Physical Culture, Ethnography and the Body: Theory, Method and Praxis: Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Activity
Editat de Michael D. Giardina, Michele K. Donnellyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 iun 2019
Contributors spanning the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, communications, and sport studies highlight conceptual, methodological, and empirical approaches to the body that include observant-participation, feminist ethnography, autoethnography, physical cultural studies, and phenomenology. They provide vivid case studies of embodied research on topics including basketball, boxing, cycling, dance, fashion modelling and virtual gaming. This international collection not only reflects on the most important recent developments in embodied research practices, but also looks forward to the continuing importance of the body as a focus for research and the possibilities this presents for studies of the active, moving body in physical culture and beyond.
Physical Culture, Ethnography and the Body: Theory, method and praxis is fascinating reading for all those interested in physical cultural studies, the sociology of sport and leisure, physical education or the body.

Recenzii
"Giardina and Donnelly have compiled and crafted a superb collection of essays, which illuminate, probe and critique the place and role of the body in contemporary sport and physical culture. Utilising embodied ethnographic approaches – and offering nuanced expositions of the methodologies, epistemologies, positionalities and politics that underpin them – this book will become required reading for scholars and students in the field. The body, the editors remind us, still matters – critically, these essays identify precisely which bodies matter, and how, where and why." – Daniel Burdsey, Head of Research, School of Sport and Service Management, University of Brighton, UK
"Physical Culture, Ethnography and the Body provides an invaluable resource for ethnographically oriented and interested researchers, and not only those interested in the empirical realm of physical culture. Bringing together a comprehensive collection of key works and discussions written by the leading exponents of their respective ethnographic approaches, this collection elucidates the complexities, contradictions, and concerns implicit within ethnographic practice in general, and focuses on those particularly pertaining to the study of physical culture. Furthermore, Giardina and Donnelly’s considered and insightful curation of this collection brings to light the empirical, methodological, and theoretical diversity of approaches utilized in examining the embodied experiences of physical culture. As such, this book is destined to inform and inspire the next generation of ethnographers of physical culture." – Professor David L. Andrews, Department of Kinesiology, University of Maryland, USA
