Making a Case for Sport as Avant-Garde
The avant-garde has much to offer sport studies and many paths to explore for sport studies’ scholars. In this article, I makes a case for the use of the avant-garde as a metaphor for sport studies, sport scholars, and the public at large. To do this, I sketch out some of the foundational and pertinent characteristics of the avant-garde, provides exemplars from art, considers the similarities between sport and art (in terms of an avant-garde meta…
New Critical Pan-Pacific Qualitative Inquiry
In this piece, I explore two related issues of new critical Indigenous research. First, building on previous work, I recap the similarities and differences—in terms of social justice issues—of several historical cases regarding Indigenous peoples. I then examine the role of respect—especially “reciprocal respect”—in Pan-Pacific Indigenous research and give exemplars from New Zealand, Filipino, Aboriginal, and Samoan contexts as discussion points …
Home of (or for ?) Champions? The Politics of High-Performance/Elite and Community sport at New Zealand’s Home of Cycling
Creating inclusiveness and user-friendly spaces is a challenge to any new sporting venue. This article explores the attempts by various ‘stakeholders’ involved in the production of the Avantidrome, New Zealand's ‘Home of Cycling’ to align the rhetorics with the realities for creating a new velodrome across its first 20 months of operation. More specifically, there exists a tension in the ‘selling’ of a sport-for-all model with the public construc…
Fear and Loathing in San Diego
Hunter S. Thompson's 'Gonzo Journalism' arguably brought a new style to popular and populist writing. In this piece, I emulate some of his style to show how it felt to attend a sports extravaganza, The X Games, in 1997. I mirror some of the sensory aspects of being a spectator at these games, and offer some insights on how alternative/extreme/lifestyle sports have collided with transnational corporate structures
Coming Unhinged
This story tells about an accident that occurred at the 2016 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry. The first author presents her autoethnography of her partner's fall and her subsequent reaction. Then to complicate and deepen her telling, she crafts a second multivoiced account from the responses of eight people who were part of the event. The participants' stories are juxtaposed to tell a multivoiced tale and to theorize what happened i…
Sport–war cartoon art
In this article, We explore the extent to which political cartoons and comic strips – as mediated public and political visual art, the ‘ninth art’ according to Groensteen’s The System of Comics (2007[1999] – subvert/confirm institutional values of so-called Western democracies during times of war. Our concern, as sociologists of sport, is with the ways dominant sporting sensibilities are (re)presented in cartoon art, and how sport itself is confl…

Minding the Senses in Global South Ethnographies
When we first discussed this book, it was a humid, coastal day. It was the kind of day in Whaingaroa/Raglan, Aotearoa/New Zealand that was sure to go one of two ways: either pouring with rain, or bright, woozy and sunny. The wet heat pressed in on us, like a smelly woolen dog. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
Global South Ethnographies
Both an introduction to sensory ethnography and a bold display of the sophisticated use of the sensory for contemporary ethnography, Global South Ethnographies: Minding the Senses reflects both indigenous and non-mainstream takes on the sensory and the sensual in ethnographic practice. The authors provide a collection of original and timely chapters from both the hegemonic northern and Global Southern hemispheres. As the chapters stem from across…

Ngā mihi mahana kia koutou. Kō Holly Thorpe tāku ingoa. Ngā te whare Wānanga o Waikato ahau. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa. Good afternoon, and welcome all. My name is Holly Thorpe, and I’m honoured to be moderating this keynote panel today. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
“The New Zealand Case”
In this piece, I explore the similarities and differences—in terms of social justice issues—of two historical cases regarding Indigenous peoples: Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand and Navajo in the United States. I look at the foundational documents of the Treaty of Waitangi and the Navajo Treaty of 1868 and explore how they have been enacted in these two cases
Teach-ins as Performance Ethnography
On November 9, 2015, the president and chancellor at the University of Missouri resigned in response to protests and threat of the football team's boycott (Svrluga, 2015). The unrest and racial disharmony that surfaced at Mizzou had been building for years and, in fact, has been evidenced since on many other campuses across the United States (Gross, 2015). In this article, we use performance ethnography (Denzin, 2003) to demonstrate social activi…
Global South Ethnographies
Auto-, duo- and collaborative-ethnographies
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to make a case for the strength of qualitative work, but more specifically for various kinds of ethnographies. Design/methodology/approach - The authors argue that global neoliberal and audit culture policies have crept into academic research, tertiary education practice, and research culture. Findings - The authors then discuss major tenets of and make the case for the use of auto-, duo-, and collaborative-…
Sport and the Social Significance of Pleasure
Proem
This introduction presents an overview of key concepts covered in the subsequent chapters of the book. It is about sporting pleasures. It is not a text on how to maximize experiences of pleasure in sport settings, but a critical socio-cultural examination of the significance of pleasure in the constitution of the sporting world, identities and sets of relations of power. The examination of sport pleasure has not been a central topic of examinatio…

Surf Film, Then & Now
Media shifts in the past 50 years based on a late capitalist economics have profoundly affected how a film is produced, delivered, and received. In this article, I aim to examine two exemplar surf films- The Endless Summer (1964) and Slow Dance (2013)-as well as the surf film genre to note some of the ways these cultural artifacts have changed over time. I link these shifts to larger cultural shifts, and draw attention to several key strategies t…

Reliquaries and a Poetic Sensibility
Reliquaries are forms for remembrance, but they are also enactments, processes of just that remembering. In this piece, through five exemplar poems, I examine "reliquary" as noun and "reliquary" as verb
Ethnographic Practice(s) and Symbolic Interaction
Rarely are we invited to know the where of a writer’s writing; not the stance or angle or point of view they take on their narrative, but rather, the physical space and time they occupy as they write. This, of course, is an integral facet of the writer’s craft – and perhaps art. Writers (or in this case, ethnographers) may write “winter wonderland” tales in summer, or pieces exploring the inner workings of mind while on an impressive, event-packe…

Action Sport NGOs in a Neo-Liberal Context
Sport nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have flourished in the contemporary moment, particularly situated within neoliberal global politics. In this article we focus on the relatively recent proliferation of action sport-based social justice advocacy groups. Drawing on extant materials from our ongoing research on two action sport-related social justice movements-Skateistan and SurfAid International (SAI)-we illustrate some of the unique strat…
All Things in Moderation
This piece is about remembrance and forgetting; about shame and forgiveness; about capitalist media and the victimization of vulnerable citizens
Antipodean Performativity
In this article introducing the special issue, I argue for ethnographic research and research traditions that are simultaneously global and local, that are universal and singular, that are a mish-mash of cultural and individual negotiations. Further, in this piece, I locate a Performative Ethnography that is both vital and thriving, and offer as exemplars the authors' works
Fictional Methods in Ethnography
With recent calls for new, often radical and experimental ways of "doing" ethnographic writing (e.g., Denzin, Ellis & Bochner, Harrington, Richardson), the responsibility of ethnographers to write convincingly comes to the fore. In this article, the author explores the use, worldview, and evaluation of writing that stems from a humanistic tradition for the human disciplines. The author delineates some strands of ethnography-the use of fictional m…
Babes' & Boards
The proliferation of action or extreme sports in recent years leads to a reassessment of fundamental, foundational questions regarding the nature of sport. One such question is Does the much-vaunted alternative ethos of action sports lead to a concomitant paradigm shift in fundamental attitudes toward race, class, or gender differences within these new sport forms? In this article, the focus is on advertising in slick, national skating magazines …

Inside of the Outside
Despite an ever-increasing number of alternative sports which have begun encroaching into mainstream sport, the process of commodification of such alternative sports has been little examined. In this article, the author will explore some of the dynamic relationships-the establishment of a 'pecking order'-occurring in skateboarding and in-line skating as they become commodified in ESPN's 1995 Extreme Games. The author makes the case that an attemp…

BMX Spaces
The relatively recent growth of so-called Extreme Sports has created an opportunity for scholars to examine sport, games, and play once again—but as the concepts are played out in emerging sport forms. In this ethnography of BMX bikers, we examine one group of youth within two different venues: the grass-roots, child-driven activity of setting up ramps, courses, and jumps locally, and the corporate, adult-driven activity where skateparks have bec…

Dropping Hierarchies
In this paper I propose the avant-garde as an as yet undeveloped metaphor for sport studies. I examine the sport-as-drama metaphor that is rampant in popular, personal, and scholarly discourse. I argue that the exclusive use of the sport-as-drama metaphor limits research avenues, recreates unexamined assumptions, and perpetuates scholarly hierarchy and privileging. I suggest that the use of a sport-as-avant-garde metaphor more aptly encompasses t…

The "Eddie Scissons Syndrome" and Fictionalized Public Confessionals
The "Eddie Scissons Syndrome," a term coined by fiction writer W. P. Kinsella, describes a phenomenon wherein people exaggerate their personal histories for their own personal gain. In this article, the phenomenon is first explored in two ways: as a trope in which fiction writers demonstrate and advance character, and as an object of academic discourse, primarily through the work of Crepeau and Scheinkopf. Furthermore, the Eddie Scissons Syndrome…

“Performing” Sport
This paper frames, and creates, a fictionalized two-act play based upon two real yet imagined contexts: 1) 1975, apartheid-era South Africa (involving cricket, Yacoob Omar—who was one of South Africa's premier Black cricketers during apartheid, other 1970s-era cricketers, and a fabricated scenario), and 2) a 1995, “post-apartheid” South Africa (involving the World Cup of Rugby, Nelson Mandela, and various others). These scenarios seek to explore …
Sport Performance in Four Acts
Using the "voices" of the "creators" of intertextualized sport, this article will demonstrate how sport is inextricably linked with performance. As well, an exegesis of the modernist and postmodernist frameworks of contemporary sport will show how many sports have evolved from grass roots to Goffman's "framed" responses to the cult of celebrity and attempts to attain immortality and how these various responses to the need for human movement creat…
