The corporeal turn toward critical, empirically grounded studies of
the body is transforming the way we research physical culture, most
evidently in the study of sport. This book brings together original
insights on contemporary physical culture from key figures working
in a variety of disciplines, offering a wealth of different
theoretical and philosophical ways of engaging with the body while
never losing site of the material form of the research act itself.
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.
