Despite a growing interest in the sociology of the body, there has
to date been a lack of scholarly work addressing the embodied
aspects which form a central part of our understanding and
experience of sport and movement cultures. Researching Embodied
Sport explores the political, social and cultural significance of
embodied approaches to the study of sport, physical activities and
dance. It explains how embodied approaches fit with existing theory
in studies of sport and movement cultures and makes a compelling
case for incorporating an embodied approach into the study of
sporting practices and experience. The book adopts a
multi-disciplinary lens, moving beyond the traditional dualism of
body and mind, and incorporating the physical with the social and
the psychological. It applies key theories that have shaped our
thinking about the body and sport, and examines both the personal,
subjective experience of sporting activities and those experiences
involving engagement and contact with other people, in team sports
for example. The book also explores the methodological implications
of 'doing' embodied research, particularly in terms of qualitative
approaches to sports research. Written by a team of leading
international sports researchers, and packed with vivid examples
from sporting contexts as diverse as surfing, fell running,
korfball and disability sport, Researching Embodied Sport is
fascinating reading for any advanced student or researcher working
in the sociology of sport, physical cultural studies, physical
education, body studies or health studies.
