“…Consumption can enhance perceived normalcy by reconstructing the disability as unimportant and "de-emphasizing its value" (Titchkosky & Michalko, 2009, p. 17). For instance, individuals with physical disabilities use adaptive sports to challenge biases and feel normal by socializing and feeling equal to others (Lundberg et al, 2011). Similarly, Internet shopping reinforces a sense of normalcy by decreasing perceived vulnerability (Elms & Tinson, 2012).…”

“…Those strategies may include individual mobility by attempting to leave the group, social competition or, when the boundaries appear impermeable (it is impossible to leave the group) and social relations secure-trying to redefine elements of the comparative context by using social creativity (e.g., by embracing belief that they have some positive traits) (Haslam et al, 2010). Social identity development has been examined in a number of studies in the leisure field, including the ones on people with disabilities (Lundberg, Taniguchi, McCormick, & Tibbs, 2011), older women (Kerstetter, Yarnal, & Son, 2008), and women experiencing infertility (Glover & Parry, 2008).…”

This study examined the role of soccer spectatorship in identity development and community-building processes among Latino immigrants. Transnationalism and social identity theory were used as a theoretical foundation of this study. Twelve interviews with immigrants from Mexico, Honduras, and Argentina were conducted between June 2009 and January 2010. Interviews took place in two sports bars following the soccer games between the U.S. men's National Team and that of Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. The findings showed that the interviewees developed three types of identities: national, pan-ethnic (Latino), and transnational. Common interest in soccer led to forging bonds with other Latinos and in creating a community feeling and allegiances. Reinforcing identities and displaying togetherness and, at the same time, difference from others, was often achieved through symbolic means. The findings are analyzed in the context of the literature on (new) nationalism, identity politics, and imagined communities.

“…In order for this to occur, both the creative and the playful dimension of the activity need to be tangible. In this regard, a programme such as the one we proposed became an opportunity for facilitating the identity negotiating process, for both the participant and his/her significant other (Lundberg et al 2011). With these kinds of outcomes, an arts programme does contribute to the social integration of people with TBI as well as their significant other by reducing social isolation (Caldwell 2005).…”

The neurological consequences following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) greatly affect the person's daily life as well as that of the supporting relatives who often feel powerless. The social integration of people suffering from TBI is a long-term situation. TBI often involves communication and behavioural disorders that become limitations to social participation. In general, interventions focus on reducing the individual's difficulties and do not consider strengthening their potential. Leisure, notably arts, has been found to assist in adapting to the loss of autonomy and enhancing social reintegration. This paper proposes a new approach focused on strengthening potential through artistic recreational activities as a medium for improving communication between a person with a TBI and his/her relative. A pre-experimental study was conducted with a group of dyads of persons with TBI and their significant other (n 05 dyads). Unexpected quantitative changes were found on the Perception of Relationship and Activities Scale, more specifically on the sharing pleasant events sub-scale which decreased for the significant other group, as well as decreases on the feelings, values and feasibility of this sub-scale. However, the qualitative results revealed interesting impacts of the programme on self-realization and relationships. These data will allow us to further test the programme in an experimental study.
