Beschreibung

The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research in Sport & Physical Culture is a pivotal resource that marks the next evolutionary step in the field of qualitative research within sport and physical culture. Building on decades of methodological advancements and scholarly contributions, this handbook addresses the dynamic and expanding nature of the field. It brings together a diverse group of contributors from over a dozen countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, France, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Qatar, Spain, the United States, and the United Kingdom, showcasing the international growth and vibrancy of qualitative research in this domain.

Contributors come from a wide array of disciplinary backgrounds, such as anthropology, education, health sciences, human movement and nutrition sciences, journalism and communication, kinesiology, public health, sociology, sport and exercise psychology, sport management, and women's, gender, and sexuality studies. They explore a range of traditional and emerging topics and methodologies, from feminist inquiry and Indigenous methodologies to new materialism and political ecologies, from interviewing and ethnography to arts-based methods and participatory research, and from qualitative research developments in Asia and the Middle East to studies with fan communities and Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

Organized into five parts, the handbook begins with the politics of inquiry, emphasizing the inescapable political dimensions of qualitative research including questions of reflexivity, positionality, grant funding, and co-production. It then delves into philosophies of inquiry, practices of inquiry, and sites of inquiry, and concludes with reflections and future directions. Chapters in the handbook collectively present a review of the past, a statement on the present, and a vision for the future of qualitative research in sport and physical culture.

The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research in Sport & Physical Culture is an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and students seeking to engage with the latest developments and debates in qualitative research. It provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the field, equipping readers to navigate and contribute to the evolving landscape of sport and physical culture research.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

For those doing and teaching qualitative research in relation to sport and physical culture, The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Culture is a 'must read' collection. The handbook is notable not only for the range of topics covered by outstanding researchers and thinkers, but also for the astute ways that the fundamentals of qualitative research - and tensions around what these are and how they have been, and might be, engaged with - are mixed with cutting edge reflections on pressing social and environmental issues in the realm of sport and physical culture. My thanks to the editors and authors for producing such an important and useful resource. -- Brian Wilson The nature of qualitative research is often described as the critical inquiry into understanding human experiences, behaviors, and social phenomena. Sometimes focused on "why" and "how" behind actions and decisions, rather than just the "what, where, and when"-but then pushing. Pushing that sensed knowing into both the realm of possibilities, that which can be further done as recompense and recovery; and then toward the realm of potentialities of being and doing differently, progressively and communally, better, for self and others, for the future. The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research in Sport and Physical Culture-takes this charge applied to embodied practices in sport in diverse spaces of human social activities. Reticent to offer just another survey, each chapter of this impressive project pokes and prods at positionality in qualitative research in relation to cultural contexts and purpose; engaging a close examination of the situatedness of happenings and or orientations to them; along with exploring the politics of inquiry, philosophies of inquiry, practices of inquiry, and diverse sites of inquiry. All within the framework of exploring the ethics of being and reporting. Then offering new and emerging methodologies of qualitative research engagement for a new millennium. This book will be valuable resource and guide, not only to researchers across the panoply of sport and physical culture studies but offering new and seasoned qualitative researchers a refreshed entry into their own explorations in diverse personal, social, and political contexts. Where the practices of human social activity establish the difference between place and space, by transforming the lives of those who live and observe their engagements.

-- Bryant Keith Alexander Leaders in the field of qualitative methods, Michael Giardina, Michele Donnelly and Devra Waldman craft a vision for the future of qualitative sport and physical cultural research in this ground-breaking volume. Centrally concerned with the politics, philosophies, practices and sites that underpin qualitative inquiry in the discipline at this current moment, it is primed to become the go-to methods text for sport researchers.
