Human–Animal Relationships in Equestrian Sport and Leisure: Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society

Autor Katherine Dashper
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 2018
Riding, training and caring for horses are visceral experiences that require the immersion of both body and mind. This book provides an in-depth understanding of human–horse relationships and interactions as embodied in equestrian sport and leisure.
As a closely focused ethnographic study of the horse world, it explores the key themes of partnership and collaboration in human–horse communication, the formation of individual and collective identities performed through involvement in the horse world, and human–horse interaction as an embodied way of being. This book argues that encounters between humans and horses can reveal the ways that human society has been and continues to be structured through intersection with nonhuman others. Equestrian sport and leisure provides an apt context for considering how such concepts of interspecies communication and collaboration are negotiated, managed, (mis)understood and performed, resulting in a uniquely embodied way of knowing and being in the world.
Human–Animal Relationships in Equestrian Sport and Leisure is fascinating reading for anyone interested in equestrianism, human-animal studies, theories of embodiment, the sociology of sport, or sport and social theory.

She has expertise in relation to gender and equality, and in researching encounters between human and nonhuman animals in a variety of sport, leisure and event spaces.

Drawing on theoretical insights from human-animal studies, she is interested in exploring the role of nonhuman animals within human leisure and the interspecies relationships that can develop through joint action and interaction

Recenzii

"[This book is] of paramount interest for many academic fields. [It] contributes to human-animal studies and provides exciting new insights about sport and leisure, society, gender and identity performance in the past and in our own time." - Susanna Hedenborg, Department of Sport Sciences, Malmo University
"All in all, the book is a very easy read and the references at the end of each chapter could provide years of interesting reading. Putting what is or was essentially a hobby or leisure activity into scientific and sociological terms is an avenue open for further exploration and the Author, I believe, has made a brilliant start to research in this area." - Judith Turner, Euqine Behaviour Forum
 

Descriere

This book provides an in-depth understanding of human–horse relationships, interactions and the embodied nature of equestrian sport and leisure practices. Encounters between humans and horses are revealing about the ways that human society is structured through intersection with nonhuman others. Caring for, being around and riding horses are visceral, sensual experiences that require immersion of body and mind. This results in the formation of a unique embodied way of knowing and being in the world that characterizes equestrian sport and leisure. This book explores the individual and collective identities that are performed through involvement in the horse world.
