“…Embodiment literature (Dallery, 1985;Uhlmann & Uhlmann, 2005;Yarnal et al, 2006) represents a rejection of Descartian mind/body dualism in favor of an approach to the self that includes the body and physical experiences as the basis of the human experience. However, embodiment does not necessarily include a feminist perspective and may not examine gender.…”

“…Phenomenology (i.e., one way of studying embodiment) as developed by Merleau-Ponty (1962) is often criticized for assuming that the lived body is free of gender when in fact a male norm is presupposed (Dallery). Therefore, explicitly feminist studies of embodiment are necessary to provide insights into the ways women's lived experiences of their bodies (i.e., as objects) differ from men's lived experiences of their bodies (i.e., as subjects; Uhlmann & Uhlmann, 2005). The influence of power on bodies and gender (Saugeres, 2002) and the relationship between power, knowledge, and embodiment (Paechter, 2006) is important.…”

Women's leisure time sport participation was examined in relation to resistance, bodies and community. Fifteen interviews were conducted with participants and coaches in two all-women's triathlon training groups in Austin, Texas. Qualitative methods and grounded theory guided the interviewing and data analyses. The results indicate that allwomen's leisure time sport groups are capable of providing an atmosphere for women, particularly sport novices, to recreate and reappropriate their bodies and their sport.

“…Regardless of how MMA has been classified and conceptualized, the sport has entered the mainstream sport context. Researchers have also paid an increasing attention to the sport in relation to gender and embodiment (Uhlmann and Uhlmann 2005;Stenius 2015;Vaccaro and Swauger 2015;Channon and Matthews 2015;Channon et al 2017;Green 2016), body techniques (Spencer 2009), and emotional management (Vaccaro et al 2011), as well as violence, pain and injuries (Stenius and Dziwenka 2015;Jensen et al 2016). One highly influential study was conducted by Spencer (2012a; see also 2014), who ethnographically followed the everyday life at an MMA club (see also Green 2011).…”

Negotiating violence: Mixed martial arts as a spectacle and sport

Drawing on qualitative interviews with Mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes and stakeholders, this study aims to investigate the relationship between, on the one hand, MMA as a spectacle and imaginary world, and on the other, the fighters' experiences of violence, pain and 'the real'. Analytically, we are influenced by the literature on the spectacle and on hyperreality. The results show that athletes' negotiations concerning the sport largely connect to a particular way of approaching violence-culturally and in terms of physical experience. On the one hand, there is a desire to portray MMA as a civilized and regulated sport. The athletes develop different strategies by which to handle or renegotiate the physical force and violence in the cage. On the other hand, however, the fighters' bodily control and management of their fear sometimes breaks down. When the spectacle of the octagon becomes 'real' , the legitimacy of the sport is questioned.

“…Furthermore, to examine the unspeakable experience beyond verbal language, Van Manen (1990) and Alerby (2003) suggest using painting as a form of language that speaks for the silent and tacit dimension of the adolescent experience. Also, to re-construct past experience through textual archives, cultural historians focus on the logic of rhetorical deployments and organizing practices, for example, the use of metonymy, metaphor, irony, and special word ordering, as the essential vehicle for studying how signs come to seem experientially real for users (e.g., Uhlmann and Uhlmann 2005).…”

Unveiling the Non‐discursivity of the Lifeworld Experience: An Inquiry into the Taken‐for‐Grantedness of the Spousal Sexual World of Hong Kong Chinese Couples*

Although the phenomenological thesis of the lifeworld (Lebenswelt) has posited that the intersubjective experience is largely non‐discursive, sociologists seldom attend to the dimension of non‐discursivity in empirical inquiries. Based on the work of Alfred Schutz, this study first endeavors to explicate that lived experience (Erlebnis) is founded on the non‐discursivity of the lifeworld, that is, the pre‐predicative background expectancies that make possible the everyday life experience. Then, along the Schutzian line of thinking, two novel research techniques—the surface interview and answer‐aire—are designed to delve into the taken‐for‐grantedness of the lifeworld, using the spousal sexual world as a case in point. This study pioneers a way that the structures of the horizon that lie within the unsaid region of the lifeworld become sociologically and scientifically examinable.
