17. Jacquelyn Allen-Collinson, “Sporting Embodiment: Sports Studies and the (Continuing) Promise of Phenomenology”

Jacquelyn Allen-Collinson’s article is a brief introduction to phenomenology and its usefulness for research into sports. “There are relatively few accounts truly grounded in the ‘flesh’ of the lived sporting body,” she writes, “and phenomenology offers a powerful framework for such description and analysis” (279). Phenomenology, the study of things as they present themselves to […]

Spatial Anthropology: Preface and Section Intros

The publication titled "Spatial Anthropology: Excursions in Liminal Space" explores the intersections of spatial theory and anthropological practice, focusing on the concept of liminality within geographic and social contexts. It examines how physical and metaphorical spaces function as thresholds or transitional zones, where conventional boundaries are blurred or redefined. The work engages with case studies and theoretical reflections to analyze how liminal spaces facilitate social interactions, cultural negotiations, and identity formations, emphasizing their dynamic and processual nature. The study situates itself within a broader discourse on spatial anthropology, contributing to understandings of how spaces are produced, experienced, and contested. It highlights the importance of field excursions and embodied encounters as methodological tools, allowing anthropologists to explore the fluid and often ambiguous qualities of liminal spaces. This approach underscores the entanglement of space, culture, and power, offering insights into the ways spatial practices shape and are shaped by social life.

aifoon

The webpage "Over AiFoon" from the AiFoon project provides an overview of AiFoon as an innovative cultural initiative focused on combining sound, movement, and location to enhance urban walking experiences. AiFoon offers site-specific soundwalks that integrate ecological and cultural history with contemporary urban environments, encouraging participants to engage thoughtfully with their surroundings through auditory and physical interaction. The project emphasizes the importance of auditory perception and bodily awareness in urban spaces and aims to foster deeper emotional and sensory connections to place. The page outlines AiFoon’s interdisciplinary approach, which merges artistic practices with geographic and ecological research to explore the urban soundscape and its cultural significance. It highlights collaborations with artists, researchers, and local communities, and situates AiFoon within broader discourses on walking art, sound studies, and cultural geography. The content stresses the critical role of walking as a form of embodied knowledge that contributes to both environmental awareness and cultural understanding in contemporary cities.

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
