading causes of premature mortality and disability. Although health institutions have developed and promoted cardiac rehabilitation programs, they have not attained their desired outcomes, especially among the most vulnerable groups of the population. This study qualitatively examines socially and materially deprived men's (n = 20) noncompliance with cardiovascular health guidelines following a medical intervention t…

Lifestyle as a choice of necessity
Fatalism and short-termism as cultural barriers to cardiac rehabilitation among underprivileged men
Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death and disability in Canada, and individuals of low socioeconomic status appear particularly vulnerable to such disorders. Although many health-related institutions have promoted cardiovascular health and have created cardiac rehabilitation programmes, they have not attained their desired outcomes, especially amongst socioeconomically deprived men. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's sociocultural theory…
Skateparks as a health-resource
Skateboarding raises an interesting dilemma in the field of health promotion. While public health institutions are engaged in unprecedented efforts to counter the sedentary lifestyles of youth, the promotion of lifestyle sports and active leisure practices, such as skateboarding, is tempered by the potential risks of injuries. The health-risks associated with skateboarding have generally been viewed through the lens of epidemiology. Sociology, on…
The life-extension project
In this article we explore and critically assess recent developments in biogerontology which promise a delaying of the ageing process in human beings through some form of significant ‘life-extension’. Various arguments for prolonging the human life span are being discussed intensely in the biomedical sciences: sociology has yet to make a tangible contribution to these debates. Although significant modifications to the human lifespan remain a futu…

Older women's relations to bodily appearance
Our purpose in this paper is to explore and deepen the understanding of older women's relations to bodily appearance by looking at two different conditions of existence. Recent research has touched on the experiences of older women in societies with youthful norms of beauty, but the diversity of older women's experiences has been little explored, and there has been little dialogue between theoretical writing and empirical research on the topic. I…
Quand le passé n’est pas garant de l’avenir
Cette étude traite de la pratique d’activités physiques chez les aînées de milieux moins bien nantis de Montréal. En s’inspirant du concept de « rupture biographique » de Bury (1982, 1991), elle consiste à voir dans quelle mesure la prise de conscience de la finitude du corps, en tant qu’élément-rupture, a une incidence sur l’adoption de pratiques d’activités physiques. L’analyse révèle que la période de la vieillesse engendre une rupture biograp…
